I met a guy at a local shop tyhat has a QC Dak as well. I will probably go
there. I can probably get him to fit me tires to see what works.
He did quote me $4500 CDN ($2800USD) for rims (OZ) with tires (Ouch!)
I like the Eagle better though.
I need something nice, but not too flashy, I do end up driving conservative
customers to lunch in my truck.
Although, one of these 'conservative' customers did tell me afterwards, that
only girls drove automatics (sorry guys, just relaying info).
