Default Looky what i found!
So i was cleaning my wheels today when I found this.....



the tire holds air but i need new tires, wondering if the shop will even put new tires on it with a crack just smaller than the thickness of my fingernail lol

hmmm, you would have to take the tire off and see if the crack makes it back past the bead. It might leak...or it might not lol

I bet i could get away with it but I'd probably be best off getting a new rim rather than have it give way on a launch and total the car, I found a guy asking for 325 shipped for two rears and possibly only a little more with radials included and I'll see where that goes because I still have some life left on my fronts

There is a little bit of truth there.
