Sounds like tax time. Last year I did the same thing and bought a new set of wheels from a fella in Oceanside, and had him hold them until I went down for a wedding in San Clemente. Make an occasion out of the trip and you will be happiest.

 

If you can wait until April/May, why not find a friend who would be driving up before then?

 

I've driven from Livermore to Thousand Oaks and back in a day to pick up a motorcyle.

Not that bad. Road Trips are fun, screw the cost.

 

I was contemplating the same thing! going down to Irvine to get some wheels...hrmm..good luck with whatever u do and more importantly POST PICS! haha

 

ill be driving from sd to visit norcal soon. want me to bring whatever you're ordering for you jordan? (i moved to sd)

 

These would be part of my tax return. So I gotta wait for that and the wheels I want are only available for pre-order right now. The site says they will be available January 2011 but considering it is the 24th, I dunno how spot on that date is.

Jeszie, I may take you up on your offer. But a trip to Magic Mountain is starting to sound really good.

 

Not to derail your road trip plans but I got a quote from someone on this page to ship 4 wheels and tires from Portland to Berkeley for $100.

I stupidly decided to use UPS since it was supposed to cost only $20 more and be less hassle for my friend. But UPS turned out to be more like $180 and a lot more hassle for my friend. All the shop has to do is put them on a pallet and wrap them in plastic.

Then you could spend all the driving time at Six Flags in Vallejo.

 

These aren't a private sale and the only shipping option that they offer is $340. That or free in-store pick up. I do find it to be a bit ridiculous.

 

road trips are fun - and i love to drive so imho i'd road trip.

factor in your possible speeding tickets though... it is the end of the month...

 

I'm actually going to Socal this weekend. If i wasn't already bringing 4 other people + bags, i could've gotten them for you *doh

 

I didnt read any of the posts except OP

I cam coming to nor cal I will deliver for 100$*






*restrictions apply

 

for so calers

Bakersfield = Nor cal

 

One restriction being that you never come to NorCal?

 

You can't get the wheels in the bay area for within $100 above the SoCal price?

 

If there is room in my car

Ill meet you just south of Bakersfield
