I have never really understood Esmeralda Marcos and her fetish for shoes. Shoes of all types, colors, materials, shapes. Mostly in size 14 or 15.... It's either an icon, a deity, a fetish, an ark or just a truck. Mine is an ark, carries me and the accoutrements far and wide. The wheels just serve to keep the tires from hitting the brakes. Since there is a diminishing number of 1705lb rated 14" tires, I selected the SA wheels marketed by Overland who supplies I suppose Wilfy and the assumedly defunct Vanagon Projekt. My supplier refused to give me back my old wheels claiming they were "just gone". The SAs are excellent wheels, keep the 215/70 tires from hitting the brakes and were reasonably priced (if you exclude the price of the stolen wheels). However, I cannot dispute another's quest for fashion. I have seen often, sets of wheels on various, "ricewagens" that cost more than the rest of the car. You pays you money, you makes you choice. hi joel, what kind of shoes do you have on the blitzenwagen? pensioner
