Isn't there the argument that spinning spokes or mags create the same air blockage as a solid wheel at speed?

You’re not wrong. I seen it on the internet and went back all week looking. Decided if it was there Friday I was going to look at it. It’s in top shape. My buddy that works at a dealership was kinda busting my ***** about the price I paid for it. Until he seen it. Then he admitted I did pretty good. Would have cost me about 3500 more had the dealership been selling it.

I’m looking forward to putting some more miles on it for sure.
