The wheels are coming from a company I never would have considered...Motegi. I always thought of them as those cheap wheels you get from Canadian Tire for your riced out Civic, but they actually have some nice stuff. The wheels are "flow formed", which I assumed was their way of saying cast, but apparently is also known as spin/roll forging. The model is MR131 Traklite. TireRack only shows the 18 in an 8" wide wheel, but a local distributor was able to order them in a 9" width for about CDN$300/wheel.

Will do. If I don't get them in the next couple of weeks, it will be some time before I can get to it...going in for rotator cuff decompression and reconstruction surgery in early April. I won't be turning any wrenches for a while and don't like anyone else touching my car.

Are you still working? I was wondering, as I hadn't seen you around town. So the shoulder isn't getting any better by the sounds of it. Good luck with the surgery. If you get the tires and wheels put on, you will have to stop by so I can check them out. That is if we have dry roads and you can drive after the surgery without any pain.

, same as me. Had it out of the garage once to spin it around to work on, as most snow was gone. But now we have had more snow again! Planned to get it on the road end of March, but now debating to wait till April. Need this snow gone!

I didn't drive the car to work until June last year, but mainly since I didnt want to until the work I did was done. This year already excited to hit the road!
