Wesman...I had my 2001 wheels exchanged at Discount Tire on MacArthur Blvd. in North Irving. 150.00 each exchange. All of the chrome shops are/in around Los Angeles, California. They were grandfathered during an EPA clean up years ago. I have a friend up in Sachse that can chrome small parts (Chrome Depot) no wheels :(

Whew! :eek: I just finished dismantling my laptop. It appears the input jack had an intermittent open to the circuit board. Upon further examination I determined that this was of a weak design. From repeated insertion of the male plug :eek: the female receptacle (imagine that) rocked back and forth thus creating an open. :eek: Damn...I am glad I used to PC tech at Computize some years ago. (FWISD Contract/Apple/Computize. Anyway...I have resoldered the female thingy to the PC board and all is well! :tu:


oh yeah...back on topic...Discount had them for 150.00/exchange a few months back. Give me a ring, we will take the receipt to the Discount Tire over near Windsor Heights Apt. and we will do a little arm twisting...you have seen nothing yet. I have done over 2 large with those guys. Gimmy an e-mail. jw
