Initially it sounded like a good deal... then I thought it through. It's going to take me a better part of a day to shuttle wheels and tires from his place to Olathe Toyota (provided they will do it; the last few places I have taken tires to get mounted didn't want anything to do with it unless it was their tire, and forget about it if it was "used"... even if these are new tires, they are still on a set of wheels, a dealership is gonna consider them "used"), then I gotta run them back to his place. I can't imagine what a stealership charges for mounting and balancing these days, but I assume it is north of $30.00 per tire. Then, what happens if Olathe does a s***ty job and tornadoalleycruiser (Erik, is it?) isn't happy with the balance... then what? No thanks. (Never mind the scavenger hunt I will have to do just to find your phone number. I'm looking to get a TLCA membership, but its gonna be at least "2 to 7 weeks" before my first copy to arrives.) Don't get me wrong, I am not looking for free wheels, I am willing to pay reasonable money for wheels. I am not willing to spend a day, $150.00+, and then possibly be on someone's s*** list for a lousy balance job. I'm really not trying to be an arse here, I am just looking for a nice simple: I give you money, you give me wheels, 10 minute transaction. *zips up flame suit* So I refer back to my previous statement: No disrespect here... This is turning out to be more of a pain than I was looking for. Sorry to waste your time.
