btw, 789 shipped, mounted, lugs, stems, and chrome caps. i know it was a bit, but id pay it again, and the co. was good to me.
hey fuji
just wondering, did they charge you shipping and tax too, cause you are in wisconsin,,,,,
so that $789 for 15" right ? and what kind of tire you got
thanks

shipping was like 25, tax was 50 i think. my total wiht both of that was 789 im almost certain. i would have drove up there to get em, but i think many of you saw my tires and knew why i didnt make that trip.

Anyone got pics of the steel grey wheel. So far the Miata was Silver not steel grey and the red car was gunmetal. Please someone buy the color wheel and present the pic.

i was thinkin about the falken 512 all season... but they are kinda epxneisve ($80 a tire)

my BF goodrich touring t/a's are pretty good in snow.. they are only "performance" not "high" performance

so who knows. anyone know of a cheap place to buy falkens?
dude, when it snows in my area, they use salt and cinders on the road, and believe me dude, salt can mess up everything on your car (rims, body panels, lights). I take my rims off every winter and put my stock steelies with snow tires back on.

im in the same sitch, people like bakeoff are lucky, salt is illegal in minnesota, they have some other product thats a lot more expensive but not corrosive. We get sand and salt here on the roads, and thats the equivalant to running a belt sander along the bottom of your car.

what is cinders?

they -sometimes- salt and sand

i dunno about you guys but DC has some of the most unpredictable weather... they expect snow 'flurries' and we get 6 inchs. our snow plows are never prepared enuff cuz its out of their control...

one time last year they expected just a little sleet. we got about 1/2 inch of freezing rain. and school was not closed (college that is)... sucked i almost cracekd my head open walking
