The Pzeros are not directional, just move them around

Bet you went to a chop shop that doesn't know tires, wheels or heck even 2+2=4. Find yourself a nice local indie shop for the future.

You have to be careful and babysit them as they put tires on your wheels.

I think it's your car's way of saying "Paint my center caps".

but the thing is that i got it done at a very respectable place. it's not like it was a bunch of morons that work there, they knew what they were doing, or at least i think so, but they just messed up, but it still pisses me off

and leave my center caps alone, haha

Just wernt paying attention....no biggy.

One tiem I bought new tires, went out to my car after they were done and my old ones were still on it, and they claimed I stole the new ones...yea, in the 2 minutes it took me to walk from your door, to my car, and back in again....Give me a break.

spokes point forwards (like the front)....also some of the left side wheels have an L near the valve stem
