Default MEASURE TWICE ... CUT ONCE

SO WE WENT TO INSTALL MY NEW ITP SERIES 5 WHEELS TODAY.GOT THEM OFF THE E-BAY GUY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DID. UNPACK THEM , TAKE OFF THE TIRES , ETC... PUT THE REARS ON , NO PROBLEM.PUT THE FRONTS ON , PROBLEM. THEY SENT ME 4 X 115 BOLT PATTERN FRONT WHEELS . THE 2K6 WOLVY TAKES A 4 X 110 BOLT PATTERN. CALLED THEM , SHOULD HAVE NEW ONES BY TUESDAY. BUT , HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER 1 HOUR DRIVE OUT TO THE MECHANIC & PAY FOR ANOTHER SET OF TIRES TO BE INSTALLED. THATS WHY U SHOULDNT BUY STUFF OF THE INTERNET SOME PEOPLE SAY. NO BIGGIE , BUT I SHOULD OF READ THE BOX LABEL ON THE WHEELS.

It was prolly still cheaper to buy the wheels and have the tires put on twice then it would be to buy the wheels locally and have the tires put on once.

call the guy you bought them from and say, look, i bought these rims off of you that were supposed to be the right size and u sent me the rong ones, and i don't have the money to get the tires installed twice. don't be an @$$ about it and he might give you the money to do it unless the guy is a jerk. stuff like that usually works for me. just my 2 cents

I've saved hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars ordering from the internet versus buying locally. Twice I've had an order come to me wrong, in both cases it was quickly fixed at no expense to me. The money I'm saving is well worth the minor inconveniences that occasionally happen...

Right Here. Works real nice. It comes as a kit and is designed for air cooled engines. I can't link directly to the item, Highlifter's site is screwy that way. It's in the on-line store under Performance-coolant system upgrades.

I think the best thing to do for new tires/wheels is to go to Rockymountain. They have almost any combo of tire/rim and come pre-mounted. Really nice price compared to a local place.
