$5,900 gets you FOUR left side wheels!

[J]

LMAO, never seen that before. I'm tempted to call and tell them they are crazy!

Ya...so it has 69k miles on it. Whatever. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/ctd/2154097942.html

J,look at it this way....At least two of his wheels will be pointing in the right direction whether he's going forward or backward. :wink:

 

[steve]

lol

 

[ghost2]

Only in the OC

Maybe they need to recoup some of their money for all of the peanut butter that's all over the inside!

 

[calisonic]

Are those factory door panels? If so no offense, but they are ugly.

 

[psychostang]

$5900, yea good luck with that! That car needs a complete repaint and interior re-dye, to another color.

 

[Be2lose]

LOL. What happened to make them buy Two new rims.

OOOPS! I hit a curb, wish I had that darn Traction Control.

 

[98mark8lsc]

Maybe they were delivering boxes of peanut butter somewhere when they hit the curb, and it all exploded all over the interior...

 

[Sierra3]

hahaha

hahaha

How come everyone hates peanut butter interior? hah not that i like it either, but im just wondering why the strong backpeddling from it? I like the black and light grey interiors and ivory.

Those tires are a no no for our cars. Just sayin....

I'm right there with you on the tires, lmao! AND the chrome fender flares.

 

[ghost2]

Hold it...how did they do that with the wheels? Are these wheels left only and right side only? ie you can't rotate the tires on this model?

 

[Be2lose]

Correct.

 

[ghost2]

Correct.

Didn't know that. So it's front to back and back to front same side and that's it? Good to know since I have these wheels and have not rotated yet. Thanks, learned something new, even on a joke thread.

If you posted a photo of your car with the wheels on the wrong side, we would have made fun of your car too.

We always do that.

It's a common mistake for new Mark VIII owners, and it's a common mistake at idiot tire shops that rotate tires, or put directional tires on the wrong direction wheels.

Well, I'm new but now I will not make that mistake...............which would really suck if you mounted directional tires. I didn't see anything about that in my leather bound owners manual [ which also contains the original yellow congratulations card for the factory installed sunroof/moonroof] Wheeeeew.

 

[J]

Haha....well atleast someone learned something from this thread. Anyone called the dealer yet?! :wave:

 

[BlackIceLSC]

peanut butter interior?
Mayonnaise and Mustard tires

this car is a rolling food cupboard.


as for the wheels...the T-Birds had 4 identical wheels...so I suppose it's not uncommon for people to NOT know.

sadly, dealerships don't know either.
I remember when my GF took my 94 to her work(Dealer) to install her chrome 10-spokes on to my 94 WITH directional tires.

she came home all proud to show me how nice my car looked with the 10 spokes.
I almost threw up with disgust.
They managed to get all the R/S on the left, and all the L/S on the right.
But they got the tires on the correct sides(directional).

morons.

they got to do it ALL over again for free. dismount/re-mount and balance ALL 4 due to their ignorance.
They denied it at first...until I pointed out that each wheel is actually marked L and R.

so going to a "dealer" never guarantee's accuracy and correctness. In fact, it is often less likely in both cases.
