Ohhh,,I get it.However to be fair,I've owned some well renowned muscle cars in my life,,too many to list(GTO,429Cobra jet Torino,Z28,etc).Unfortunately,the US cars could not stand up in reliability,but back then no one cared.Now people lay down the same $ thats used to buy a house 30 yrs ago.And you only get what you pay for. 
Thats why I drive a benz.

I guess we met late, hahahhhaa.....in case you didn't notice these are what I've had in the past (2 years!), in chronological order.......therefore no AT Rivas or any of the other tight wheels I could only dream of But hopefully the search will end with my Dronell C-15's
Yeah, heard new tires tend to also rail a bit at the beginning.......but why didn't you change them both? I understand its always best to change them in pairs.

Hmm
Do you mean change 2 wheels or two tires? I didnt see any problem with the rear wheel or tire.Anyhow,I think it will be fine from this point.
Man,,,you sure have changed the look over time! How much do these different wheels cost? (US)

Yeah bro
I believe we straightened that out(pm).650 a piece is quite a bit,Are you sayin 2600 per set,or 650 for 4?Now that you've run the gambit on all the diff wheels,do you have to start all over again when you pick up a different ride? Or do you pick up where you leave off? I suppose it all depends on the car

They are all nice,,,and the ones you're wearing now are sharp laddy.
