Owned by a 4x4 on the freeway
I pounded on the wheel for about 1/2 hour. I gave up and removed the old drag radials on the back and replaced with a set of regular 295/45/18 nitto. I stuck those on the front and stuck my Hoosiers on the back. I have to play tonight! I'll figure out something with the wheel. It is either buy a pair of 555r's and two more 18x9.5's or get another 18x8 and hope the tire isn't damaged. I'm leaning towards the two new wheels route and saving the good 18x8 as a spare.
this morning i was half asleep driving to work in the rain, and i smacked and destoryed both passenger side tires and rims. it sucked to say the least. sorry i forgot to take a picture befor i took it in. i guess it was better than having to change a tire though
Easter, a rubber mallet will just wear you out...use a loaded plastic mallet, or any regular hammer with a piece of wood. A six inch piece of 1" dowel will let you focus the force right where you want it, and takes away the chance of a schwing and a miss...
Easter you from Tenn.? The reason im asking is because there was a big ol 4x4 laying in the middle of I88 yesterday. Also you wouldnt be talking about the vettes that are coming to St. Charles are you? If your not from Ill. this is to weird....
Yes, I'm from Nashville. This piece of wood was on I-24.
I've gotta go play with some vettes now. Yesterday no one wanted to play. Today we'll see. Half are driven by old people and the other half don't want to get bug crap on their zaino'd finish so they won't go over 50-60mph.

That 4x4 has no chance against me on the freeway. I'm trapping 95 mph in the eighth mile right now and 119 in the quarter w/o my nitrous.
