My bad.  There's been several pmails on these wheels, so I guess I'd
better fill in the missing blanks.  The Wheel Style is an F7 with
silver paint on it.  Again, son't expect Rheins for $88 here, but no
drillie no borie cold make life a lot easier.  I may well buy 4 more
for the winter tires,. if you guys and gals haven't drained their back stock!!
