View Full Version : Where do you buy wheels from?
JonyyB 01-06-2005, 01:05 AM I got wheels from wheelmax. I heard some bad things about them, but I had no problems. For the deals they have, you can’t beat it.
What is your favorite place for wheels and tires?
cvenom2122 01-06-2005, 06:56 AM i seen wheel maxx they have great prices but i shop at tire rack because there in delaware ;)
zstyle 01-07-2005, 03:25 AM Hehe, the only aftermarket wheels I've ever bought have been second hand. :)
For a new car I would definitely buy new rims though... I don't know which is a good place in Canada.

take the wheel off and then push it out from the inside of the rim.

You have to get the cap off before you can take the wheel off so that doesn't help any...

in that case, there should be a lil gap to stick a flat head screwdriver to pop it off. if not, then i would just keep trying or call the company that makes those wheels.
Waylin22 09-28-2005, 10:24 PM I havent seen any companies that sell black 5 spokes for the 2.0L....ne ideas of sites to look @

I tried that man and thats how I scratched one of the wheels and I thought maybe I was doing it wrong because they are in there good...

got my drag dr4's there 2 years ago when they first came out, i was the first one in the US w/drag racing wheels.....now they are EVERYWHERE
DC52NV 09-30-2005, 11:17 PM wow, talk about volk ce28 knockoffs. wonder how much they weigh compare to mine.

IonNinja 10-01-2005, 04:20 AM I prefer knockoffs of a much higher quality...thats why I went with Rota :D
oh and even though this is about wheels...I've got to say that Tire Rack is probably the fast shipping company on earth. They had my order out the same day and my tires in 1 1/2 days later.

Few designs to choose from... however, rotary forged, lightweight, race minded. Nuff said.
05BurntOGSL 10-01-2005, 01:38 PM i like my drag wheels. they really arent that heavy..........
05BurntOGSL 10-01-2005, 01:41 PM Don't look like a knockoff to me, maybe the same patterns, but look at the well on the Volk, its alot deeper.....

they look identical to me. do you happen to know how much each rim weighs? just curious because i saw a site selling those rims for $109/ea for the 17's. pretty damn cheap considering i paid more for one rim than a set of those drag dr4's.
