    warped has to do with excessive heat....u mean bent rim?

    Warp the other three wheels in exactly the same place. Problem solved. Later, QD.

    looking round and being round are two totally different things.

    Quit buying Motegi wheels from Pep Boys. :P

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.
