Sorry but I need to vent about this somewhere :P
I'm searching for 16' rims to replace the stockers on my car. I want 16's for several reasons:
1) I can re-use the rubber I have now (Pirelli P6's with barely 20,000km on em)
2) No storage hassles trying to keep the 16's for winter (Not to mention the hassle for me of switching over)
3) Try to find all season rubber at 17' and larger, either you're paying through the nasal cavity or nothing is available.
Do you think any of the tire places I've gone to listen to me when I tell them I want 16' rims that fit a Focus? No they keep trying to upsell me on "packages" of rims & rubber 17's & 18's, trying to convince me that storing the 16's & rubber won't be a problem during the summer months <_<
When did stores start thinking they could tell the customer what they *should* buy instead of helping them buy what they *want* :angry:
