No wheel beats volans on the 850s, from a purely aesthetic point of view. Almost every other wheel does mechanically though, damn things crack and flatspot constantly.... they're even worse than the morbidly obese Titans in that respect. Still want some.

It sounds like you are doing late in life education. Is this a new education effort or a type of continuing training to maintain relevance? I have been working on classes to meet ongoing education needs for engineering license.

Hy Volvolugnut,
It's a kind of "style of exercice", to try to convince my enterprise that I'm not as silly as I I seem to be... It's just fun to be more awarded than my boss... :D

For the Blue bird, 27 500 € ( 33 155 $), does the price look fair to u ?

Beautiful color, didn't know it was an option for Rs. 27000 is alot lot of money. Unless the miles are really really low. Then it is still alot of money.
