Default New wheels & tires

Swapped out my old 15 inch steel 7 spokes for some newer OEM ford wheels off of an 03 Sport Trac. The first pic shows my old steelies. I'm pleased with it - they ride great and I really like how they fill out the wheel wells. Some genius apparently put blue threadlocker on one of the bolts on each side of the back and I snapped my lug nut wrench off clean trying to remove one of them. I'm just glad the wrench gave way instead of the stud. Maybe the previous owner pissed off someone at the tire shop and that was their way of getting back at them. Just goes to show, always be nice to the mechanic who works on your car and the cook who prepares your food!
