Marco, cheaper than mine?

[Vivek]

Thanks. So just carefully hammer it all in? I was thinking it may be easier to cut a slit in it and then hammer that in (and rust proof it after of course), is that a bad idea?

[F34R]

Yes that is a bad idea, I did all my work with a ball peen hammer and a 5lbs hammer. Trick is working each section from the bottom to the center. then start is over on the next side and finish in the middle.

Do it on a hot humid day and take your time. DO NOT smash it, more of caress the metal to fold flat(first remove the rubber bead on the inside.

Paint cost more than a pro to flip them for you, this is not my first roll. Your paint is really nice, I would find a car to learn on(3-4 cars would learn you good). Or pay someone to roll them for you.

Marco, cheaper than mine?

I think the same price, but I'm offering a lot less.

Lol you guys are hilarious. Marco get adapters mayne.

Adapters won't let me run meaty tires, so no. They are also like twice the cost of a fill and drill.

[Pantless Spency]

Yeah but fill and drill makes the wheels worth nothing and adapters you can always re sell and your wheels retain there value.

[mbonanni]

That's not true at all, if I can get the wheels for $100-$200 and the drill in $300 or less I can always make my money back.

If I run wheels it will be for a long time, and coming out even is totally worth it if I decide to sell.

[decay]

e38 style 5s are not worth so much that you need to worry about "ruining the value".

shit, just this morning i saw a dog peeing on one of mine. so i shouted "GROVE STREET", kicked it in the nuts, and then peed on the wheel again myself.

little fucker better recognize.

[Cabriolet]

ya $150 for a set is ridiculously cheap

[mbonanni]

I agree $150 is cheap. I want cheaper
