What we really need are wheel pants that one can take on and off quickly so that we can do wheel pants for Sundays and Shows and nude wheels for working days :shock:

Actually, the originals aren't that hard to take off. Six or eight screws and one bolt. Less than a minute (each) with a driver/drill.

Yep, even with my aging back it's still a couple of minutes R & R. I cringe just a bit when I see nice originals that have been "cut out" for airing the tires. Mac
