So I've been out of it the last couple days being sick and all. Well today I ate the curb at Taco Bell :cry::cry::cry:
picture.php


But anyways I found this place online that sells em for dirt cheap:
http://www.hubcaphaven.com/mm5/merc...e_Code=HC&Product_Code=5023&Category_Code=577

Am I wrong in thinking there's something fishy here? If not I will totally buy a couple this weekend, both as replacement wheels so I have a pair of alloys to put some drag slicks on.

Thoughts?

Oh and the missing rubber, I cut that off since it was just hanging there after it sheared off on the curb. Pretty sure if I had a good set of rubbers (read Nitto NeoGens) I wouldn't have this problem right now....

Any thoughts on the link I posted?

IMO I would NOT buy from that site unless I had read MANY good reviews on it. Our wheels are almost 500$ a piece from the dealership.

Yeah I saw that, but for 500 a piece I may as well buy a set of aftermarket rims that are lighter. I just like how the stock ones look....:(

And here is the Google review page as well

I had ordered the wrong hubcap and called & left a message for company to call back so I could exchange the wrong hubcap for the correct one and have never recieved a reply back. When I call all I ever get is voicemail.

Those reviews are harsh so of course your stepping away right? and when it comes to that other place just do the same thing, find reviews of them, if they are all bad then walk away and find another place. Just be safe when your ordering from places like that. You'd probably have better luck on ebay?

So since it's 4:35am...


Your pissed at Taco Bell because you failed twice to drive without hitting the curb?

It's not like the ground jumped in front of you.... and turned the curb so you'd rub against it.


LOL Next mod should be..


Pay attention, Maybe Tom can install a camera system for you so you can see where your wheels are..
