No one takes the time to figure it out. Speaks the same.

I'm just giving DDP some grief no probs but basically most of the words you list are quite different to each other. I'm just curious why some cultures tend to use one and not the other?

If want to unload those #55s locally let me know. I'm going back together right now (stayed at 2.5) and that's about as big as I care to go.

I need to stop posting my sarcasm, it never reads well. I thought you were commenting on proper use of words/spelling, and I was in agreement.

I miss understood , my fault.

^^not sure exactly, since I got the wheels with tires. But I will say they were quite lighter than my 18" oem twists. I bought them used for about 1600 with tires. I'm thinking of powder coating them black.

edit: love the quote..lol
