Hey Luke, I just wanted to let you know I love what you guys are doing with the site. I mean, now we can get the specs for all the tires w/o going to each individual manufactuer's site and reading them, or going to a spec sheet of that model line tire. Only recommendation I have is to see if you can add a column for how much they weigh.

As far as the Wheels go. Well I love the new site, cause its much quicker to load then the Wheel Rack. However I do miss the fact that it doesn't show the optional wider rear sized wheels available. I would also love to see, the weight and offset of each wheel, and wether they are multi-peice or not (especailly since some of the newer designs have the rivet to make them appear as 2-piece). More Info, means more informed decisions.

Thanks again for all the help.

We will never post weight issues on wheels or tires on our web site because many people do not understand that a lighter tire or wheel in many cases does not have the proper load carrying capacity and think that anything will work for any vehicle. So, If they see "light weight" that's what they want even if it creates a dangerous situation. As far as, offsets the reason they won't appear is because many people do not understand what incorrct offsets do to suspension geometry, part wear and vehicle handling. That's why the web site only shows wheels that fit a vehicle properly.
Thanks for your input
