geez... imagine 21 INCH RIMS

 

:wow: :wow: :wow:

 

Who makes that rim! I would love that in a 17" or 18".

 

dammit! Haha....stop it! you already got those in 19's! but dayam! it looks even better BIGGER! haha.

rmarin2, i believe those are TrafficStars. Don't know which model. just wait for Closer to respond.

 

Holy crap.:wow:

 

You can get them in 17's-19's.

 

yah... 19" Trafficstar DTS. (fortunately they don't come in 20s or I might do something stupid).

 

How much are they? And including the tires? What kind of tires?

 

I say go 20 if you can and represent! BTW those fogs look awefully yellow. Is that IONS? or the stock ones?

 

Hey Closer, since you seem to be the guru of rims, which one are these?

 

Hey Closer, are you the one that had rims that look like ones from CarFreak?

 

looks like dronell's type I to me

 

Yup....When I 1st saw the pic of his car w/these rims, I knew I wanted them.

 

Damn, if that's the case then I think they only come in 19". Crap with 19's I'll have to use a rubber band as a tire. Hell i might as well not even invest in tires, i'll only blow them out in those damn potholes in the city!!

:wow:

 

should be oettinger... rims for audi's and VW's

 

Here's a picture of dronell type 1

 

i love the dronell type 1's probably my favorite rims, wish they came in 18's and werent like $900 a piece

 

:wow: :wow: :wow: DAMN! Those look sweet. But even a small little pothole on the expressway and...stick a fork in them, they are done. Try driving those things in inner city Chicago (potholes capital) and you can say byebye to your nice investment.

I know.....tell me about it. This is what happened to me while driving through the city.

 

holy sh*t...:wow: damn.. where did it happen? how much will it be to fix?

 

I know Happened while driving to Madison Ave in Manhattan. It's going to cost me $160 to fix it and 3 days till I get it back.

 

Oh my goodness Ben!:wow: Sh!t, you only had those wheels for like a couple of weeks max. I'm sorry to see that man.

It must have been a hard hit to bend them that bad. Ouch, I feel the pain thinking about it.

You have to find out if it is repairable?.

edit, I guessed you called up some wheel specialist's to repair them.

P.S. You need my wheels for a week? Though I see you go over some bad potholes with your car....just playin

 

yah i was thinking that too.. you just got those rims not too long ago.. im getting ready now for when i get my rims.. im finding all these different routes with streets without potholes no more driving on left line on LIE and stuff..

 

LIE in left lane going West is horrible I'm not taking my car to city again.

 

Those are the exact reasons why I dont want to go with 18's. Yea they look hot but its just not worth the headache. I'll be happy with my 17x7.5, if I ever find a set I like.

 

If you rims took that shot, what about your suspension kit!
The alignment must have been affected... Expensive pain in the head, sorry to hear about that. Why don't you get a new rim instead of getting it fixed?

 

OMG. I'm so sorry CarFreak. I knew those rims were soft... but Holy Crap.
I don't think I'll ever buy another wheel from atp.

 

I really don't blame it on the rims. I was driving a little too fast and not paying attention to the roads. The passengers in my car said I hit something really hard. No matter what rims I had on, I think the pothole I hit would've damaged any rim. Oh well .....no more driving to the city w/my car.

Sorry to hijack you thread

 

CarFreak,

You mean you didn't feel the car hit anything? Your passenger was the one who told you?

Wow, I would imagine it would've been quite loud and hard, but I guess the rims were soft enough to absorb the shock.

Kinda freaks me out, my 19s came today and going to get them mounted this weekend, stories like these give me the chills.

Good luck with the repairs. Maybe consider a forged rim next time.

Well I had a little to drink (i know that was dumb) and I wasn't really concentrating on potholes. I got these rims for cheap (used) and that's why I got them. When I do come up w/a lot of cash, I will definitely get forged wheels.
