all cases i just bout a new wheel and new tire mounted.
You bought a new wheel each time. They were all unrepairable. Ouch.

As you know about my track wheels, I recently discovered buying one wheel can be expensive.

It's obvious you have a good attitude.

yep, bought new each time. they were repairable, my WEDS (weds sport wheels) only had a 1/2" scratch on the rear lip, but i knew it was there so i bought new. i use it as a spare.

im a guy that spends 90 bucks on metal valve stems. i get to be picky on cars and garage. everything else in the house i dont get to be so picky.

When I spend money I buy whatever I want too. If you know that a scratch, dent, etc is there and it is bothersome, we deal with it. I tried to repair my bad wheel only to find a stress fracture. I am not tracking that wheel on my car ever.

Also I will not repair it and then make it someone elses future problem either.

I don't even have a bicycle

Fridge is stocked with beer already If I can find a vehicle to use, I will go pick up some additional jack stands (I need another set of tall ones) and the transmission fluid I ordered this afternoon/evening.

I want to see pics when you turn it into your hose reel

If you think you're too lazy to do it, send it to me and I'll show you lazy

No but serious, I might be willing to pay shipping and for a little bit of your time if you just want to be rid of it

You will be the likely owner, as laziness comes naturally to me, and I don't need to be shown.

I even have a box coming Thursday to ship it in.
