To step up to five lug front hubs, i think its as "simple" as purchasing a new/used front hub from a "new" model LT or SS. The "new" ones i speak of already wear the 5 lug pattern; just in the start of 07 they finished using up the old 4 lug hubs.

I am at PCS Rocanville Division, just 25mins north of Moosomin. The safest and most technologically advanced mine in NORTH AMERICA!

We got more dust lol sorry I just found this post I work at PCS Lanigan. Good luck with negotiations

Yea, but we can't negotiate when we're laid off... we get another month off in one week. But supposedly the second half the year looks good.

I dunno, after you factor in having to get a realignment and fix your front end from driving over the shitty pounded out pothole to speedbump iced up stoon streets esp on 18" rubber, exposing your car to cold starts repeatedly, road salt and spinning the **** out of your car cause your drivin on summer rubber . All that **** catches up with ya.

Yeah, that's just luck so far bud. Need to get yourself some winters. You have no way of panic stopping at all, and you can easily spin out on bad days. It only takes 1 second - we have 2 recent totalled cars, and they were probably as good or more experienced drivers than yourself.

On a plus note, the need for winter tires will soon be gone as spring fights its way in.

both cars were running summer tires and i think i have seen the guy with the blue one before, and i do believe he is a high school kid too, so he might not have much more experience than colby

I got this beater for approx half of what rims and rubber cost for my Saturn. RWD, 2000 pounds, steel bumpers and classic plates. Way cheaper then fixing all the parts that wear out due to harsh winters.

Plus it's ****** rad

I think i've put on a few thousand.
The tranny in the truck took a poo, so I've had to drive the car for a while... and seeing as it's 50km each way, everyday.... it doesn't take long to rack up the km's.
At least it's all highway...

So... in the odd event someone had the same brainwave as me, and was wondering what our cars look like with SKY Redline Chrome rims... this is it.
Not quite how i thought it would look. Not my cup of tea anyway... Colby, new summer rims for you perhaps?
