New wheels, completely rediculous

**4cylfun** · 5-14-08, 20:05

I live in a very safe community and i bought a Viper alarm from a friend for 50 bucks so i don't care all that much. But i got these for 100 bucks today. They are 18" Lexani somethings......... lol Anyway they almost fit the car but at the same time don't really fit my means. Besides scrapping them for metal what should i do with these. I forgot that i would need spacers in the back but i bet these bastards weigh like 30-40 a piece

But anyway does anybody on here want them maybe, otherwise i might rock them out till i can get some nice bbs wheels or some enkei's or somethin.

Here they are lol!!! And they fit fine in the front with no rubbing. They are 225/40's Couldn't tell you the offset.

there some chipping on them but hey, for as cheap as they were with damn near new 711's i'm cool with that.

sorry mod, could you delete my other thread. I didn't realize it double posted on me.

**tnr4life02** · 5-14-08, 21:41

sorry man, i think those things deserve a place at the bottom of a lake.

**4cylfun** · 5-14-08, 22:27

i'm not offended at all, like i said 100 bucks. The tires are worth way more than the wheels in my opinion. The wheel spacers on ebay are like around 70-80 bucks. So i guess if i were to do 18" wheels anyway i would still need the spacers. Just kinda hard for me to really want to put the spacers in the back to make the wheels fit.

If i could sell these things for a couple hundred i would but due to the chipping and very mild curb rash i think i'm just gonna have to wait for one of my friends to buy em. I have a buddy how has a new stratus r/t he wants somethin bigger for. I'm wondering if he is naive enough to buy them from me.

The problem with getting those wheels for as cheap as you did is that you'll likely pay another half that to get the tires off then half that to get them installed on whatever GOOD RIMS you want them on. by them you've spent $200 on some "fakezanis" with decent tires that you may or may not even be able to use based on what rims you get....not to mention aonline companies give you a hell of a deal for rim AND tire packages.....some place also charge no tax as well as free shipping.

That purchase fails.

First of all, stop using BBQ lighter fluid to light your coals and get an Electric charcoal starter:

For the tires and rims, just have the tires removed for 40$ and sell them for 200$, then bury the rims in your back yard.

**4cylfun** · 5-15-08, 7:19

deal, however i think my friend is dumb enough to get these things so maybe its not such a fail just yet. But its close lol.

**Discretion'sMX6** · 5-15-08, 8:31

Craiglist?

**SAdrmmr04** · 5-15-08, 10:44

those rims deserve to be on some old caprice or other "gangsta" car, some dumbass will buy them. i 2nd the craigslist idea. My friend ended up trading a [shizzle]ty set of konigs that everyone and their mom buys (came with the car he has), and got a set of SSR Schumacher rims that sell for over $1500 used. the deals are out there, you just gotta look

**4cylfun** · 5-16-08, 7:32

i wonder what i should try to sell them for. Due to the chipping i don't think i could really rip someone off but think i could get 300 out of someone stupid enough?

**Karaha** · 5-16-08, 8:27

Take blurry, inconsistent shots so they look like action gangster shots and post em on ebay or craigs list. Some one with no brains and a half assed car will buy them for something more than you payed for them. I've seen people buy 8.95 spinnah hubcaps for like 200 on ebay and such.

	the lack of a cupholder just makes it that much more like a Ferrari "If you haven't seen the future, you haven't gone FAST enough."

Figuring out speed limits in Quebec: (cornering) The speed at wich your car will break traction and leave the road -1 km/h .(staight line) In the highest gear, when the car is red lined . Those who do not respect these "SPEED LIMITS" should keep of the roads of QUEBEC.
