These slicks are stickier than tape on the neighbor'* cat. Little bastard wouldn't leave my garage. He changed his mind after the last piece of tape, and skedaddled. He'll be very visible to night taffic for a couple days.

Did you miss that topic Karl?

Turned them around from purchase, through paint, and into mounting in 24 hours.

Stains are almost gone already. Brake fluid doesn't last long on hot concrete.

They kinda stand out with the white lettering an slightly mismatched wheels. These are also on 15" steelies, not 16". I just zipped down to autozone for more brake fluid, and found it very resistant to steering. They stick to the road too well.

It'* also very nice not having a howling front hub any more.

Mine never changed sound or pitch when turning. The pitch of the noise changed with vehicle speed only. One howled, but both were going.
