[s-cars] ISO: 1 Mille Miglia Emotion SSL, 17x8, 5x112, 35mm offset

[Lee Levitt]

I've been to R&W a couple of times in the past...too bad they're 
the way they are, they're pretty convenient for me.

The other shop in the area, Rim Pro (www.rimpro.com) *is* very 
good. They've refinished a number of wheels for me, maybe 20 at 
this point, and I've been very happy with the results. They're not 
100% OE, but they're pretty close...good enough for me.
