Huh. Well that sux. That was my first animated sig. Not that it had blingin' animation, but I thought it was cool. What if you created a new account - and then TRIZ or someone transferred all your stats, PMs, etc..., over, deleted your current account, and then renamed the new one as Alpha 5 again? Kind of like rebuilding your profile on the comp systems at work.

It appears that some accounts, do to the merger almost a year ago, have restrictions and some do not. I just happened to be a lucky one. All new account have a 28k sig limit.

I just ordered my tires.

Called Discounttiredirect and told them the price from the other guy. They matched it and threw in the Centric rings. I love Discount tire direct. lol.

Tires are Nitto Neo gens 225 X 45 X 17. They should be here next week some time.
I can't wait. I hope they do not rub.

Edit---
Figured I should share the price.

all four shipped with the rings $367.00

Call:
800-385-3322
use ext 1854 (Danny)
Tell him that Matt in Oklahoma sent you.

Well I have 2 of my 4 tires. I will be mounting them just as soon as UPS delivers the other 2. (Why they had to separate the two packages is beyond me.)

Well here are the tires stacked in the living room. They are setting next to the Konig Holes they will be mounted on soon.



A pic of the rims stacked and waiting for the new tires.


A pic of the Old tire side wall


A side by side comparo of the new vs the old tire.


The old tire width 7"


The new tire width almost 8.5"


Suggested rims width for the Nittos 7", PERFECT!


New tires weigh 22lb's


Old tires with rims weigh 35lb's


My fat ass weighs 248


For fun I decided, why not weigh some other shit. So....

2 Memphis 12's in a MDF box


2 Fosgate DVC 15's in a MDF box.


1 10 in a little MDF box
