why should I NOT buy these rims?

[kimona]

If you like them, then get them. They are good quality wheels. The price is good, plus free shipping! If you prefer to buy elsewhere, then discounttiredirect.com carries the same wheel with free shipping... and they will more than likely match the price, and they have excellent customer service... before and after the sale. BTW, if you have TPMS, it will fit those wheels and just about every other aftermarket wheel.

I totally dig those wheels. Wish I knew they were available at that price. Still happy with the wheels I got though.

[BEEF]

I don't know what TPMS is. I don't think I have it. please realize that I have been a yaris owner for less than 2 months. much of this is new to me. I am a long time car guy (well, truck guy) but a lot of the particulars about toyota are new to me.

I get paid tomorrow so I will probably make an order tomorrow.

I say get 'em. You'll likely have no problems with them.

There are some people that want the original. Just like some people pay the extra cash for a Polo shirt by Ralph Lauren when others are fine paying $10 for an Old-Navy version. Personal preference. If you're looking for the ultimate in wheel strength, durability, weight, and performance, these won't be it. If you're looking for a set of wheels that will likely be fine for everyday driving, the occational autocross, etc., these will be fine.

I'm not looking for the ultimate anything.

I just want something to make it MY car. I know that may be cheesy but I like them a lot. I just wanted to know if there was some sort of backspacing, lugnut, weirdness that I didn't know about. doesn't sound like it is.

I know that rims are a lot of personal opinion and I do really like these and the price is right. I can't spend thousands of dollars on my car regardless of what I am buying.

thanks for all the advice.

anyone know what I can do with my old steelies? are they worth anything? hubcaps?

[deathwisher]

Steelies I'd keep for snow tires. If snow is relevant where you live that is.

Pop corn time again............lol

[BEEF]

where I live the temps rarely get below say the 20s (F not C) so we don't really do the snow tire thing. I was hoping to get a little back on my investment. maybe recoup some of the money going into these rims. I know they are really inexpensive but hey, money is money and even a little bit will help.

[marcus]

my only comment is get the rims you like all i know is right now my favorite rims in the drag dr16 even if i get another car with 5 bolts in it id still get the same rims.. luckily for me i fell inlove with the rims thats inexpensive..

[BEEF]

the drag dr16s look pretty good but it has a polished lip.

I was thinking of eventually going with black lugnuts too just to black out the rim even more.

Take your steelies to a metal yard and take what they give you?

[BEEF]

usually you don't get much recycling stuff. I'd much rather someone get some use out of them. maybe it's just the hippie in me. reuse comes before recycle.

[SKurj]

Post them on your local craigslist or something ask $100 for the set or something.

[BEEF]

well, ordered them on the 12th and says that they are scheduled to ship on the 25th. that is a weird one to me. I guess now I am playing the waiting game too.

I am looking forward to them.

(will post pics eventually)

[marcus]

a couple of sleepless nights..lol

[why?]

i bought a set of 4 steelies with tires for $100, without tires you might get half that. Definitely worth selling though if you don't need them for snows.

[BEEF]

can't say I wasn't warned

this is the 3rd of june (ordered on the 12th of may) still haven't heard anything so I called them. they told me that the wheels had been backordered and they would not ship for another 3 weeks. when asked if I could cancel the order they told me that once the order is placed with the wheel manufacturer that it could not be canceled.

I argued that the web site says that the wheels would ship in 7-10 business days (which it still does) and someone that would order them today would not get them in that time frame either.

at the end of the day I do like the rims but it really does upset me that it may take 6-8 weeks to get them. I thought about pleading my case further with a manager or supervisor but I feel like I won't get far there either since it is policy.

I guess I won't be using JC whitney in the future.

You cancel the order. What method did you use for payment?
