I swear to God, this car has done everything possible to stop me from putting the Keystone wheels I bought on it.
First, I bought a set that was JUST BARELY too deep of an offset in the rear. Fair enough, my fault. 1/2" less offset and they would've been cool. Not to mention that since I was going to need tires, I took them to Tires Plus (I have an account there) and the tire monkeys had no effing idea what a unilug wheel was. I had to argue with the guy that "the lug holes are SUPPOSED to be like that, no I did not drill them out to fit a different size bolt pattern, yes the wheels actually came like that, they use a shanked lug nut..." etc.
So then I get a set that is the RIGHT offset. I went to Chicago and bought a SECOND set of Keystone mags. These even came with two decent tires (score, I was going to need 2 tires). And... I have the wrong washers. I got the center-holed washers, I need the offset-drilled ones. Son of a bitch.
