I've heard too many stories about fix-a-flat.... many shops won't even touch a tire when it's been used.

Also, the actual sidewall is cracked. Two shops told me it's not safe to use.

+1 I wouldn't use fix-a-flat either..
I have heard that the chemicals in it also affect the rim.

I found someone locally who has a set of the upgraded GT rims and tires (with 1200 miles on them). I was able to get him down to $400. I'm picking them up tomorrow morning. Hopefully the wifey doesn't hang me.

Now I just need to figure out where to get pony emblems for the center cap.

Pictures attached.
