Chris;
Whoa! What you didn't say, Chris, is at least as interesting to me as what you
DID say! "The first one (Panasports or wheel weights?) that they sold you
didn't have the right offset." Did you get something other than zero offset? I
wasn't aware that Panasports for TR's came in anything other than zero offset.
So what happened did you dismount everything, return the "wrong offset" ones
and get new wheels? Were they the 16" Panasports?
