Thanks for the tip gents - I stopped by there today and met Farley. "Cozy", very clean operation. The shop reminds me a bit of my old Porsche mechanic's place in CT, from years ago. Farley makes a great first impression, and he seems to be a genuine enthusiast. He was doing a winter tire & rim swap for a 340, with the owner right there.

I picked up my rims in NYC last week, and I'm almost done cleaning them up. I ordered my Blizzak LM001s this afternoon and am having them shipped to EuroTech. So, I should be ready for winter by the end of the week, if everything goes as planned.

Thanks again for all of your help, advice and PMs.
