SH> The Chevrolet site and I are fighting about Cookies but Honda will sell me
 SH> four aluminum rims for $1537.00 CAN.

I didn't like the GM site either and 1537, is that per rim? :-)

 BF>> The rims to a 4 WD pickup is a bit special too, made for off-road driving
 BF>> and if the police should caught me with rims that are not approved for 4
 BF>> WD I would get a ticket and then I had to change them.

 SH> That's a new one on me.

When the car is 3 yo. we have to visit a "car test" in order to
get a new "tax-reciet"
to put on the rear plate and if the car doesn't follow the
"rules" you don't get it and
then the police can see that you don't have been to the test and will stop you. The
police even have "flying" controls on the road and checks the car
and if they find
an error you might even have to tow the car to a garage to have it fixed.
They even chech if you are having proper tyres. At least 3 mm left on winter tyres
and here it's a *law* to have approved winter tyres during winter if it's snow on the
road.
The police have even access to the "car-test:s" database to see
if there is any
problem with the car.
So, if I should have rims on my car that isn't approved for 4 WD by the manufacture
I'm in a big trouble at the "car-test" and by the police and I
think even by the insurance
company if I was in an accident.
Not even all tiresmarked M&S (Mud&Snow) are approved here in
wintertime as winter
tyres. USA have another rubbermix in their M&S tyres that doesn't stand
the minus deg
so for use in Sweden they have to make another rubbermix and this the police have
a list for and if you are using wrong tires they give you a ticket for
driving on summer
tires even if you are using M&S tires.

 BF>> Tell that to the GM bosses......
 BF>> Imported from the States.

 SH> I don't own a GM. :-)

Good for you.

 BF>> Then they have to take a cab.
 BF>> There is always a choise to be made. Driving safely or not to drive,
 BF>> that's the question.

 SH> But is a battery that isn't as good as new unsafe?

Of cause not. I ment in general.
