Tire shop didn't come through for me yesterday. They got too backed up with other jobs, and apparently stretching low-profile tires on brand new wheels that need to not have a scratch on them doesn't rank high on their priority list. Oh well, hopefully this afternoon they'll have me all set. Currently have the Works mounted again...need to get these to shelter asap.

John, have you checked if the techs at your local Acura are enthusiasts? I've had excellent luck with the guys there being into the cars and loving to stretch and balance properly and getting the balance machine calibrated frequently...doesn't run me any more than the other places either.
And, they squeeze me right in when I need it done. I love those guys.

I'm in redneckville. No one around here drives modified imports. Everyone is into pickup trucks and snowmobiles. I've had good luck with this place, but they definitely aren't enthusiasts. I need to learn how to stretch tires so I can just start doing it myself...those machines can't be that expensive, right? :P

Cosmis Racing MRII in hyper black

I am usually fan of the side shots on TL, but that concave changed everything.
Well done

shuddup J.
wait, why?
My sentence it right
I am fan of side shots, but concave changed it.
Now to see the perfect concave, I am more fan of the quarter shots instead of side view
Hah!!!!
