the tire holds air but i need new tires, wondering if the shop will even put new tires on it with a crack just smaller than the thickness of my fingernail lol

ZFreie 05-23-2011 06:59 PM

hmmm, you would have to take the tire off and see if the crack makes it back past the bead. It might leak...or it might not lol

SLP IROC-Z 05-23-2011 07:24 PM

dude that fuckin sucks!

black heartbeat 05-23-2011 07:53 PM

I bet i could get away with it but I'd probably be best off getting a new rim rather than have it give way on a launch and total the car, I found a guy asking for 325 shipped for two rears and possibly only a little more with radials included and I'll see where that goes because I still have some life left on my fronts

Formula413 05-23-2011 08:56 PM

Look into that Rimpro thing, never used them but I bet it can be fixed

There is a little bit of truth there.

they quoted me 160 to 175 to fix it, no thanks

I used kwicksilver wheel repair in E. windsor CT
http://www.ctwheelrepair.com/
did a great job on my bent rim.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 05-23-2011 10:35 PM

yeah man that can be fixed for sure!! is it on the inside only? or both front and rear lips cracked?

black heartbeat 05-23-2011 10:44 PM

inside only but most places I've found are quoting me like i said 160-180 to fix it and I've found ws6 rims online for less than that

ILuvPizzaTimes10 05-23-2011 10:46 PM

your call. unless your gunna buy a whole set of wheels with the fading and shit on your wheels another set or a single wheel will never match. either way Do Not drive it like that.

black heartbeat 05-23-2011 10:51 PM

I'm looking around for used sets or pairs on Lshuantech and I've found a few, just waiting on some responses, I just don't really feel like its worth putting over a buck and a half into a wheel that you can get for just that

My84Z 05-23-2011 10:52 PM

sand it down and use some jb weld then get it rebalanced any place that fixes it is just gonna dismount it weld and sand it. it's on the inside I wouldn't worry about it. just sand it down and have someone put a 10 dollar weld on it or jb weld will be fine.





disclaimer only part of my answer is honest the other part is funny but would probably work.

midnight 05-23-2011 10:59 PM

i have some ws6 wheels ;)

black heartbeat 05-23-2011 10:59 PM

You looking to get rid of them?

midnight 05-23-2011 11:02 PM

lol not really, want to be able to take the nice wheels off for the winter. Just inserting some useless posting :-\

$325 for two of them sounds steep in all seriousness

Formula413 05-23-2011 11:03 PM

I thought those were 16's Mike?

black heartbeat 05-23-2011 11:20 PM

I'm looking at some thinspoke c4 repos front 17x8.5 245x40 back 18x9.5 275x30 I think, waiting to hear back on the backspacing and what he wants for them shipped

ls6monte 05-23-2011 11:21 PM

If the wheels are NOT chrome I can get you a decent price for fixing it. We have a guy that works on the race car that has a rim repair shop. He repaired the rim on the monte and it came out awesome.

DemonWithin99 05-24-2011 07:56 AM

I have a set of stock 16's off a bird (twisty ones), and a set of these.

black heartbeat 05-24-2011 08:25 PM

thanks guys but its not a real disaster I still have a set of salad shooters that i can run the car on fro the time being and thanks Joe but I personally am not much for black rims on a black car

SLP IROC-Z 05-24-2011 10:33 PM

Formula413 05-24-2011 10:47 PM

MTBSully 05-25-2011 04:08 PM

damn adam that sucks. my new wheels came in yesterday and tires come in today so I have a guy wanting to buy my 10 spoke SS wheels and tires for $400 but i would sell them to you first if you wanted them.

On second thought with the luck you have had with this car you probably never want to buy anything from me again haha.

black heartbeat 05-25-2011 09:59 PM

ILuvPizzaTimes10 05-26-2011 08:19 PM

Hey fuck face. Take the wheel off the car and the tire off the rim. Give me the rim and ill give it back to you in one piece. Free of charge as long as I don't have to drive anywere to drop it off or pick it up from you.

Formula413 05-26-2011 09:33 PM
