Finally, after a lot of money and time
.....oh yea...finally got my tires on my car (well I actually took them off after I fitted them). They look way beter in person also!!
Miss the UPS guy by 5 seconds yesterday, I saw him pull away when I got home and couldn't find him.
Got the wheels last night and they are stamped 5x100.....but they are 5x112.
The lugnuts that came with them were 12mm diameter versus required 14mm diameter....but Al at Chicago Performance Tuning gave me some old ones that he had sitting around and Luke at the tirerack has new ones on their way.
Al's balance machine started going South after he balanced the first two wheels, so I have to pick them up later.

<b>Question</b>: My rear pads have that much left on them, which is probably about 1/2 thickness or a little less. My front pads are about 1/2 original thickness.
Do you think I can make it through an advanced driver's day, Saturday and probably only half of Sunday? I think I'll be heading home in the early afternoon......
