They look pretty unattractive against each other. Better to have a different color on one of the items for contrast.It turns out that they *did* ship the correct sized rims. The *problem was* that the inspector’s sticker (see photo) said “27”. This confused me because I ordered 26” rims, & the “27” sticker on the rim led me to believe that they had shipped 27” rims.

The next problem I encountered is that I felt like the hues of red on the tire & rim clashed (see photo). Maybe I am being too picky, but I went down and bought 2 black rims from the local bike shop (total cost $56.50). The bonus I will get from this is that I can compare the sizes of the black rims when they come in to the red rims that I have here, & be assured that the tires will fit the rims before I take 4 hours building the wheels.
Does this not clash?

Funny, you laid it on thick! Whatever you have been having, I need some of it, you are on the jazz.Oh My Gawd, Erica, like it'd be soooo embarrassing to be seen with those wheels on your welding cart at the mall. I am so gonna have to like, pretend that I don't know you, or something, because, like, you know, right? All my friends have contrasting colors. And my daddy bought me a cart with plastic wheels. Like, who runs pneumatics? Totally.
Hey, I know a product that turns red rims black for pretty cheap. It's called Krylon!
And I think somewhere in this rashard of carp I'm dishing you, I realized why my dad wanted the training wheels off my bike so badly before I was ready to be done with them. He probably needed a welding cart.
My O/A cart is from HF, the epitome of good taste.I know my welding cart has wheels, but that's about as far as I care.
The second one, is what I have. Except for the propensity for the tires to go flat, it's fine. One day, I'll get solid rims.I fabricated an extension for a Harbor Freight tool cart for my welding tanks:

Mostly Finished With Tool Chest Welding Cart
Made some people mad when I came up with this idea, but they will get over it. A company called All-a-Cart makes welding cart kits under the brand name ZTFab. They sell you a few pieces of bent steel, unpainted, and you attach them to a Harbor Freight tool chest. The kit lets you attach a...www.hobby-machinist.com
For O/A bottles I use an HF cart with ~18" spoked wheels:
