I, at present, own 4 full sets of wheels and tires, and 1 set without tires. For no reason what-so-ever, I have been eyeballin' some FN1 R-C's.Not just eyeballing, pricing, checking availability, you know pretty much the steps one would take when preparing for a big purchase.I am looking at the gloss black 17x9 +15 and 17x10 +35. I will probably find myself at Discount Tire on Monday under the premise of getting my air pressure checked or tires rotated or some such nonsense.While waiting at the counter, since there is nothing to do really, I will ask about the wheels, (I already know what the status is) and end up ordering a pair. Well of course, I will have 2 coming in, so I may as well order the other 2 right?Do I need help?Do any of you need 5 lug wheels?

I have 4 sets including TE37 and work equip. Women collect shoes, men collect shoes for their car.

^^^Wait, that is some kind of pschology trick right? Even if I get one more set, you will still have more?Is that what you are saying? 'Cause I'll do it man!

(Yokota secretly inspires me, though I wont say it out loud)

Well somewhere in your many wheel hunts if you come across 6 Alcoa 22x10's let me know. My Peterbilt could use some bling.Preferably the polished aluminum 5 holes.

lol. i have four sets of wheels for my eclipse and i'm eyeballing a fifth. what's funny is that i've had the oem wheels on the car for the past 6 months.

when my wife asked me what the purpose was for all the wheels in the garage, my response was "the same reason for all the shoes in your closet."

two sets. the originals that i drove home in on the bald tires, and my new ones that i have no idea what kind they are, but i got them for 140 bucks with rubber. a lot of rubber. that was a good day for me. didnt have to pay for tires to get mounted, and paid less for tires and rims (tires have about 4 mm of rubber left till legally bald, according to the DOT) than for a brand new set of tires.
