LOL on the guy driving around on the donut. I have been seeing one myself (on a full size Chevy sedan) every morning for the past two weeks at Starbucks. I guess the guy can't afford to get the original one fixed after spending $4 a day on coffee.

I got the notice in my box this last Wednesday that the rim+tire had arrived. I didn't look up the tracking number you provided (to know when to expect it), but (via FedEx ground) delivery seemed very speedy ! More tread on the tire than I expected !...I won't have to wait (until the 'new re the flat tire' tire comes off re a new set of 4) to put the rim to use. What causes the....for lack of a better term -- 'rust circles' (I noticed the same thing on a pic of Bronsin's Yaris re his very recent accident) ? Harsh winters? Only places with harsh winters and certain road treatment? I'm not concerned (I know you wouldn't sell anyone anything you deemed unsafe), I'm just curious. As an ex-girlfriend used to say....an inquiring mind wants to know . (others besides CTScott also welcome to answer )

That rim actually came off a California car. The circles on that one are where the paint got sandblasted off the rim in between the areas covered by the hubcap.
