    Default Virtual Wheel Simulator

    I have seen several posts recently about different size wheels and thought this would be fun to play with. At my local Tire shop they have a computer set up for the public to use to see what your vehicle would look like with different wheels and lifted/lowered etc. On their web site they have the same feature (without all the functions of the in-house version) but it is still fun to modify your ride by even selecting different colors and different style wheels for it. I selected my exact model of Silverado (even Crew Cab, Short box, 4X4, and Yellow) and was able to see it with 16", 17", 20", and even 22" wheels on it!

    Oh yeah!, they just finished up a huge promo giving away free beef to their customers. I have had an account there for 23 years and have never bought tires during the promotion Bad timing on my part.

    Looking at the anaytlics to the site, we get a lot of poeple who come here for this sort of thing. Just curious who uses it and what you think.
