Default Well, the tire mount and balance at Walmart seems to have gone ok. lol, I couldn't resist.

$38.50 out the door. They have a Snap-On tire machine and a Corghi balancer. The CLK wheels weren't scratched more than they already had been, so the guy didn't clink them around, and it rode smooth up to 75. Thanks for the tip, Audi Junkie. I'll gradually increase speed on them.

I put 1 of each set of my wheels/tires on the mail scale at work. Pretty accurate, within 0.5 lbs.
Flik FTD 17x8 w/ 225/45 Toyo Proxes 4 - 44.5 lbs (1,000 mile)
OEM 15" A4 w/ 205/60 Kumho Solus K16 - 41 lbs (21,500 miles)
98-99 CLK320 16x7 w/ 225/50 Toyo Proxes 4 - 38 lbs (new tires)

I swear, those CLK wheels were the easiest to put on the car yet. Needless to say, I can't wait to go ripping around this weekend. Now I need to find blank 75mm center caps. Anybody know a place? I've Googled a bit and can't find blank caps. I discovered the high speed fan comes on by itself without the AC on. I should have known that.

If WalMart treats their employees like ****, that's none of your business. Is it?
