Allegretto, that is my exact car. Well, silver/black-S with rock lobsters. Man we need some new wheels. I have the same jack but I got it at Costco pretty cheap if I remember correctly (check their website).

You carry that jack around in your car? I don't see a spare so you must be relying on the green glue if you get a flat. Please expand...

No, I just put it in there when I head to my out of Boston top secret garage to swap tires and stuff like that (i.e. my mother's house in the burbs).
I am strongly considering getting a spare to carry but will likely get a small scissor jack. I've even thought about taking my 235 18" front snow rim as a carry along on longer trips for piece of mind. To Be Continued...

yeah, I paid $80 at PB today. Light, small, hell i could carry it around in the trunk i think. but why bother?

i ordered HRE C21's from Wheel Enhancement last week, but due to some sort of shortage of titanium hardware they wont be in till early July. i think they kick ***. i ordered them with pewter centers and polishd rims, just georgous! less then 20 lbs.

i asked around here and some fellows posted that HRE was banned in Viper League or SCCA or PCA but I searched their websites and saw nothing. another gentleman posted a pic of a proported broken HRE wheel that was actually a Kinesis. not that Kinesis are bad, and all wheels can break. in truth i appreciate the input, but you just gotta do your own homework in the end and go with what you like.

i plan to put winter tires on the lobsters.

Dave at Wheel Enhancement was showed a lot of patience and was very helpful.

what are you looking at?

Hey Dave,

I saw the jack in the boot of your car - but where's the spare tire to go along with it
