That's due to their crappy customer service/poor management.

How do you check your tire pressures with the valve stem on the inside?

Dude, man, bro, man, dude, man - are these Avus 501's really $2,200+ each? That's ridonkulous. Gotta give some props on how low your gonies hang to dissasemble and refinish these...

Looking good too - I can't wait to see the pics of them on the car, refinished.
