wheel

center
properly

:giggle:


If you are stupid then no they won't.

the issue with the diamond racing wheels is the simple fact that if you so much as even look at them wrong they bend, lol they are the weakest wheels on earth...keep a set for track use, but keep them off the roads...

hmmm.. thats odd, i always figured steel was stronger than aluminum or alloy. these are pretty solid. i doubt they would be that fragile, but then again i COULD be wrong. i guess ill let ya know as soon as i hit a pothole (which there are a lot of around here). either way im upgrading to some bigger tires so it should help protect the rims. as for weighing a million pounds, i only weighed them in at half a mil, maybe my scale was wrong? haha but seriously about 180lbs. for all 4 with 195/50/15 tires is pretty damn heavy.. its like always driving with a fat chick sittin shotgun..

damn, the fat chicks you know are pretty big, those wheels weigh a good bit more than I do.

too much money for wheels with no lip

I've used them in the past, i used them on my 87 Golf GT and my Solo 2 Rabbit GTi, they are just fine for track use but i really wouldnt touch them for street use...i got two sets and had opted for the thicker stronger ones for the street and within 6 weeks they were already bent and i wasnt jumping it or anything...

the track ones were just fine...i mean sure i beat em up and bent them but they were cheap enough that i didnt care lol

I run steel wheels on my Jeeps because of the strength. Granted, there is a lot more rubber between the rim and the ground though.

OE steelies are hardcore, diamond racing on the other hand...not ;)

The tire changers at the race tracks hate Diamond Racing Wheels as they bend so often.

[golde30]

^^ i wonder how Diamond would react to your comments. i was gonna buy a set, but iuno now.

[gotKRAUT]

i never said i think they are crap or anything, i love them and plan to buy another set once i start tracking again, but thats all im going to use them for...which is what they are made for...Racing...they arent intended as a street wheel... ;)
