My avatar probably makes people think I'm a broke-ass.

If I were to follow that reasoning would that make me a Geo?

How sad.

Thanks for that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It's a Chevy/Toyota mutt....never gonna be anything other than that, either. With that in mind i was going for better than factory without trying to get tacky. overdone, or ghetto looking with it.

Kindof tough when you're starting with such a "Bleh" palette......

And as is most the time simple is better, The rims on your car are the perfect size, and thats all you need to make a car look good, a nice set of rims, and a good tint job, sometimes thats the best way to enhance a car

It never hurts to have access to a top-notch paintjob for no more than materials plus $100, either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

It didn't occur to me at first when I bought these Konigs but as soon as they arrived it automatically gave me four full-size spares instead of the crappy cereal bowl doughnut spare that came with the car. I was a bit pleased when I realized that for the first time.
real tires/wheels > temporary spares

Most trucks come with full size spares.

Minus the Honda Ridgeline, its not a truck so it gets a donut

I understand that so my experience wouldn't apply to Chevy getting new rims for his Silverado.

But the factory wheels on my car were 14" x 5.5" wrapped in 185/65R14 tires.

I went to a 17" x 7" rim with 205/40R17 tires.

can of fix a flat is about as good as its gonna get

I disagree.

I had just bought tires for my car before I fell into a deal I couldn't pass up on the 17s that are on it now.

So when I went to the 17" wheels I automatically gained four factory wheels with tires on them with less than 2 weeks of driving on them.

I'll take a full-size tire with new tire tread on it (four of them, actually) over Fix A Flat anyday. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

It's weird. You make up this general idea of what you think people are like in real life. Even things like their avatar/sig play a big role in how I think of them.Sometimes it's good that we keep things within the electronic boundaries. I'm sure everyone who met me agrees.

I enjoyed meeting you Dennis //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
