OK, I busted my millionth rim...Who was it that had the wholesale prices here?

OK, so I have been on a spare tire for 6 weeks waiting for Racing Hart to send me a new 18" C4 Evo wheel....Naturally, they are on backorder (and they have been for a month)

My inspection was due last month, My car looks like shit, I could go on all day - but nobody likes complainers...

Anyways, A while back there was a member here who had some great deals on wheels because he was the seller....I tried to search, but I had no luck...Can anyone help me out as to who that was?

My poor car thanks you

Yea, I know all about the cobblestone roads, I will probably never get rid of my stockers for this reason, and the fact that I drive over 25k a year. I also have a 5th full size wheel, only because I had an accident and got one replaced.

The roads in and around Philly are the worst. I just love that construction that they have been doing on I-95 for the past 6 years I wonder if they will finish that project in the next decade.

well, I have sent them 2 rims....Both unfixable, both uncracked
1st The bend was too close to a spoke on the rim and since the spokes are load bearing, ...no dice
2nd The bend could be fixed. However, the center was out of round (the hub center) How that happened I have no clue...but it couldn't be fixed...I just ordered a new set for 600 bucks - with the 300 I get back for the rim that never came...Its a good deal...They will get me through for a while and I plan on looking into a new ride soon...who knows -

Right now my priorities have changed because I bought a house....The CLs, which used to get babied now gets beat on...its a shame, but whatcha gonna do
