About two weeks ago I posted that I was thinking about checking rims as luggage from Utah to NC. Well I am happy to say that after a week of being lost all 4 rims and tires made it safe to NC. I checked 3 with the airline and sent one UPS and the airline lost all my luggage for a week. What a mess. It was during all that bad weather in Chicago but Monday night my rims thru United were finally found and the one thru UPS got here today. It will be nice to have my rims back on. I don't know what it is but having rims on a car just make me feel better about it. I guess I am shallow or something.

 

Nice post some pics later

 

That reminds me of the time I debated whether to bring home a Budget Y-pipe as carry-on from Toronto!

 

Sounded like you were smuggling rims in luggages. Did the airlines know that there is a rim in each luggage?

 

If they didnt know you were shipping that as luggage it may have shocked, when it almost made the metal detector explode. Then they had to check it for drugs/bombs/ etc.

Did you do it?

 

Yeah I decleared that they were rims and I got funny looks but they did it anyways. I barely made the weight though. The guy who checked them just asked if they were really only 50 lbs, which they were, so he checked them on through.

 

I know EXACTLY what you mean

 

haha taking rims as carry on. overhead compartment oh what fun it is

 

Think the idea is that he checked 'em...

 

yeah...dont think they would allow him to carry a rim on...kinda makes me think of meet the parents, "we will store it down below"

 

I could use some new rims. I am useing stock 99 rims right now.

 

i understand i was just saying that it would be funny if you think about it like that
