Thread: Rim Question

Size, weight, the red pinstripe, I like the 5 spoke look but I could go with a few more if I saw a set that I like better, the quality, the price is a bit up there but I do like them.



I'm pretty sure I only mention mags when I was speaking of my stock wheels, which are infact mags, and I will stop calling it plus sizing although I am pretty sure that is the correct terminology.

Also I looked through the listing on the Motegi wheels and i found out that you do infact get 4 rims, they are a bit steep in price but I really like them. I emailed the seller about the hub bore.

p.s. I edited all the posts and changed "rim" to "wheel"

that website should give you the options of tires for bigger rims. I have 205/45/16's on my car.

man, i learned something new today, i guess i never thought of looking for it but i had no idea the fake brake caliper covers even existed, i seen the fake cross drilled rotors that go over the drums but to me this seems retardedly unsafe, i mean if you dont do a good job gluing them on they will come flying off, and it seems your brakes will get hot alot faster and all the brake dust thats gonna be under them is gonna suck cause i know you will probbly have ****ty brake pads since you got the ghetto caliper covers........

and you shouldnt need to get your car aligned for just swapping out the wheels unless it needs it already, and places like tire rack will mount and balance the tires for you and when you order you can also ask about the lug nuts , and paint your calipers if you want them a different color pretty much any auto parts store sells the duplicolor caliper pant kit just make sure you take your time and clean everything really well and tape and cover off everything you dont want the paint to get on

Ben, these guys have lots to learn. SMH!

Putting on new tires and wheels, an alignment is a MUST. If you really don't care the about tire life, go ahead and ignore alignment.

Also Discount Tire Direct offers free shipping on wheel/tire combo.

My car does need to be realigned, and I don't want the tires to wear in crooked. And yes I plan on painting the calipers now

Those Motegi wheels are available on Tire Rack.

so your saying every time you take your car into for lets say a tire rotation you gotta fork out the money for an alignment....it would be nice but i dont think its a MUST, changing the wheels and tires shouldnt really effect anything unless the over all diameter and width is changing over what it was previously at

Did I ever mention rotation? Don't take the words I say out of context. This is why when you get new tires installed anywhere, an alignment is always suggested. But like I said, if you don't give two craps about tire life, ignore alignment. A friend of mine ignored alignment after putting new sets of wheels/tires, his tires had bad inner wear within 6 months. Now he has to dole out more money for tires when all of this could of been avoided with a simple alignment.
