Had an idea of rim I wanted. So I look for tires to fit. Only one website says tires availablel for this rim. - - - ok lets order - - oh wait Im sorry they are comimg from china and they will 6 weeks or so out.
Ok lets change the rim - it will require tire changes but thats ok the others took to long. New Rims are KMC 820SS in Black. Websites show them and price them. Found tires to fit them. Make some calls the wheels are now coming from China and about 6 or so weeks delayed.
OK I have another choice but have not called on availablity, costs, or checked on tires and available.
How long could that take, right.
These are RPM wheels R505 Black/Chrome Lip offset 20, 20x8.5, 5x115
Backs are R505 Black/Chrome Lip offset 30, offset 20x10, 5x115.

I'll keep u posted. In the mean time we use the wifes Saturn for everything. My wearbars are deeper then my treads and 2 wheels have plugs in them.
I'll think about it while I lay in soak city, cedar point tomorrow.

The tires were Hankook and the wheels I was looking to get were KMC.
