    How was the tacoma pulling the car+ trailer? Do those Uhaul trailers have trailer brakes? Your s2k weights about as much as my mustang and I am interested in towing it. It sounds like you were just doing an in town tow. Would you feel ok towing on the interstate for an hour or two?

    towed it for about an hour, uhaul trailer works great and the tacoma tows it just fine. The trailer has surge brakes so that's a good thing too

    17" Volk Racing CE28n in gunmetal grey from the factory. They normally come in silver, gold or bronze but for a few extra bucks they do custom colors. It was $40 a wheel at the time.
