now, what do they weigh?
do they come with a polished lip?
hyper black?

can I get a different expression on the bear's face?

There should be some kind of matter-antimatter relationship between these wheels and MINIs - put them on your car and it vaporizes instantly.

Yes I believe the new 2004 Tek has the bears standard. Regardless of whether or not you get the tent option or that sport option with that completely pointless spoiler.

These are definitely the wheels for Richard Simmons. Are they edible? They remind me of Teddy Grahams.

They're almost as bad as those wheels that look like daisies, with white petals for spokes and a yellow center. Have you guys seen those?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that teddy bear a Grateful Dead logo thing?
Sorry not a I'm not a Dead Head, but I see it in sticker form on cars...usually a line of multi-color bears...dancing?

There is a dancing bear Grateful Dead logo, but the bears on those rims aren't the same ones. I'm telling you, they're Teddy Grahams. I'm getting a set in chocolate for my next road trip. :smile:

Yeah, the subliminal Teddy Graham imagery made me leave the office for an early lunch.

I don't want to know what **** Cheney shaped rims would do to me!
