The Wheels have been replaced!

[philld]

Okay, so about 14 months ago I met a ridiculous pot hole! It did crack the rim on my 2016 Reserve (19")

I managed to find a shop that was able to repair it (arch weld) which held up better than I thought it would. 

I was returning from a 3000 mile adventure recently and noticed the dreaded low tire pressure warning. 

900 miles from home, I stopped by a local discount tire shop and the tech said that no leaks were found.

Of course around 80 miles out it happened again. I did use the included green slime tire repair and it slowed 

the warnings down by approximately 25-30 miles. I knew that my time was up with the 19 wheels because when 

I initially had the pot hole incident I began searching for a replacement and 19" wheels are few and far between for the most part.

I did shell out $425 for one from an e-bay dealer and what do you know was cracked too. They promptly refunded my money. 

So, I've opted for the ever popular 18" which offer plenty of style options at a reasonable choice. I also mated the wheels with a set of Toyo Extensa HP II (225/50-18)

and they seem to offer a softer and quieter ride, and are a wlecome to change to the classic silver that seem to be on 90% of most cars.

The speedometer/GPS are in sync as well with the new size!  Here are the results.
