Well, is it TOO low? I think it looks a whole lot better. I took these a week before I hit a curb at 30mph, OUCH!!!












Here's the wheel. Some bitch cut me off, hauled *** and left me stuck like Chuck. I wobbled all the way home. I called Rishie to see if he could get me another one and he called me back and told me it's discontinued. I couldn't believe it at first cause it's a new wheel. I guess I have no choice but to get it repaired in Miami at a wheel shop. It costs $110 for wheel repairs, $200 extra for chrome. This isn't including the price to ship it there. So I'm paying for a new wheel, pretty much.

 

ouch!

 

The drop looks very nice. Is it lower in the back than front ???

As for the damaged wheel, isn't there another place (besides from Rishie) that you can order a new one from ???

 

ouch sorri to hear and see that .....

 

Damn bro, Hate to see that happen to you, Hopefully it shouldn't take to long for it to be repaired and returned. BTW what size rims and tires are those. Also I do like how you have it lowered that looks like a great height. (this is for people who like to cut people off)

 

The back is tucked more than the front only because the rear fender sits lower than the front. The height is even all the way around. It'll be more to get it from someone else. Rishie gave me a pretty good discount. Besides, he said the wheel is discountinued.



It'll take a week for it to get there, 5 weeks for it to get fixed, and another week for the return trip. Until then I'll have to get a full-size spare. Right now I'm riding on a doughnut. I moved the rear wheel to the front so I can steer and put the doughnut in the back. The car leans to the right as you can see. I look at it like this, atleast there's no body damage.

 

sorry to hear that, I think if you searched around you would be able to find another one of those rims,...
people were buying them like nobodies bizness

 

Sorry to hear that bro. I feel for ya..

I think the drop looks sweet though. Your car always look good.

 

That sux donte, but I love the drop!

 

I know I'll be able to find one, it just won't fit my car. I've looked around and I have the only pro(4 lugs) with 17s with that wheel. They have to be made to fit my car, Rishie already told me. Oh well, I'm shipping it off tomorrow. I'll know by next week if it can be fixed or not. I think it can because the only thing that's wrong is the outside of the wheel is grinded down in two spots and the lip is bent in only in the spot in the pic. The wheel as a whole is alright. Like you said, people are starting to buy them like crazy (only until they run out of stock) but not too many in chrome and no other pro has them especially in 4 lugs. I'll let you guys know what's up.

 

Thanks protege king and everyone else for the compliment on the drop. Puts tears in YOUR eyes? Man, I think one WAS in mine. I almost broke down right then and there.

 

sorry to thear that ... the drop looks nice as hell, sitting right on the tire ... really smooth, hope u get that wheel fixed and thank gawd nobody has cut me off and made me hit a curb cuz i think id kill someone .... (knock on wood) .... sorry bout that man ... still looking good

The drop looks nice. There is a place here in Md that can fix your wheel. I had messed mine up as well. When i went there i saw wheels in worst shape than yours that they fixed. I'm really satisfied with the work they did and i could be really **** when it comes to detail. The name of the place is YE Ole Wheel Shop. The number is 1800-526-8260

 

Thanks for the contact info serpentkilla. I'll give them a call first thing in the morning. Good lookin' out.

Anyone else have contact numbers for wheel repair shops?

 

That sucks, I fell you pain. I have distroyed every nice set of rims I bought. Always a frickin curb. Backin out turn to sharp and that terrible grinding noise. You know it is very bad. I foud a guy here in AZ who can repair the wheels cheap. He does great work. The most I was ever charged was 60 dollars. They cut a chuck out of the rim, rewelded it and rechromed and poliched it. It looked cherry.
