It’s worth noting that due to brilliant design decisions, the only way to put different tires on it is to replace the whole wheel. edit: apparently this part was not correct, my apologies for the misinformation

    I cannot argue with your first point, but it is what it is.

    Regarding the rest, you’re surprised different countries or locales may have differences? Ok.

    Where I live specifically, on this small island, space is at a premium. Most places don’t have enough room for such displays. You go into a small reception area and there are a couple of example tires out front. There may be a couple example rims of different sizes, or they may all be in back. You give the person your current wheel size and they bring out a couple of tire options in your price range. No one offers to sell you rims, because the average person here spends enough money on rent and basics as it is that no one’s going to be sold rims unless they ask for them.

    You’d have to be psychic to walk into one of these places and know what all is available or whether packages are sold.

    So fuck off with your attitude.

      Hang the fuck on. You somehow think that your experience living on a “small island” speaks for “the average person”? Get to fuck. I guarantee your islands population isn’t even large enough to be a rounding error on the global scale. My attitude is fine considering I didn’t realise I was talking to an actual moron.

      But this whole thread illustrates a problem the internet has as a whole, fuckwits like you don’t even bother to research anything. You read something in discussions and chose to take it as gospel without bothering to check if it had a shred of truth to it? And then doubled down on it as if your tiny worldview somehow was what everyone experiences? There is no difference between you doing that and those who treat Fox News as the holy truth. I may have “attitude” now, but it’s cos I have to occasionally deal with people like you, and I don’t suffer fools gladly.

        I stopped reading at the first sentence, it’s not worth my time. I conceded the original point and acknowledged I was incorrect. Bye.

          Naw, did I offend the idiots feelings? You came at me first, mate, if you can’t handle the heat, don’t even step into the kitchen…

          Also, if you were truly offended, you wouldn’t have made this latest comment at all. But you just haaaaaaad to tell the world how much more “better” you are. Jog on.

            I didn’t come at you first, it was a mostly civil exchange discussing where the confusion in the matter could be coming from until you said

            Yeah, so maybe “most people” should shut the fuck up and not spew nonsense about a topic they know literally nothing about? And what kind of arse backwards country do you live in?

            and

            You’d have to be so dumb that you should be committed if you walked in these stores and missed them.

            So, again, fuck off with your attitude. I’m blocking you now.

              Which part of that was directed at you? I didn’t lump you in the “most people” category. You did that. I also didn’t disparage you with the second sentence. Nor with the third. It’s all talking about people and your country in general. None of it singles you out. I can understand how an idiot might think that, but that doesn’t mean it makes it the case. Now, I did go you in my next comment, I’ll admit that. But that was only in reply to you. Like I said before, jog on you sanctimonious prick.

              Never mind, I just looked at your profile and have seen you’re American. I take back what I said about you being an idiot, for the average American that goes online, you’re basically Einstein…

                Just so you’re aware, the world doesn’t look at Australian people as bastions of intelligence either.

                Glass houses and all that.

                  We don’t have the reputation Americans have. Especially online. We may be just as bad, which is a matter of personal opinion, but we sure as shit don’t prove it online so often and readily as those yanks do.

            You being a piece of shit on the internet makes it just as shitty as whatever the fuck you’re complaining about.

            Fix your attitude you miserable oxygen thief.

              So? I never claimed it wasn’t. Maybe me being able to point out someone is being an arsehole is cos I’m one. Doesn’t change the fact that they’re still an arsehole.

          I could say the same to you. At least I contributed to the conversation. What have you done besides try and show off how small your metaphorical dick is?

            You didn’t contribute shit but shit. Your continued angry and rude anecdotal responses to the guy WHO ADMITTED HE WAS WRONG are not contributing to anything constructive so you can fuck right off with that response.

            Grow up and be a better steward of humanity.

              Yeah, they admitted they were wrong, then they doubled down and plowed right on ahead with being wrong. Which is still more than you’ve contributed.

                Ah okay so you’re just a garbage human who is only interested in “being right” or “getting the last word in”, like you accused the other fella of.

                Anyways, you’re a cunt and I don’t care to have pieces of shit like you in my life so I’m gonna do both of us a favour and block your stupid ass.

                  I didn’t accuse them of trying to get the last word in. I love it when people do that, means I can just keep replying and frustrated them. I accused them of not being as truly offended as they claimed to be. If they were, they just would’ve walked away.

                  And you tried to insult my intelligence before, but then think that calling an Australian a cunt is insulting? Glasshouses indeed… I know what you meant though, and so what? I might be a cunt, but that doesn’t change shit. They were wrong, then said more wrong stuff. I coulda been nicer about it all, and like you said, that may make me a cunt. But at least I have the decency to accept people for who they are and not try to change them, unlike you you sanctimonious prick…
