Slate, thanks for the kind words. Hopefully, this spring I will install a set of wheels that I can keep at least a year..

But seriously....I am told it is for inflating with nitrogen. One valve is used to bleed the tire when the nitrogen is being filled thru the other valve.

I also like the black rims better. Maybe not the style,but the black with silver lip with pepper white really works for me.

Berk, I like the last set of rims you had better. The new ones are alright though. How do you like cleaning them?

You will love them when you see them in person.

Well, wht rims are hard to keep clean, but i clean my car 2 times a week anyways, and the rims, i just wipe them when i am bored, which happens to be quite often

BTW, the black rims are sold. I have a set of Pirelli runflats available, 3 oftem are in good shape, one has little miles on it, oh ****, you are on 16s, totally forgot about it, it is time Greg, upgrade rims and tires.

hehe...no thank you...I think I will stick with my 16s. The only upgrade in the wheel/tire department will be wider, non-runflats. All you guys can have a great time with your nice looking 18s. They really do look good.

If I cleaned my rims that much they would always be white. You should have seen them a week or two ago...they were essentially black rims.

You will find thats true about nearly all mods on this forum....mostly just the easy to get bolt-ons. Kinda a bummer.
