Thank you for the help 😄 Yes, the gunmetal machined version, it’s still bright but more subdued than chrome.

Good choice on the wheels, simple, uncluttered, should look good on there!

If only I had the lugnuts…



I started to unbox one, but it’s boxed inside that box and wrapped up inside, so, I’m waiting.

Ya, Vision really wraps them up. Hard to unpack, but come in 100%.
They even packed my steelies on the Ranger like that too.

I couldn’t help myself, didn’t fully unpack one but dug out enough to see what it looks like. They don’t mess around with the packing!

Also was pleased to find a sticker for the toolbox.



The big “U.S. General” is probably going to find itself removed soon, I have a dozen or so stickers of various parts companies (and firearms) saved on eBay, so I’ll need more space.

Still no shipping confirmation on the lugnuts, I’m guessing they will ship on an actual Amazon rig and not a third party. Living out in a rural area, we don’t get the fancy Amazon rigs, so I’ll probably wait and meet my brother in law Monday to get the lugnuts and then have them installed. All subject to change to my impatience 😄

I used my fliptop roller HF chest for stickers too the general sticker got removed fairly early, decided it did nothing and was only ever going to peel.

For the mower, manually connect the seat disconnect wires together to rule out the safety switch.

For the wheels, unbox them all now and fully inspect them all for any damage, or even manufacturing defects (more likely) also show pics

You raise a good point about checking for defects.

@[F2C]MaDMaXX I went to order oil tonight and apparently the Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic is not available? Can get the Ultra Platinum on Amazon still, as well as the Platinum High Mileage. I’m 1500 miles away, so have a little time, just thought I’d order while it was on my mind.

(Walmart shows the 5QT jugs for $15 but not available)

I ordered a filter for my truck and one for the wifey’s Edge.

My boss went to Quicklane a couple days ago, only oil change, cost him $135 out the door. He was rightfully mad.

Yeah, this set of Method's was the first set of brand new wheels i've bought since, um, 15 years ago, always worth checking all ok, especially if you're then handing them off to another place to fit tyres.

Pennzoil plat was out of stock but for a good price this past week (the $15 you saw), either way, the quaker state full synth is still the better of the two oils, the ultra and other 'fancier' versions of oil do not seem to actually give better wear protection - and by Pennzoil's own admission, it's the same as non ultra, just with some extra additives in there.

I’ll keep that in mind, I have a month at least before I need it. I still have about 2qt left from the Pennzoil Platinum that’s in it, I’d like to at least stick with Pennzoil where I can combine them.
