Default New Wheel/Tire setup!!



Yeah, that's right. I'm back to my stock wheels and tires.... thanks to my 17 year old younger brother. I let him borrow the car for a day ( taking his girlfriend around town, going on a date... etc, ya know ) and when I drive it the next day, I notice vibrations. BAD vibrations. Guess what? 3.... yes, 3 bent rims. To fronts are very bad, and one in the back is only mildly bent. He said he was driving in the Olive Garden parking lot and didn't see one of those planters with concrete around it. Apparently he slammed into it, benting the front two, and continued his little trek up over the planter and bent one of the rears as well. Sold the rims (19's) and tires (just bought them for $500 two weeks ago) to a dude at the tire place for $450.

Previous picture from 2 weeks ago.
