[/quote] are you planning on switching a lot of cars over the ocurse of their life?
did you get a discounted price since it was a potentially more common size?
no discount.. its not even a common size. it splits the difference between the popular sizes.
and yeah... 6-month to 12-month leases

spd-dmn, images below of back of wheel.
these are 18x8 alzor style 349.
JWL certified for 815kg. I was surprised it got such a rating given that it's such an inexpensive wheel. Then I weighed it and I found out why...they are 30lbs XD XD XD
they also make oem reps. might be the same manufacturer. shrug

He probably doesn't force you to back-in either for 'safety' reasons like your shit hole of an office  Jeff's office parking lot is nicely set up!! That is some mega wally shit right there. My first job out of school was the same thing, back into spots, etc, safety safety safety. Bud we are not in the field, we don't need a health and safety committee walking around checking for dangerous office conditions. WOW YOU HAVE A BOX WITHIN 12 INCHES FROM YOUR CHAIR, MOVE IT RIGHT NOW /goes to write you up formally. wow amaze such safety please stfu I remember those clowns would have monthly meetings that would go on for over an hour every month, over HEALTH AND SAFETY IN AN OFFICE? Anyway I ended up joining to waste half of my fridays once a month 
lol dude. i hear ya but because i work in big oil, everything is all based on what is done out in the field and it trickles down.
we have a STRICT no booze policy. if i have a beer at lunch, i'm actually not allowed to go back to work. many times, i've wanted to have a beer at lunch just so i don't have to return to work.

I suppose I can come up with something, but officially, how is backing in safer? the thinking is, in the event of an emergency and everyone is trying to get the fuck out of dodge, you can just pull out and get outta there, and you won't run over anyone else when you're trying to back out.
Not only that but I think it takes like less than half the time to evacuate a parking lot of cars that are backed in versus mixed parking.

Calling for possible snow over the next little bit. /obviously will melt when it hits the ground. But still . ideally 3 sets of wheels and tires would be best Because its getting too cold for those all out performance summers. But Im not exactly ready to slap winters on yet.
if i can spare the space for that many tires.....

S is hibernating as of last week.
Wifey's SUV is getting her winters on now since I just washed her summer wheels, might as well get them off and bagged when they are clean and dry. (plus I have spare cycles now to get it done).
My daily beater. Probably won't do it for another couple of weeks. Gotta re-bleed the brakes (sensors / service reminder is complaining) and have the front pads inspected. Might as well do them at the same time.
