Had theses rims less than a year and this is the 4th tire i have had to replace. 1 was because of road construction put a nice cut into it. Sunday night, or early Monday morning my tire blew out on me. Figures because I was talking to my friend of how much I hated the tires and i guess "hate" was the word that triggered it to blow out. Luckily I kept it under control and stopped before any damage occurred. Now it gets to the fun point. 1. No jack 2. No 4 way 3. 2AM in the morning and have school in 5 hrs. Luckily a guy stopped and helped me and i got my Spare on. Now comes more problems. He left before I checked it(he dropped my car while I put my stereo back in my car) 4. Well my spare was flat. 5. Bead on the tire broke on my way to the gas station. Luckily after about 30minutes by some miracle a guy I know who just turboed his neon rolls up. End result 5 minutes later(Proper tools) i was good to go. Got home threw on my old stock rims(painted white) and now have some tread to burn. Trying to decide if I should switch to michellin tires instead.

Hey can you post a pic of your white painted wheels? Are they 7-spoke? I'm thinkin of doin the same. =) I'm gonna paint my winter set in white first (Bridgestone Blizzaks on steelies w/caps) but was thinking about doing hte stock alloys too. What kind of paint and how many layers did you apply?
