New Rims
Next item on the agenda: new tires for the previously acquired rims. I had
my doubts when I got these rims because of their apparent condition: they
were very dirty, had a few nicks and scratches, had all of the middle covers
broken, and were of a different size than stock rims. Still, the price was
right.
Today, I bit the bullet and had them done anyway. I am actually extremely impressed with the results. They were cleaned back in the fall, which helped their general appearance greatly. The tires now hide a lot of the scratches along the rims. The wheels look just fine without the center pieces. The higher width-to-height ratio feels excellent when driving. They also look far better with tires and on the car than I predicted.
Two marks that I have been holding my breath on are finally in. I got a B+ in DSP and an A+ on the final-year project. Certainly far off from the F's that were circulating in the back my cerebral cortex. Tonight, I celebrate.
