I only had to drive 1mi down the street to drop off my girl and on the way home BAM!.....silence......thud...thud...thud....!! I KNOW for a fact that pothole wasn't that big last week dammit. Thank god i work for a rim shop, but i'm still kinda seeing that my motoforge wheels are discontinued. I do however have one wheel left instock BUT it's gunmetal, not silver like the ones i currently have.

Now i need some input guys.

Should i ;

a) paint the gunmetal one silver to match the rest
b) throw on the gunmetal and repaint the other 3 (kinda leaning towards this since i like gunmetal a lil better)
c) buy new wheels
d) none of the above (gimme other suggestions)

Either way i know i will have another wheel on the car tomorrow morn'n as soon as i get into work. But what i should do as far as the color goes?

Here's a pic of the wheels in silver just in case u guys are wondering.

Gunmetal is good 2 go in my book. can the other wheel be repaired?

 

the damage seems somewhat repairable but its a forged wheels so i'd rather not take the risk of weakening it further by trying to get it repaired.

 

Oh that just plain sucks. I'm sorry to hear that.

Are there ever any wheels that just don't go discontinued? I mean, don't they all after a short season?

 

Ouch. That's why I'd never have a set of low profile wheels in the snowbelt. Not even in the summer.

Heck, the roads in Minnesota were full of pot holes year round. I've been to Boston, their roads are just as bad if not worse.

 

make this a poll!!!!

I'd lean towards b or c .. A only if I was strapped for moola

 

I thought forged were stronger than cast wheels?

 

Well, even if they are stronger, a soft aluminum wheel shod with a low profile tire doesn't stand much of a chance against the road craters in Massachusetts.

 

Update : i ended up getting new wheels. Only because my rear wheel also suffered damage to the inner side that i didn't see last night.

New wheels are Drag DR13 Carbon black. I've been wanting to change wheels anyways the motoforges weren't my style.







whatcha think?

 

pretty cool, the flat black wheels look pretty much straight up race which in my book is good!

 

and thats the same reason why i have baby moons one my car...i was gonna get rims but liveing in nyc its pointless...jus stuck wit the good ol 15's

 

duey what size tire is that ?? .. those 215 40s ? or 215 35 ?

 

Duey looking pretty good, I might stop by today to see if the hoods in, holla at me!!!

 

I feel the silver looks much hotter than the gunmetal. I would go with either painting the gunmetal or buy new rims.

 

well i'm an extremely impatient person, and when i saw that i damaged 2 wheels from that pothole i HAD to grab a set of wheels instock. Another reason why i chose black wheels is because i eventually plan going 2-tone on the car, silver w/black top.

But right now i'm still having mixed feelings on the red stripe on the wheel.

soon2bxb they're 215/35's falken fk451's

 

why dont you hook ME up with some rims T3

 

The black is hot, now hitt he calipers and brums in Red, that wouuld make the rid stipe pimp.
