The ones with 10 spokes are the stock ones: 18 inch aluminum alloy with P215/45R18 93Y Potenzas. The other ones with less spokes I bought; cheapest ones I could get on tirerack.com basically. I just searched my e-mailbox and found this: + Show Spoiler + 4 18x8 Sport Edition KV5 Silver In Stock $134.00 $536.00 20 Required lugnut for vehicle In Stock N/C N/C 4 Required centering ring In Stock N/C N/C 1 Lug adapter In Stock N/C N/C 4 Sport Edition center cap In Stock N/C N/C 4 Retaining clip for al-p ring + In Stock N/C N/C 4 P215/45ZR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S-C In Stock $123.00 $492.00 4 Mount and Balance (No Charge) N/C N/C 4 315MHz Tire Pressure Sensor In Stock $66.00 $264.00 In summary, I have summer tires on my stock wheels, and all season tires on my other wheels. | ||

I blew one of my tires, got to this point changing it, and had to call a tow truck anyway. He decided he could change the tire himself, and basically set up a long wrench as you did. He started jumping on it. He was easily 250+ lb, and it didn't go. What followed was sitting for an hour while he doggedly hit the wrench with heavy metal things rather than tow the car away. Eventually it came off. He had some interesting things to say about my previous mechanic. | ||
