Anybody out there have some factory rims they want to unload?
My car won't accept aftermarket rims. I've tried two sets and they both make the car wobble all over the place and make the steering wheel jerk around. The stock wheels don't do that. Three different tire shops all say my rims aren't centering up on the hub, and we've tried three different sets of hub centric rings to remedy the problem with no luck. I'd put my stockers back on but they're all scratched up. The person that had the car before me was a chick, and they always mess their tires up scrubbing curbs. I'd prefer the newer style that I've seen on the 7th generation Celicas, the ones with the really pointy, almost nonexistant five star spokes, but I guess I'd be interested in the 6th gen 5 stars too. Please, reply here if you want, but PLEASE send me an email too. My email is DoothaBartman@netscape.net Peace. |

how much did u pay for your rims? and did you have the offset, and all of that stuff correct on the rims when u got them? i have heard of people just getting cheap rims and they end up riding really crappily. so if you got them really cheap or something, that might be the reason. if i were u i would just put back on my stock rims, sell the ones you have on ebay or something, and pick up a set from a tried and true bigger company. they might cost a lil bit more, but that might solve your problem, and if it is still a problem, you can sell the rims, and if i were you i would just have my stock rims resurfaced if they are all scratched up like that. it is a lot cheaper than getting a new set of rims and they look like brand new rims. a lot of comapnies do that. talk to a body shop and they will know what you are talking about. Transwheel is a good company that i know of. they will prolly send you a set, and you will send in your old set and you will get a core charge and it will end up being fairly cheap. the rims are 300 from the dealer EACH, i got a resurfaced one from transwheel for like 100, and that was without the core charge, so i am guessing it will be like 50 bucks per rim, and you will have like new stock rims. but i would check out some higher quality aftermarket rims first.
