I think the Tires and stuff...sells the rims. The PROBLEM is....finding a cheap place to put them on and off. Most cycle shops...charge about 25-30 bucks each tire.

I got America's tire to do it for $10 each.

I am going to go into harbor freight and try out their tire installer. it is 30 bones and they say it will work. if so will buy that. It will save money in the installation costs. . . and not like these tires need to be balanced. .

Oh ....my bad....you did a full swap. I remember that now....3 bucks...that's insane (obviously given the 30 fee at motorcycle shops). Pretty dumb on their part...look at Roseville Cycle...if it was 10 or 12 bucks even.....I would have done 8 tires too. But instead, I bought 8 new rims cause it wasn't that much more.
