The dark wheels really contrast well with that colour. BTW is Crystal Green a factory/original colour ? Looks tough.

Take a pressure washer to the wheel to get the plastic dip off. Thats the quickest way

Like the wheels also but glad you mentioned the understeer. I think a lot of people don't realise when running big stagger just how much 'push' you risk introducing. Pretty sure you can get some 10's of those wheels that they ran on the narrow bodied rear engine model of the time. That's what I'd be checking into.

Dave, now that you have new wheels don't do what I did and part with your Fuchs. I've kicked myself in the *** more times than I care to admit wishing I hadn't sold mine.

Alfa Romeo GTV6 - Also my room mate's, although I do have a black one.
I'm impressed you managed to find a roommate in the greater Seattle area that not only has an interest in non-hybrid cars, but has an interest in the same kind of cars you do.

I lived in Seattle area (Redmond and Sammamish) for 3 years and the only car enthusiasts I could find were the guys with the fat wallets and the "I don't know what it is, it just looks cool, and I take it to the dealer to have my iphone charger installed" types!

If I ever get stuck moving back to the PNW I'm moving next door to you.
