I just receive these key pieces to a car I'm hoping to receive later this year. These will replace the factory units. 🤩Â

Marty, you did the right thing by ordering in advance. I understand Buick will discontinue the Encore after 2022. Those rims will look great on that vehicle. Do you have any plans to enhance the performance of the 1.4L turbo I-4 (155hp) engine?

@chris Ha! Yeah, just a "bit" of enhancement! I'm looking forward to driving it in the Woodward Dream Cruise! LOL!

BTW: My Brother-In-Law picked up his new Vette a couple a weeks ago (I haven't talk to him yet). He utilized the "see it being built" option, flew down to Bowling Green, and had a blast. I know you're watching the clock & counting days!

@chris - I'm considering doing the "watch it built" option. Of course, having worked at Ford and visited every plant at River Rouge, I've seen pretty much all of the automotive manufacturing processes. However, I think my wife would enjoy the experience because she's never seen anything like it before. We only live once, right? Â
