    if you decide to go that route, sell them separately. ask linwood. he made a good bit off his rims and tires by selling separate. but i personally like the off road wheels more than the sports.

    I know two now but I've only worked with one guy. While I was wrenching down my jack on the modded rack at lowes the other guy walked up and introduced himself.
    Eddie 757-660-0881 - Ground Pounder Fab. I'll vouch for him. He's got metal, tools and a CNC Plasma table. His welds are 8/10 in my opinion and he cares a lot about his work. He's much more familiar with heeps, but he's off for exodus and is available for work!! Tell him Ben the cop sent ya!
    You can shoot him an email with a pic of what your looking at groundpounderfab@verizon.net

    Larry 757-303-1571 - not vouching just aware of his existence

    I lucked out and got $700 for mine with sensors in them. But I wanted them gone fast. If you have the place to store them and take your time you can make more in the end but I thought the tower of tires was a tacky coffee table...

    Thanks, I think :confused:
    Maybe I should apply for that state trooper job and spread the love :spy:

    I don't have any of my certifications anymore... But I welded for quite a few years. Year in high school, year in college, and 2 years as a boilermaker. If you can get the correct MIG welder to support the thickness of the metal, plus all the gas, wire, etc needed for a bigger job like this... I can help.
