        Also, suggestions for tire sizes please.

        205/50/16 is what I got at the moment.

          225/45/16 or ban.

          I'll also buy them if you're ever interested.

            Never. These are NEVER leaving my hands. I've been looking for this size/width/offset/style/condition forever.

            Anyways, does anyone know why these are "bubble gum"? It's been bothering me, I don't want to run them if they're prone to breaking...

            And I would do that tire, but I already got 205's. So ban me.

              Please explain to me how you can pay someone to straighten out a flat spot on a tire???


              :p

              Yes Dan, driving on them, will cure the flat spot. hell, throw it on the back, make your little M-fo-tooo work for all its got and do some power slides, that will cure the flatspot too.


              No idea what the wheels are, but the center caps are kinda fugly. Cool find though dude.

                    Damn nice find. If they are cheap knock offs they would be
                    fake three piece correct?

                      Yea, but they're definitely real three piece, the outer lip is new and has new sealant.

                      I dunno how else to figure if they really are or not. Quit bringing me down! I want these wheels to NOT break, NOT suck, and NOT be worth what I paid...

                      Oh and I'm still running 205's EUROSTRECH here I come...unless someone wants to trade 205/50's for 225/45's, hah.
