New Wheels & Tires

Well here I am excited about my new wheels and tires and how I got them ... Now if any of my custom buddies read this, they will think I have gone mad, (Don).

My vibe has 17" rims and tires on it, the alloys that are an upgrade from factory. The other day a stranger walked up to me to see if I would sell him my rims and tires. I asked what he drove and he said a Matrix. I went to see his ride and noticed that he had stock 16" wheels with hub caps, (1 missing).

So I thought I would try and strike a deal. Here it is. In exchange for my wheels & tires, he would buy new tires and a new set of hubcaps and then we would switch wheels.

Well he swore my tires looked new, (Actually have 32K miles on them), and as for hubcaps he agreed to get me my moon discs.

So in the end I got a new steel wheels with new tires and Moon Hubcaps for an alloy set of Vibe wheels with tires that have 32K miles on them.

I believe thats called, making out like a bandit. I was thinking about asking him to buy me LRR tires, but thought I was pushing it already ...

I'll get pics up of the new shoes once I get the hubcaps on ...
