Thems dad blamed flat tires!

After having my first flat, (And what a pain in the butt it was) I went to the local Wal Martinez store and purchaced a 2 ton hydrolic jac. This makes changing flats much easier

Jake,

I didn't know about the stock style 20's! I'll have to search for that. That could be an option. Any links? The package deal sounds like the way to go.

I was looking at Metro Wheels to do the mounting for the 18's with a drop ship from tire rack. I agree about Butler. I will contact Gran Turismo and find out what options exist.

Thanks!

Gran Turismo East is at 3306 Shallowford Rd. NE, in Chamblee. Ask for Harris or Jeff.

Yo Bo II the 2 sources I know about

are wheel replicas.com $949 set of 4 silver 20's,$1449 chrome
ph 713-306-8616. the other is performance wheel.com 909-825-5242 that are much higher. Don't have any first hand knowledge of quality & service. Might want to post about "long ter-m performance of 20" replicas" or something, plus these sources or others. BTW these wheels come with "lightning" bolts on center caps not SVT, but someone has mentioned a source for "SVT" stickers if you want to post. Dan the Lightningrod has a wealth on info on these trucks, including Gran turisimo. Maybe we need to pickle his head in alchohol (redeundant) or wait that's formaldyhyde!

Thanks Jake and Dan,

Those wheels are very nice! Chrome 20's and new rubber looks great !$$!

What tires go best on 20's? Tire rack didn't have many choices.

I'll give Gran Turismo a call this week and check them out.

If I stick with my stock 18's, I'll just drop ship from Tire rack to Metro wheels (very close to me; it's on So. Cobb). I'm calling C&D in Mobile to see what they can do on Eagle F1s too.

BTW, Tire rack raised the Eagle F1s from $189 to $199 today

Bo
