I'm surprised and dismayed, Kathi, that you would ever assume that the owner of a car with such tasteful rims/caps/tyres would be male....

Most of us know that only females taste that good     oops!  :-\  let me re-phrase that.....

have such good taste...

Very nice car already, Jamie, enjoy!   8)

(and I do agree with Kathi;, your friend clearly does have good taste - but I was primarily looking at her colour-scheme... ;) )

cheers, jack
