Got 5 wheels, four 40% tires and one brand new tire for $150

wiped the dust off this one and took a quick pic.

Probably have to run spacers. These are half inch wider, but have a +45 offset compared to zero offset.

These are for my Chevy G20 van, which has a 5x5 bolt pattern like the new wrangler.

There are good looking 17’ wheels, but they all look better in 18’s. I think 17s look really good with meaty tires, but it also depends on color combo, design etc.

Got the grand poobah 575 watt Kitchenaid. Can't wait to play with it. I want the meat grinder, sausage stuffer, and pasta maker attachments.

And I decided no TV now. I need a new tough shed first so I can get everything non-car out of my garage, and start making the garage my auto shop.

I suggest you build one of these on your back 40, for your auto shop, leave your garage for parking the vehicles -

Def looks better in 18’s. Just performance wise, 17x8 is efficient enough for daily performance w stock-ish power. Just biggest problem w 17’s or 17x8 w flushed offset is, it’s so damn hard to find ones w the design that I like that fit the spec. 9 out of 10 times, they’re 17x9... which is fine, but daily I want 225x45 & not 245 or 255 width tires.

The guy had three new jeeps at his house. I think that they are legit.

Didn't see one in the add? I don't expect any rollovers while baking. Maybe some popovers.

Tempting, but probably more than I want to spend.

Hey, it's a business expense for our new business venture. All of your vehicles will become company vehicles and they must have a place for them to be maintained -

Tax write off - get it - we shouldn't launder ALL the money we rake in -

Finished my butter. Dam it is good. A little buttermilk culture and letting the cream ripped for a day on the counter really makes for some good butter.

Now for the bread.
