I am budget conscience. I just do not see dropping $500 each for rubber. The tax on owners of old cars is wrong. We should be allowed access to consumables at a reasonable price. There is no need for dropping monster cash to get simple enough tires, when the ricer boys are tossing five figures to put rubber bands on trash can lid size rims. Classic center Tom tells me to purchase his over priced rims so that I can use 15" tires. If I wanted to make the car into a hoopty, I could just hit any low rent wheel shop. Might as well get some LEDs for under the body, maybe a banging stereo with DVD player pop up screen and some 4500 watt bass boosters. Swap out the muffler for a coffee can system and some Thrush glaspacks. Then change the door hinges to Lambos, find a HID kit, maybe bull bars, and cut the springs to lower it.
