Default The rowboat has arrived...

Slowly but surely it ran ashore...



With some rubber...



The $1 bill represents my net worth after buying them...

Very nice! Where'd you get the tires? I need to order a set for the new wheels I have coming in Unfortunately, my boat won't set sail for another ~60 days.

Jeremy-

Thanks.

I agree...1,500 miles on DR's...not good.

Looking forward to the slicks too. Should be here tomorrow according to tracking.

Damn!!!! How low is your front end???

They look sweet though.

Better add a few thousand more if you want a ST, unless you are doing the install yourself.

Are those the center caps you bought from me?

Damn, those are some good looking wheels and great tire selection, those will be my next set. Tell me how they go.

Hahah, good way to straighten Rob out Bert. I'm the same as you, need more rubber for traction.

**Bert, how is road noise on those?**
