yeah guys, this is the best deal i've seen since it INCLUDES mounting and balancing, shipping, lugnuts, and tires.
all he needs to do is inflate the tires and tighten the lugs.

not bad..

haha how on earth did you bent a stock rim... i cracked the sh*t out of mine when i hopped a curb head on once. blew my whole tire out and the rim was clearly destroyed when it ploughed into the curb. but bending a 15' alloy is unbelievable.

post some pics when you've got them mounted!

^^i straight pulled head on into a curb one night thinkin there was a driveway there, and i didnt even scratch the front bumper, crackin the rim is unbelieveable.

u must have bad luck my friend, but the rims can allways be sold and u can put some extra cash with em and get something sicker. good deal for shipped rims.

I got hit in the driver side fender by a truck going 40mph in my old Tiburon. Car totalled, steering for that side completely out, tire lodged into the spring and strut assembly.

Tire stayed inflated, rim not bent. lmao.gif

Gotspeed13 has those same rims mate... I reckon they're alright.

No offense to everyone saying they look sh!t but half of the guys on here are rolling around on stockers or on aftermarket rims that I don't particularly like either. It's all a matter of personal taste.

Here's GS13's car... Gotspeed's new wheels thread

Nice rims. I'd sport them on my Elantra if I got them.

OH DUDE!!! I can't wait to get these. my car is the same color cobalt blue as well! No need to chop to figure out how it will look! That's so awesome.



On a side note, once I get these and am ready to try them out, any suggestions as how to ruin my stockers before i throw them away? I've got nowhere to store them.

No idea how they bent... I just know they are bent. I tried to have them ballanced and it still didn't work. Maybe it was all the mad tyte tiburon drifting action?

Keep the best tire and wheel as a full size spare. Then just trash the bent rim and part out the other two.
