Default Wheel # 4 has arrived

Is now being mounted at STS... Cant believe that mounting is so much money $80 for a set... what the fvck. I need to buy a tire mounting machine and a balancer too. That way I can do my own.

that's not bad. I paid $60 just to have mine rebalanced. With mounting i'd be $100+.

Default thats very good.... round here they want like $104 or so. Such bullsh!t

it takes them like 5 mins per wheel to mount and 2 to balance em. Neither takes an IQ above room temp.
