Re: new/used wheels & tires- excess outerwear

was at it today with the sawzall grinder and bought a 1350* heat gun... I think I only gained a little over an inch, but it's gonna be needed badly so I suppose it was worth it... kinda deformed drivers side fender liner @ 1350* but I was too lazy to take my time on a lower setting, ran 950* or something and it was taking too long... I wasn't sure how hot the actual air was so I shot it on my glove while wearing it for like 10 seconds and damm near melted it to my hand hilarious... needless to say I won't test heat like that again. ANYway, if you get those tools out PWM isn't hard, just make sure you get a very fine tooth sawzall blade. my 1st bi-metal milwakee blade got me no where... trip to home depot solved it within a minute the better blade hacked it off didn't take pix before or after but I do have a piece from what I cut off on one side picked up some 20x10 weld evo velociti 8 XT wheels that need to be refinished and a set of used toyo MT 35"s for $1000 one pair of tires look to have some camber ware outter edges but other than that look pretty new on the side walls and around half tread. planning to either sell the welds for like $650 as is or get them powder coated and sell um for more look just like this pic with the EVO on it and all if I had a dodge or 2000+ chevy 8 lug I'd keep um so if I can even sell them for $600 I get the tires for $400 so if I get $650 I got the tires for $350 which is nice. 2 tires are solid like I said, 2 probably will last 15000 or so miles if I can't mount them on the inside and somehow reverse wear the tires so it gets more even and use on the side that's still cherry... we'll see. either way. if all works out it'll be a good deal. and no matter what they're not as bald as the stockers I'm borrowing right now here's a pic of the rim type
