Saved By The Rack

Yesterday I whined about how I was short one wheel centering ring as a result of lending my Neon's third wheelset to another driver. This morning I called the Tire Rack hoping they could help me come up with a solution. Amazingly, they had my original order of the wheels from 2008 still on the books. And they still had the centering rings. And they're sending them today. And I'll get them tomorrow. For free.
There are a lot of people who bemoan the 800-pound gorilla aspect of Tire Rack's participation in motorsports --- my brother and I can think of a particularly unpleasant autocrossing-related incident from a decade ago that serves as a perfect example of why no one company should have too much "juice" in a particular sanction or series --- but in this case I have nothing but praise for the folks from South Bend. I've already ordered twelve tires and eight wheels from them in 2016 and I expect there will be more to come.
