Where are you going to find a 3 rotor wankel? The last time I saw one of those was in 66 in a nsu ro80.

I am going to try and have them on for the meet if the tire place can get them. If not, I have buy them off eBay and is 4 day shipping. Trying to decide on width and offset right now. I would love a 18x9 +35 but I think they will rub with my 245/40 tires.

Guess I can find a road that leads to there and meet you (and anybody else) at a gas station somewhere along it.

As for what way I was taking, whatever google maps said would get me from here to there.

26 goes straight across to Gas City. We could meet there at a gas station.
