    Don't think so. 9x18 and 11x18.

    The fact no one has pointed out the cheesy gold 850i lettering is a good sign.
    Thanks all for the positive feedback!

    It looks great! Seeing one wearing MKs is what made me pull the trigger after lusting for decades for one.

    Couldn't agree more. Something about the MK's that fit the 8 so well.

    Beautiful car! What shade of blue? Last 3 photos look like Nottoway Park -- did you make it to Deutsche Marque Concours on Sunday? If so, I missed seeing a beauty. Here's mine - on display but not judged.

    Small world. Ya, it was the DMC! I saw your ride there and was admiring your caps on the front light harness with the exception of the missing one . Noticed all your trim looks new!?
    I looked for you and the other 8 owner but I was in and out pretty quickly. I was with my dad but he doesn't get around very well anymore.
    You ride was pristine!
    Mine is Mauritus (sp?) Blue.

    It looks GREAT. Of course I have become a little biased lately!

    George, thanks. Looking forward to our next meeting, however I won't make Vintage.

    And I thought he was talking to me! LOL. I won't make Vintage either, but I should be at O'fest. I've managed to convince my wife to come. I told her she could wear her helmet if she participates in the autocross. She wants to wear it all the time, like the Stig.
