The LS1 saga continues

I have been collecting parts for my 98 LS1 Trans-am for awhile now so that I can fix it long enough to throw it on ebay.

I thought I was ready to go. I have a rebuilt tranny and a y-pipe with cats so It will pass emissions. All that needs to be done is for the stuff to get put in. My buddy Randy is doing me a huge favor and started putting them in for me today.

Last Friday I had my brother take the car to the tire shop to have the Blizzacks taken off and 2 used Kuhmo's from last year put on and 2 new ones that I had them order me.

So I stop over to Randys and see how its going, I start looking at the tires and then notice the wheels are CRACKED! WHAT THE ****! Can anything just not get messed up on this car for 1 week!!!

How in the world did they manage to do this to 3 of the 4 rims. Look at this pics.

This

Car

Sucks

***

I can't believe 3 out of the 4 look like this. :uzi: :uzi:

Obviously I can't sell this POS with the wheels like this. They are chrome and its hard to tell from the pics but the wheels looked cracked, not just chrome coming off or whatever.

So now I have to deal with the tire place, I'm sure that it going to be a "We didn't do that" type of thing.

I HATE this car and it knows it.

Sweet! Thanks man. I am going to see if I can get Townfair tire to pickup the cost and do a free install. Where is hudson? Is that down 495?

BTW are those the 5-star wheels? Look kinda like the T/A?

Thanks!

I wish my LS1 would burn to the ground, someone steal it or total it.

I would throw the biggest party with free beer and strippers and invite everyone in this section to take a free sledge hammer whack at whatever was left of the POS
