New used wheels on the whip

[Ssiptang]

wow that looks GOOD.
What brand are they? I was looking into those type of wheels and BBSs were so freaking expensive and other knock offs didn't look as good as yours.

xxr 521's. They don't really come in offsets for our vehicles though.

Looks killer. Always wanted to kno what those would look like on the redfire, and must say I kinda wanna sell mine now!

 

[Deez-67]

Everyone keep in mind that I'll be selling either this set or my old set soon... so

 

[Jeffk]

Wow, that would be one tough decision. The lips on the new ones just POP!...glad it's not my call to make.

So hot, want to touch da.. oh wait.

I wonder if the hub has enough meat to have them shaved to tuck inside fenders

 

[46Tbird]

I liked you old wheels - a lot - but I like these better.

 

[Pardue]

The new wheels look bad ass man. Honestly I did like the old wheels better but either way the car looks sick.

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Like! Keep em on the car.

Yes and no. Not really. I checked into that. Even beyond having enough most shops don't really suggest taking anything more than a max of 5mm and suggest going no further than 3mm. I was going to have 3mm shaved off but ultimately just felt it still wasn't enough. I really wanted to do these wheels (was actually going to run the 18's though, which Asianskater has on his). I did find another company that offered them in 18 and 19 (not sure about 20) in sizes that fit our car. I really wanted a black wheel though, which they didn't offer. They had this color and a hyper silver (was a gray). Unfortunately I've deleted the bookmark to the company. I think someone else on the forum had actually posted a link to the company.

Would like a link to said company, if anyone still has it.

I had talked to WheelDudes... who said they'd do custom sets, but would need xx many orders and I just didnt have motivation to try and organize

This was few years ago, so dunno if they still would... or if they've since chagned their offerings to what I wanted in first place?

I double checked and couldn't find the company but the wheel I did go with is by a company called STR Racing and they have a BBS LM style wheel. Can actually just search ebay on LM style and you come up with a bunch of different brands.

[shark tales]

Got these new/used wheels in last week from one of members here (Shark Tales). If anyone ever is thinking of buying anything from him go right ahead. He shipped right away, he was very informative, easy to deal with and he packed the crap out of them (just don't ask what his paypal is). Anyways here are a few shots of them. Tell me what you think. I'm still trying to put my old set back together and if that happens I might have a hard time deciding what set to go with. Some might noticed that I finial got my truck lid filled also.

20x10.5 with 275/35/zr20s on all 4s +30 offset

L

dang it dude why do you have to put me on blast like that!!!! lololol!!!

its my 16yr old paypal and email account lol

i cant even begin to tell you how awesome these look on your car. i am biased like a motherfucker tho

I'm Digging it.

What's Shark Tales going to do now?

deez can attest to how much of a struggle its been to wheel shop after owning the 521s

i finally got something unique for what my budget allowed.

 

[Stetler17]

That thing is classic...Awesome color combo.

Buy some spacers and put the other set on your 67'...
