Top ones, and the wheels should be repairable. I've seen wheels with 6 inch cracks repaired, and look brand new, and are structurally sound.

[EATsleepJDM]

yea i was leaning towards those but since they didnt hold air,i was not sure if i should get them.

so do you know any good shops to do those kinds of things?

[EATsleepJDM]

does anyone know?

[greddy]

Get the fake Volks! How much does he want for them?

[EATsleepJDM]

^^he wants $150. with two of them having supposedly very sticky tires.and one of the rims that dont hold air has a crack and the other has a dent going inward he said.

so does anyone know any?because if yes,im going to buy the fake volks.

Well, not forever ofcourse...lol

But I got plenty of room to store stuff. I can keep the ones that aren't being repaired if you like.

[greddy]

Put them in a box wrapped in plastic, and store them on the roof lol.

[EATsleepJDM]

put in in your back seats covered in garbage bags so they wont see it.

[kolio]

put in in your back seats covered in garbage bags so they wont see it.

this works well, even better with dark tint.


for like 3 months i had 3 stellies in my trunk with my sound system still in there.

EDIT:yes,the people that were supposed to buy the rims today flaked on him!so i might check them out tomorrow to see if they are really bad and fixable.

[EATsleepJDM]

[RedGalant2k1]

I use Transwheel.

[EATsleepJDM]

where is transwheel? and do you have any info on them(website,phone number,location).what is the average price to get a bend fixed,and to get the wheels polished and stuff?

[RedGalant2k1]

Call them, they should be able to refinish the wheel, if not, I'm sure I can find other places.

[EATsleepJDM]

thanks man.

o yea jigz said that you have a shop or store(forgot which one)??if you do,what tires do you recommend for a DD on 17' rims.also have you heard of wanli tires?

[RedGalant2k1]

thanks man.

Yes, I've heard of Wanli. Not really good all seasons. I'd suggest something else. But get a budget in mind and I can help direct you better then.

[EATsleepJDM]

oh,im not going to use the 17' rims during fall or winter.since i am going to be using the ones i have right now during winter and fall.so i just need tires that are good in rain and dry of course.because right now,i have wanli tires on the rims and one is really worn out so i was wondering if wanlis are any good before i purchase another set.so would the wanlis be good for just rain and dry?

edit:and my budget would be like $100 per tire,not sure if i can get anything good with that budget.but i think each tire for a wanli would be $65(?) i think.

For the money they'd be a decent buy. Personally, I'd spend a little more and get a nicer name brand and nicer performing tire.
