I have been thinking about upgrading wheels. I painted my stockers, but alas, there still stockers. First I looked at all of the popular and expensive name-brand sites, and their distributer sites, but nothing had a price/looks ratio I wanted.

Then I figured i'd drop into a Discount Tire and see what they had, just for kicks. I seen these up on the wall and instantly loved them, then I seen the price. $76/peice for 18's. I just need to know if anyone knows the company who makes them or better yet how reliable they are as far as the finish and stuff.

Their powdercoated Silver, but for $30/wheel more I can get them gloss black. I actually like silver. Then if I get tired of it i'll throw some duplicolor bronze on the spokes eventually.

Anyway, heres a pic of them.

not bad... have u looked at edgeracing.com they have good deals there

 

Yea I checked out edge, and I like the flik's in gunmetal but their just not as unique as these hotwheels. Plus, the shipping anywhere basically is going to cost me $150 extra. Plus i'll get them mounted and balanced. I'm going to go back when I have the $$ saterday because I hate being a window shopper, and i'll feel how heavy it is and try to look up the weight. If it's within a pound of the stocker weight i'm probably going to get them this weekend.

Odd's are pretty good i'm going to throw on a few coats of duplicolor bronze with a couple coats of clear for the spokes also. We'll see what happens.

 

that'd look real nice

 

Yea i'm giving myself an early start to working up the courage on taking sandpaper to a brand new wheel and painting it, lol.

 

True but as far as quality goes...Fliks are great! IDK, I like the lugs to be exposed not covered. Gunmetal looks clean on FM.

 

Yea it does. I'm going to stop in Discount again saterday and do some more looking. I just seen how cheap these 18s were and was too excited to look at everything else.

I definately want a 5 spoke though
