What do you guys think of these rims?

[fordkrazy]

hows this guys

the key to adding different elements from images captured by a camera is the distort transformation under the edit menu

edit: Well it serves me right for not reading the whole damn post....oh well....i know you already orderd the MKW's but i prefer the 5spoke...less ricer looking IMO

We need the key to seeing the picture and not a red X! Where's it at?

 

[Hartman]

I've been a fan of these wheels for a while, and I just got a decent quote on em, so I might go with these. I'll keep everyone posted.

 

[Mbrooks420]

Those wheels are very sharp......

For some reason, the pic isn't showing up for me so here is the link:

[X~FACTOR]

Wow! $339 per tire! Did you get some sort of discount 'coz that is pricey?

 

[Hartman]

$339 per rim, not tire. Tires I want are going to be $260 a piece.

 

[X~FACTOR]

Yep, sorry, that's what I meant. So $339 per rim + $260 per tire... man, you are looking at $2400 for all four! Ouch!

 

[fordkrazy]

mmm.....shows up fine for me...but i have no other way to host them except through a link to my yahoo photo album

pic not working. this is Hartmans pic-

 

[boominXplorer]

sometimes i have noticed they will list the bolt pattern 5x114.5 but not 4x4.5 considering they are the same thing.

 

[Hartman]

If I decide to get those rims, I'm thinking about painting the little indentions in the spokes black just to accent it a little. You guys think that's a good idea?

 

[X~FACTOR]

At $339 per rim, if they aren't perfect for you don't buy it, IMO.

 

[Robb]

You want to paint on the chrome? You would have to do a lot of prep work just inside those indentions without messing up any of the chrome outside of the indentions.

I think it would be a nice accent, but wow, that is A LOT of work!

 

[Hartman]

Ok so maybe it isn't such a good idea.

X-factor, you act like $339 per rim is expensive. Compared to most of the other rims, it's cheap. Most of the others are going for around $400-450 per rim.

 

[fordkrazy]

yeah or more....its the tires that get ya.....200+ each....thats crazy IMO...then they have to be mounted by someone w/ half a brain so they dont scratch up your new rims....low pros are aparently hard to mount unless your intelect affords you to know more than just how to operate the machine.

 

[X~FACTOR]

$339 rims + $260 tire = no 20-inchers for x~factor.

The best I could hope for is to get EE's 18x9, $209.95 Cobra Replicas wrapped in Goodyear GT II

But I'm still looking out for the For Sale section in the forum, just in case.

 

[Hartman]

Keep in mind that $260 tires are not the norm. Most people go with the 275/45/20 which is about $130 per tire. Mine are so expensive because they are OE on Porche Cayannes.

 

[strungingout]

im right about to buy some 20in Kruz Tetons with 245/40/20 tires for a surprisingly low 1700 from a local store
