Go with the granite alloys in 18". That would rock.

That will look good. When are you looking at making the switch?

Will buy the rims this june when I know I have the spare funds in the bank. Then just a matter of saving for the tires and new tpms sensors.

Just did the check and looks to be 805.04 for 4 rims, tpms sensors and matching valve stems. That includes shipping.

The rubber will be the most expensive part of swwapping it out. looking at over a grand just for 4 tires. And I will have to figure out swapping the spare as well.

I love getting a call, running halfway to the station, then getting disregarded

Oh well.

It happens alot Devin. We have the same issue in my department. I will dispatch an officer to a call for service and halfway to the call the person calls back and doesnt need us there anymore.

Yeah, just part of the deal, I guess. They're calling for snow late tonight and early tomorrow morning, so I'll probably be busy if I'm not working. It would be nice if we had bunks at the station; I'd spend the night tonight.

Same call for snow here Devin. I may or may not get called in tomorrow. Depends on if people can get in. If not I might have to go in.

How do they issue a disregard?

That would have been your first call right?

The dispatcher well just say something like "all company 15 units disregard that last call". I could have gotten credit for running the call, but didn't feel like sitting around the station. I did get credit for that call yesterday morning. Only have to run 10%.
