Let the fun begin

If you decide to part with them I like black wheels

 

Can I maybe buy them first?

 

Lol, I figured they had to be in hand... Mr. I hate black wheels.

 

I actually think they would look sweet on my ride.

 

They look sweet on every ride! See if you can get a deal on 10? I'd take a set with spare.

 

Once my extension cable for my media input comes, who wants to buy my Carlinkit2 wireless Carplay Adapter?

 

Is there a aftermarket wheel manufacturer making them in different color choices and sizes?

I thought I read on this forum there was.

 

Yes, someone is doing knock offs with no shame. Probably are just as good though.

 

Some member did like them. Think they were lighter than OEM. I don't remember if they were built with a stronger aluminum.

 

I read they were a pain to balance and are close in cost to OEM. They look good enough but I don't think the fleabay ones are made with stronger anything. If they weigh less there's probably less aluminum in the mold.

 

I read the same for the older style Pro wheels. Issues with balancing.

Lighter doesn't always mean cheaper. Some use a higher grade aluminum which is lighter and stronger. Not the one that you'll find on fleabay.

 

I kinda agree except why are there no name brands putting out the repos? If they did the cost would be more than OEM.
I think repos are great to run an extra wide tire but on skinnies your going to want a narrow wheel. My 255/80/17 say no wheels wider than 8" I believe maybe 8 1/2"and lots of the 17s are 17x9. So for me no bueno

 

There're manufacturer that makes high quality wheels. Cut from solid blocks of aluminum then there the cheap, dangerous junk.

The good thing about about the aftermarket copying the OEM wheels are there better options that the manufacturer doesn't offer. More colors choices, different sizes that fit peoples applications, and so on.

I do agree that wheel manufacturer should design there own wheel design but there a market for OEM looking wheels in different options. That the auto manufacturer doesn't offer.

 

Well I wish one of them would roll out some SCS knock offs. I want cheap f5s that I don't have to win a lottery or be lucky to buy.

 

If the demand is there the aftermarket wheel manufacturer will jump right in.

Don't stop playing the lottery.

 

Rick, hope that exhaust made it to you and you have room for it, that's a big box. Don't touch whatever the black is. It transfers easy. I didn't ask what it was thinking it was paint. Got home with a handprint on my face.

The demand is there! They sell out in minutes

 

Apparently the demand isn't there or it will be in production already. I'm not putting the wheels down by any means.

The most expensive part are the mold making, designing the mold. A lot of time and money is involved. Unless it's made from a solid block of aluminum. Then it's all machine work work which is a slow process. If I was in the market for aftermarket wheels I would prefer the solid block wheels. This statement is only going by reading online.

 

dunno, i like round wheels myself

 

Driving on brakes rotors and drums, are these considered as round wheels?

 

It went straight to Jared’s house but he stopped here first. I was wondering why Jared had a glob of black stuff on his forehead.
