Pretty cool, my dad was a shop chief for fuels when I was growing up. Used to love to get to go in the hanger. To this day I love the smell of jet fuel.

what brand wheel are those? There are a few sets of LM reps that have cracked under regular driving conditions.

Just a thought... when buying these kind of wheels.

From what I have read and seen, mostly the Chikara's were the real bad ones. I haven't heard too many bads on the Varrstoens, yet..

Prime example of you get what you pay for. Cheap knockoff equals cheap product, which will be prone to failure.
