It's finally time for new tires after 79k on my tired (no pun intended) old. F 710s. Thought what the heck my as well upgrade wheels too. Going to a 17" from my 1lt 16". Having Sears do it since I got a payment plan with their card. Here's the wheels and tires I'm going with.

They'll have to replace the wheels. They should've used the plastic foot for the machine.

Yeah was trying to keep a positive attitude with them and watch their work. The problem today with these alloys is you look at them the wrong way and they scratch.

Still, I've never scratched a wheel while mounting them and balancing them. Just need to be careful

Back on lift now trying to rub out scratches. Probably wasting both of ours time.

Look at what technicians Sears hire. Found this posted on window while waiting for them to rectify their F up on my new wheels.

Yeah. That's a joke that went around on social media. Didn't realize some cool cat manager would actually print it

Wish we had that sign. Our manager has to tell customers that same stuff individually. Lol

Those rims look good. Whered u get them from? I've been racking my brain trying to find decent rims that don't break the bank with this stupid bolt pattern.

I got them from Sears but highly suggest you find them elsewhere. Im still working on getting new undamaged wheels from them. Ive seen them from $100-$150 a wheel. I did sears for the interest free program. I saw them on Amazon I think for the best price.
