Been there, thought the same thing just gives you that feeling of a job not quite done. Wheels are so dam expensive front wheel tire and rotors where 1700 bought last year. This winter bought the rear wheel tire and pulley factory pollished rotor for 1900. You could buy two sets of tires and wheels for a car for that. Renagade Tahoe wheels.

Made the same mistake. Had the same problem. Match the wheel, I plan to just as soon as the funds allow.
