Thanks Mate. Beetleball events are indeed yearly. The full series now includes Vancouver Canada to Mexico, L.A. to Vegas, the winter Blizzard 500 and new for this year is New York to San Francisco.

I've got a second set of trim for the car, just haven't gotten around to hitting it with semi-gloss black. Not sure how much of it I'm going to do yet...I'm wary of that '70s blacked-out-trim look.
The A032R's have been on the car for a total of 4 days, during which we've got about 8" of snow...They've just been on my Audi 90 Quattro rally car, and won't actually be used on the bug. It's too bad, awesome tire, but not made any more.
