woot new rims

just bought some new 17" rims with new Kumho Ecsta KH11: 225/50/17 tires. not installed on car yet....will get pics of car with installed, gonna get new front alignment too since my car drifts to the right as it is and i just replaced my axle today. let me know what you think....

oh ya, that blue, its the reflection of the center piece...I also have chrome center piece so it wont have any blue at all. the felection of the chrome blends in with the rims.

goood ol fukcing UPS

well, today is D day. Suppose to get my rims today, will most likely get them installed and have pics by christmas. But anyways Im looking at the tracking info on my rims. shows all 4 boxes. 3 are out for delivery, being shipped to my house as we speak. And my other rim is still at Seattle still....the other 3 went from, Seattle to Fife then to start to my house....I can't believe they left a ****ing rim in seattle. Just my luck. this is like the 6th package from UPS and FedEx that has been screwd up in a row, no joke...last time my exhaust went somewhere else and they sent me 2 little boxes...but anyways, to make a long story short. Im pissed...I seriously will only be doing the 3 wheel motion this christmas. I know!!! maybe Santa will pick it up in Seattle and drop it off at my house! THANKS UPS!

they don't always scan every package.
I've had an instance where it said the package was still in chicago, but was actually already being delivered to my customer

I hope your right bro, I would just love for once that my package was delivered on time and COMPLETE! maybe they did just forget to scan it, **** happens right?

Pics will be up in the next day or two, I hope!

If you would use the USPS, none of this would have happened...

Well I got the rims. all 4!!!!!!!!! But check this....I was suppose to get the lugs with them. Great, they didn't come....If you look at the pic above you will see why our stock lug nuts won't fit...I need one that is like 2 1/2' long before it has the nut part that you can bolt on...or I need the ones that have the nut part on the inside(like if you were using an allen wrench, and you put it in the screw)...Im ****ed, Schmucks don't carry them...Bastard auto parts can order them but its $40 for a set of 5...40x4= me not happy

Tire shops are closed, I guess I can hope they are open when I get off work tomorrow afternoon. What are the chances of a tire shop having the special lug nuts I need, and what do you think they will cost me?
