Default Wheel offset tool.. Its a good tool

But where do you buy them from?? You pick the tire you wan to
use and this tool mounts to your tire and bolts up to your rotor
and tell you BS.. I used to see ads for this tool, but now that I want
one, I can't find SHI* Anyone know what I'm talking about??

I had no idea of what MEG was describing and I have to admit, I had to read the whole Summit add to figure out what this thing was for.

What a neat tool! A shame that it isn't shiney. If so, I'd need one as well.

Yes I know what you are talking about. I saw one being used on Horsepower TV during the 2004 season. I may have that particular show on tape, it was a show about how to pick the correct wheel/tire combination and they used this tool. I will check HPTV show archives also.
