So I wake up this morning to go to work and notice my left rear tire is flat..

I am like great.. Now I gotta go put air in it and hope that I can get to work and then get it patched after work. I put air and get to work just fine. Through out the day I check the air pressure and notice that I am loosing air (obviously since there is a leak somewhere in the tire)

So after work I follow a buddy out to 30 and Carrol avenue.. The freakin hood *** place of south dallas but they are cheap and do decent work..

I get the tire off he puts the tire and the wheel in the bucket O' water and he says "Amigo.. You have a cracked rim".. I look at him and say "you have got to be kidding my friend"

Sure enough there is a crack in the wheel and that is causing me to loose air. Well thank goodness I have those two extra rims that I had in the front of my car that are the same size as the rears.. 20x10.5.. So I am thinkin woot!!!

NOW.. my problem is I had to put that tire and wheel back on my car which is shot because of the horrid camber wear I had in the front and pray that I can make it back to the slums of Dallas to get it swapped..


Does anyone happen to know a close by place that can swap a tire onto a wheel for me so I don't have to go back into the hood? And also will charge me a decent price. Discount tire charges 350 bucks if you don't buy tires from them to mount..

FML AND THESE WHEELS!!!

 

When I got my tires put on I got them done at NTB. They only charged me like 15 to mount and balance each tire. Hope that helps man. Sorry to hear about your rim..

 

You didn't buy tires from them though right?

 

Do you have the wheel and tire off the car? I can run it into work to mount...

 

Beltline and First st. In Garland will b like 10 bux. No need for a long drive jus to swap out a tire

 

well I have the wheel that I need to use on a shot tire on the car right now because I didn't wanna roll around tomorrow on a cracked rim and because I work tomorrow until 630.. The cracked rim and good tire are in my trunk.. so basically I need to swap them.. Put good rim that is on the car on the good tire in the trunk.

 

Sheit happens blake. You may have hit a pothole or something ever so slight or just the wrong way and got a crack. Like you said you have 2 spares. Im sure either wheels of america or wheel technologies will be able to fix the cracked rim. Just get tire swapped over to the good wheel and ur good to go

 

no I didnt buy tires from them
