22 techarts trolled from Craigslist in Austin
Just scored 4 new 22 wheels techart reps with Lexani tires and about 90% tread.....cheaper than new 17 AT.
Summer and winter wheels are now in the stable, my stable is more conservative than most of ya'll
Will follow up with more pics, I just realized my new android phone was taking pics in 3600 by 1900 pixelation.........so couldnt upload them.
too be continued..........
And I am going to pull some mud terrains off some 17 jeep wheels too for the winter wheels
first pic is 22 summer wheel reps
2nd pic are the silver and flat black 17s, *I have 2 sets of them.....

just got them installed, small creaking which I associate with over tightened lugs.
They did come with reinforced new lugs and key.
Speeds are same within 1-2mph, I ran my gps on phone and car while watching the speedo....
Happy Memorial day weekend, heading out to float the river next .

well I really only drive work days about 16 miles residential round trip with 3 miles being on the highway....speeds were the same going from 17 to 22 that was a surprise.
So far it does feel like it can pull slightly to the right. There are no wobbles or jerkiness. Definitely the whirr is louder from the tires. I dont like the fact that the lugs seem to creak and maybe over tightened and not torqued to spec. No rub as of yet but I have not wanted to do a hard tight turn yet to the lugs stop creaking as much. Not sure if its because the new lugs are of a harder material or not.....advice from anyone reading?
I will have more of a report after this weekend on how they drive and if I will get them aligned further, when I take a highway trip.

@slwong......ride has a slight wobble at 70-80 from what I can tell. How ever the sled still does go straight at this speed when i let go.
So its not pulling but feels out of sync.....
I will need to have it looked at by the local shop.......which by the way this uncovered a shop less than a mile from my house, that will allow customer supplied parts, and use Rennlist etc for reference.
That is the biggest win for me being in a new town for a year with no local insight.

Thx for the update. Slight wobble doesn't sound right- definitely get that checked out sooner rather than later.
