You know where the house is, come on by any time. Just call first just in case we're out breaking her in some more.

Mounting and Ballancing.

$250 ea is much more reasonable.

She said the rims were $225. That's $900 for the set. Plus, if you keep the original rims, you can sell them, perhaps on eBay or maybe ask your dealer for what they are worth.

O.K., lets say you bought a starter and the place you bought it from charges you a "core charge" untill you return the old one. The core is the old one. They will keep the old wheels.
