            Because instead of paying $80 to have them mounted/balanced at America's Tire, I had them done for a 12 pack of Twilight Ale by a friend who works at the local dealership, and that's all they had. And actually, I haven't spent "so much" on anything at all.

              I'm dissapointed in you for not lining the tread up in this stack. I thought you were more OCD than that. :)


              Wheels look great though, should look even better when they're finally mounted on the car.

                You think I didn't try? :D That angle is deceiving, the tread doesn't line up exactly.

                    There used to be tons of great 16's but tire manufacturer's seemed to stop supporting our sized tires which makes it difficult to use 16's these days.

                    Josh when are we gonna see these one the car?

                      that's a lot of air around that tire.

                          Likely by the end of this week, fellas. My car has been on jackstands for almost a month, no one wants to see it back on the ground more than I do.

                          I paid $175 to have them blasted and coated.
