Yep Im back to the silver wheels for now. I am thinking of powder coating this set too... The other tires were too worn to keep driving on them so I just switched.

i just looked at the weather, looks like it is supposed to warm up for about the next week or so, so i think i am going to put off the tires until later next week and just head up to baierl.
Oh I've had my fair share of incidents with them. But an extra set of wheels and tires won't fit in the X so I have to go local. Baierl is way out of the question. At any rate, my dad took my new wheels and tires to Biondi today to get them mounted. They actually didn't scratch them. I wouldn't really care even if they did because afterall they are cheap wheels. Now the bad part - They did not have a "small enough cone to fit my wheels on the balancer so they couldn't balance them." My dad said he then went up the street to NTB and they balanced them no problem. Sometimes I just don't get shops. But hey, whatever, no big deal, they only charged for the mounting. But... it seems every time I go to Biondi something goes wrong.

somewhere i could be in and out of on my lunch break tomorrow or thursday that i can actually trust not to ruin my wheels.

i gotta get these damn summer tires off if this weather is going to be like this, and unfortunately baierl doesn't have saturday service hours.
Sears. When I worked at sears during college the guys messed up wheels a few times. I was the guy who would inspect them and be like, hey you guys ****ed those wheels up, those marks are from a tire machine. Cut him a check and don't let it happen again. I actually cut a check for a brand new full siezed dully diesel that had chrome wheels that we scratched. If you pursue it hard enough sears is big enough that they will be able to pay for the damage.

yeah, i just don't feel like dealing with any bullsh*t. i would rather just have it done right the first time then to have to fight with them to replace wheels that cost around 800 a piece from mitsu.

5MPH over is no points and people are more willing to pay the fine. People also think that is some warped way they are being given a "break" by the police.

I've never gotten a ticket, no matter how small that i did not fight.

Extortion sucks.

All we have to do is slap a 35r on our cars and some coilovers then we dont have to worry about getting tickets
