Missouri (Kansas City in particular) is the only state I have driven wherein people actually stop on the on-ramp before trying to merge.....maybe Alfa drivers are the exception! I can also see you have not visited Pennsylvania. Very common there and it even happens here in Ohio. I think a merge tes...

I do not have much info on the wheels as they were on the car when I bought her. I am on a business trip at the moment and will check them when I get home. I know they are not Borbets.
