The Good, the bad and the ugly. the story of my wheels.

Well the good news is they're at the tire shop. The bad news is I haven't seen then in person. The ugly: they made the wrong width fronts. 9.5 vs 8.5.

At least it's not summer wheel time for another couple of months here. Hopefully they're fixed in time for May long weekend.

I'll post pics once I get home and can resize the pictures

Yeah.....that ain't going to fit without a fair bit of work They do look good though!
Best of luck getting the correct replacement in time mate, I know how frustrating the wait can be.

I think mine and the wife's winters came in on the same shipment (18" XD9's). Better get some pics and get them up for sale as well

Going with a lip... Should look really good, especially with your drop! Those lip wheels will complement each other...you will be rolling Gangsta style...

Mark said he's gonna ask Work to put an extreme rush on the fix. I can't see it being too hard to find a set of barrels and squeeze them together. The shipping is the longest part

As it's their fault, get Work to ship by air
Are they just going to send new wheels as an exchange, ship new barrels/lips to Mark to make good, or are you having to send them back first for them to fix?

NO idea yet, Mark has to call them tonight. We're hoping they send Mark barrels so he can just swap the centres in house. Most likely, they're going to use the last 2 centres and make a complete new assembly then ship it.
