Congratulations Robert!!!

You're now the 2nd person that I know of, that has the Sahara's.

Bill Phillips (Helmsman) purchased a set earlier this year. Got to see them @ one of our PacNW meets, but I forgot to take pictures. Can't remember his wheels specs, send him a PM???

I wish I knew the origins of the marboro pack on the rim to show lippage.
It really is a good measure, as a lip the size of the 'width' of a pack is about 0 offset :)
Put a pack on the lip the long ways and even 'drifters' will look twice.
