WTB: Wheels

[randerson165]

I just want some wheels to put on the front of my ride when I go to the mountain. I just need 2 wheels with tires so that when I put chains on, they won't tear the hell out of my si rims, they will just eat up my beater rims.

 

[knowledge]

I got some 17" Konig flatlines in Black Opel. I want $700 for all 4 with Falken tires on them. 205-40-17's New fk451's on 2 and some descent ziex on the other 2.

umm no! It is called a suggestion. If you don't want them then don't be a dick and say no thanks! You are the one looking for shit not me.

so that's a no on the steelies bro? 200 bills shipping for all four with brand new snow tires, still got the stickers on them and I have th reciept from the shop

No thanks, I'm not sure that 13" steelies will fit. My other civic is a 96 sedan dx and it has some 13" wheels on it and they didn't fit on my civic, the brake caliper was too big. I thought that was odd....

and for knowledge, I wasn't being a dick, a little sarcastic maybe but not a dick. Also, why would I buy $700 rims to fuck up in the snow ? If you want to sell your rims, start your own post.

spacers ? how do they work ? are they good or bad ? how much ? will my car look like some monte carlo lowrider ?

Haha.. no. They are very thin round aluminum discs(probably 5mm for the pep boys spacers), kinda like a big 7" washer, with 4 or 8 holes drilled out around the band where the lugs go through. You just stick them on the hub before you install the wheels, & they space the wheel 5mm further away from the hub(& calipers). No need to use special studs or lugs with a thin spacer such as 5mm... they're pretty cheap also, probably $20-$30.
