What year is your TL? Because my stock 99TL wheels is not chrome.

But I did scratch one of my 17" Giovanna chrome rim. Check this site out: http://www.wheeltechnologies.com/pop2.html

Maybe you could stop 1.5 billion chinese people using simplified characters, cause that is also a foul too. Are they nuts, the characters are the only thing that is making us unique now a days. Us chinese are becoming copy cats, we need style. •Öác

LOL, you're welcome.

It's just that I corrected kuan48 in some other thread... plus there is this Lead Tester at my job... she always uses "u" and it frickin pisses me off! How professional is that?

Its along the same lines as typing in all CAPS (I ignore anyone who does this ) or in all lowercase (not quite as bad). But its just a pet peeve.

English is a wonderful language, you should learn it sometime.

Guy, thank you for posting the replies. My TL is 2000 and the wheels are the stock ones I got with the car. I just wanted to get in between a car and the curb while trying to turn right. I never get this kind of stupid problems, but I guess I am going to have to refinish them somewhere. Thanks again.

Don't forget all the other AOL chat abbreviations based on misspellings and numbers... And it's no better in all lowercase. In fact, it's worse because then there's no warning sign until you're a few words into the sentence.

b kewl nate, cuz u no they r doin it 4 just 1 reason, 2 bug u!
