Somebody (I think Bob & *****) were talking about the difficulty of finding nice wheels in the 5 on 5.5 (139.7) pattern. I have used this website before, bought 4 wheel & tire combo from them about 10 years ago. They have a pretty good selection, in fact for me just searching for 15x8 wheels with 5 x 139.7 pattern it came up with 182 hits. Checking for 15x10 I had 164 hits.

I'm thinking of put a set of rims and tires on the old F100, I really like the Baja 172 wheels, I was thinking 15x8 on the front, and 15x10 on the back. Then staying with stock size tires on the front (235/75-15) and maybe 255/70-15 on the rear. I like the Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires, and also the General Grabber AT2 tires. But I've never owned a set of either so I don't know how good they are.

Since we had some BBQ last night, and it's nice out today, it's country style pork ribs for dinner here this evening.

DR finally signed off on letting dad move to the rehab center.. from the way they describe it they made it sound like a Military Boot Camp where your instructors are Mr. T., Gunnery Sgt R. Lee Ermey or a pissed off Bernadette from Big Bang Theory...

Just be there for him, and let the fits that he's gonna have go in one ear, and out the other.

mom said they got him moved into the strictest Rehab center there.. the others he would be having rehab for the next 3-6 months.. this one they said is more like a military boot camp with the meanest drill instructors available.. said they typically turn patients out in 20days - 1.5 months.

How many miles on bike?
Does he know you're only asking 900$
His bike is priced to sell.
Seems a little fishy. Check it out thoroughly. Watch for clutch chudder. Or clunky shifting.
Who knows though might be a good deal.
