Seeing all these atvs with new wheels and tires has inspired me to waste some hard earned cash. Tell me what you guys think!! Worth it or not? (Personally I like them!!)



Before.





And after!!

This is the first time I have changed my own tires. Wasn't too bad. I'll never pay another shop to do it for me again.



The new wheels



Pretty spiffy!!

Looks like you have the right tools for the job [makes all the difference!] the rims look great I really like the look. GOOD JOB!

Thanks!.... Searched the web high and low for the right ones, (good looks at a good price) then I twisted my arm and closed my eyes as I hit the confirm order tab. It was all down hill from there. LOL.

Here's the interesting thing...Harbor freighter tire changer-$35, tire irons $10 grand total $45.
Having the new tires installed on the stock wheels when purchased $65

AND you will always have the tools. Make some free cash, only charge your buddies 3/4 the cost of having them done at the shop you got all the tools LOL

Those are some good looking wheels. I like the tires too. A friend of mine used a bumper jack on his truck bumper to change tires. Just put the bottom of the jack on your tire and it does the same thing the tire changing tool does. That's a lot better than running them over with the truck to break them loose like I did.

Since he's your neighbor you should only charge him half price if his tires rot off the rims.
