  • new wheels... maybe

    well i was going through the tex and came across this picture



    and well i want those wheel so i went searching on kijiji and found a set locally for 350 bones

    im gonna go take a look at them as soon as the seller gets back to me but one of the rims has a crack on it (you can see in the picture) any one know where i can get the crack repaired and how much it might cost?

        alberta wheel could probably help you out, I've seen them do wheels with worse cracks than that. But a couple things;

        1) you have to be hella low (tucking tire for sure) or else these things look funny- was actually one of the reasons I turned away from these because I didn't want to be that low in calgary

        2) make sure you are positive you want 17s in the front and 18s in the rear, the staggard sizes look is definitely not for everyone and it is impossible to run 18s in the front (unless you find reps with a different offset/width or something but as far as I know no 18" replica with appropriate offset/width combination exists)

          Those look pretty awesome. They remind me of the Porsche 5 spokes on the newer 911's.
