This was such a cool and very rare sight. How often do you get a 21 Window, a 15 Window, a Standard and a 23 Window ......... all in the Mouse Grey color scheme ....... together at one event!? I'm sure I wasn't the only one drooling and taking pictures of these rides together.

Looks good dude, kinda like it. Never seen these wheels before. Fits the Chanel look.

We've been playing around again as well yesterday.
Managed to fit this in the rear of my '53 Barndoor: 8J Fuchs with a 225/60/15 tire ...this looks juicy! Cool
