I think correct 55's have what they call "eggs" which are smaller than the hearts that 57's run. The 55 only's are very expensive also.

Regardless, it was nice of Joe to flip lenses with ya Billy.


55= eggs
56 & 57 (and up to 60 IIRC) = snow flakes
54 and down (to 53 I think) = hearts

Actually 55 had eggs, hearts and flakes.
Eggs for US cars until April when they switched to Flakes.
Hearts for Euro cars until April when they......

I like rings -I wonder if it would look any better if you painted the outer ring of the rim black so it blend with the tire
and not see that white lip just outside of the beauty ring.. Your car rocks -sorry if I sound like I don't appreciate..
