Gold star for Rick and wheels.

« on: August 28, 2008, 01:27:51 PM »
I would like to give Rick a big gold star for all the work he has gone through with my Beetle. I had him put 4 new tires on his opening day. Well everything was great untill i walked out yesterday and 2 of them were flat and one was half flat. I filled them back up and took it back today. Well it seems that they did not want to hold on the bead. So i now have my stock wheels back on Roadkill. So if any one you know wants 4 black 8 spoke empie wheels with spinners just pm me and we can work out the price.

I had them for a year and on 2 different cars never a problem. Maybe some sort of weird tire compatability problem? Or.....yep your cursed!
