Hey guys, I haven't been here since the sites big changeover. I figured it was time I rejoined. Mostly lurked in the past but hopefully will become more active now.

I don't have any pics handy of my van to upload, but the link to my cardomain page should be enough for a start. I need to put more pics on that too.

Looking forward to some great advice and some good laughs.

According to cardomain they are KMC Stealth Chrome 18 inch. I found some here. Years ago I wanted a set for a Lincoln Towncar.

Thanks folks.
Yes they are KMC stealth 18 x 8. I have not been happy with the quality but they are probably the coolest looking rims I have ever seen. They are recently not holding air due to corrosion on the beads. The chrome has never been good. I have had them unmounted, cleaned and bead sealed a few times but it keeps coming back. I'm contemplating getting new rims or having the Stealths refurbed and rechromed. New rims would actually be a lot cheaper, but gawd I love these.

The Kit is a Xenon Python kit.
The color is factory GM Silvermist, really cool stuff. It varys between silver and metallic beige depending on lighting and the clear has a pearl that adds a bluish color sometimes. I was told it's hard to match. Guess I'll find out when I fix the rusty Quarterpanel next year.

I have upgraded to the Stainless custom dual exhaust that I planned to do, but have not updated my cardomain page to say so. But the STS Turbo system is still a dream.

It used to be pretty quick, but it has not run quite right for a few years, hopefully with the invaluable advice on this site I can finally get that fixed.
