If you really like the wheels, take BOTH crackheads to Wheel Techniques and have them fix the one that will be the cheapest to repair. They have fixed prolly 5 wheels in the past for me as well as prepped/sandblasted a few. Always GREAT service from them, and they have done me right with prices even though some have complained.

If you like the wheels... I mean, you already have them.

Hella.

I think it costs a ton to have wheels repaired. $200 or something right?

I just noticed that paypal refunded you, thats good. But in general be wary of Paypal! They can be very shady, check out www.paypalsucks.com. If you use paypal, link it to a Credit Card. Having your main checking account linked is a surefire way of being screwed if paypal ever locks it, especially if you have your payroll direct deposited. Sorry for the ot post...Ive just read a lot about paypal passing the fraud losses down to the customer.

Yeah. I have my credit card linked to it and not my checking account. I figure that if things don't work out, I could freeze the transaction through my credit card.

3) Steelies are nearly theft-proof. Their beauty is not only in their ugliness, but their stealthyness. You can go from 14" wheels to 16" wheels and most people won't know the difference.




And it's not like they're totally hideous...


LOL they look ugly because you have to powder coat it gold!! then it will look better =]

For some people, how something FUNCTIONS is sometimes even more important than how something LOOKS. This may be a difficult concept for some people to understand.

too bad they are like 23 lbs 17's

You call that function?

as for the 'not totally hideous comment'...are you kidding? (not you wombat)

that kills the look of the car.
