    You are right, its not a Testarossa. Its much better. (And yes I have owned 3). But anyone looking at one would say its a Testarossa. What do you think the "TR" stands for?

    And what's with the Miami Vice hate from the author? Obviously a very boorish and uneducated man..:)

    OK, explain it to me because I really do love the look of the single (in this case) bolt as opposed to traditional lugs. How do you keep them torqued?

    you never can check a tighten bolt/nut how tight it is after you tighten it once. only way is to loose again and then tighten again.
    you always have a breakaway torque that is higher than the torque you tightened.

    What a PIA! You would really have to like the single nut look to put up with that. If you are not a pretty handy individual, you would probably have to go to a dealer or a Indy to get them changed, because Discount Tire is surly out!

    Definitely don’t go to Discount Tire for this! I’ve had mine torqued on by 3 different factory techs at 3 different shops over the years and so far 0 problems.
