****, Cheap my ***. My Rain/Wet Race Tires for my NASA SU Car are only +40$ more then what Im paying for these. At least Rolling Rubber will replace them for free if they blow out. Like he did on my Truck Tires


EDIT: Since I cant seem to find a Curb Rash Repair Write up. When I repair the curb rash on my rims this spring (Like that when I got them) Ill post pics and a small write up.
