Rak (dude),
I hope you are not suggesting that the tires on my car somehow shrunk when transferred from the factory wheels to the new ones and are no longer 18's and 19's?
If, infact, you are referring to space around the wheels, well then we are on the same track. That's exactly what i don't care for either.
Anyway, seems the rookie that dealt with my wheels in the first go around was, infact, less than capable in reading the balancing machine. Took it back Saturday afternoon, they drove me right in the bay, i stood with them as they spun the wheels and weighted them...and they are fine now. Took it out kicked it up to 100...smooth as silk, just like it always has been.
The payment for the front end still has to happen, but at least i'm moving again. Honestly, NTB Germantown took care of the issue well all around.
