Non bacon car

Re: Non bacon car

So water-cooled industries has done it again..... and let me just say that i have probably brought this on to myself by choosing this company again.....

Took the tires to chad/jim at Kal tire on friday for mount/balance/alignment. None of this was accomplished. Whoever WCI got to powder coat the wheels did such a bad job that it ran down into the valve stems which caused the stems to leak. Picked them up from Kal tire that night and brought them home exploring my options. i ended up cleaning out the valve stem locations with a rotary tool and sanded away the powder coat so that there would be a better fit.

I brought the wheels back to al tire today, and they were able to get a seal! hurray. Picked them up and brought them home to put them on.... BUT, my bad luck doesn't end here.

Kal tire ended up putting the tires on backwards, even though i specifically told the guys that the wheels were directional.... Im hoping they will fix that issue free of charge Wednesday when i take the car in for an alignment.

So the wheels are on backwards for now. Will be lowering it more tomorrow night. and ill be looking at getting some spacers for the fronts, and maybe even the rears.

Agreed, these are sweet wheels, but IMO the Rotiforms suited your car better. Maybe a colour change will change my mind (or perhaps some camo on the rim?)

Yup, I know the rotiforms did Look better. But they were too wide and harsh. Not really a fan of the 19's, but they looked great

And no Jason I won't be camoing the wheels.

I know where youre coming from, i noticed a pretty significant difference in ride comfort stepping down from 17s to 16s.

Still looks good!

I'll probably be powdercoating or painting after Leavenworth. Camo will also likely be pulled.

I'm with Derek and TJ, not a fan of these. But I honestly think its the color thats killin it for me. I think in white or silver it would look much better!

Thanks everyone, Like i said, the black is just temporary, i needed wheels before leavenworth and i love the design of these wheels, but not the colour. Ill decide on the weekend if ill plastic dip them for leavenworth, or just leave them how they are. but after the show there will most likely be a colour change.

I spoke to chad yesterday, and he will get me all sorted out tomorrow

Re: Non bacon car

Hard to see the design of the rim in black.
White should look way better for those rims and will suit your camo ....I think...

Re: Non bacon car

I like the wheels, gotta admit I have a soft spot for white though...

Kaltire will definitely change that for you free of charge.

Re: Non bacon car

I like them. I did like the Rotiforms alot, but wouldn't want those problems that came with either.

Perhaps, blast off the black powdercoat and go polished silver, when you return the car to black?
