FAAWWWK>>> I just went to work and talked to the guy... They are not what he thought, he seen them over the weekend, and he said they are 16" TSW Blades, for 300.00 with 2 new and 2 almost bald tires. They have 205 40 16's on them, and they are Z rated performance tires. He is gonna bring them to work tomarow, if not then on thursday. Should I still get them? I was so lookin forward to Tarmacs, but I duno, I think I like them, much better than my 14" steeliez. What do you guys/girlz think? Should I go with them?

Pass on them. Don't settle for wheels you don't want just because they're cheap. If you don't like them, you'll just regret it because you'll end up losing more money in the long run.

Oh, no I like the wheels, just like I like my civic, but wouldnt you rather have a skyline? I cant afford the Sparco's maybe one day.. But these wheels will be good for now, I am sure I will come across another good deal, and sell these for as much as I got them for (maybe more) since they dont make them anymore...

I like em actually. They aren't ridiculous at all, and they show off the rotors and calipers nicely.
Just remember the long run thing. Wheel tire packages are fairly reasonable in some cases, and you never know if Aunt of Uncle dedided to drop a C-note in the old stocking this year.

I love them now that I seen them, I got 2 of them today, they dont have tires, he said they were so bald they were going flat, so he took them off, but yea, the other 2 he is bringing tomara, and they have tires with 60% left on them. So I cant wait to get 2 new tires and put them on! The powdercoat is chiping off, so I am gonna have them striped and powdercoated, or have my uncle spray them black. I wanted to know if its possible to fix a rurb mark on a wheel with a little bondo? Or will that not last? I was thinking of doin this and then painting them, is it a bad idea?

What does that have to do with this?

Also I got all 4, and need to know if I can touch these wheels up with bondo? If not I will just paind them the way they are. I need to know befor tuesday!
The curbing is not bad at all, its not even close to as some piting I have seen on steel wheels. Its just I am not sure if I can use bondo, because its on the lip of the wheel...?
