Nothing went wrong, just have to get the car to fit the wheels now.

Wheels came out exactly as I wanted with the bubble step.
I just dislike that I have a rear beam which means getting camber isn't really fun.

Meanwhile, my wheel decision is fuckedddddd.
Gotta figure out how I can get them to fit.

haha that fitment life. time for body works

[Beware]

Almost all of my sales of wheels that have been refinished have been an issue anyway. When the ccws were glow in the dark and purple i had a guy pull out at $1600 because he realized they wouldnt fit without modifying. Then when i had the lips repolished, blasted and painted the centers, i struggled to get 2k including shipping... when you go wide theres always gonna be dramas. No one has balls in this country.

The two sets im building currently i know will have issues trying to sell here. When/if the time comes ill prob ship them to the us and sell them there. Will cost more, but will lose less overall. Especially if the exchange rate stays as it is.


As per usual there's lots of good stuff in here though.

I've lost on some, but gained on others, so it's kind of balanced out. I bought my 4 sets for the BMW when our dollar was really strong, but I over spent on 2 sets and didn't on the others(which I never used), but I didn't really have trouble selling any of them as they were pretty safe finishes, even though they were wide. The US is definitely the place to sell if you want top dollar, people just won't pay it here....although I did get very good monies for my Breytons because the guy knew they were special and wanted them and has the balls.

Any 4x110 Japanese wheels I manage to sell pretty easily, because the Mazda scene hasn't progressed enough past Simmons to go searching abroad and therefore will jump on anything different being sold local. I've really only struggled with one set(13in 01's), which ended up going to a guy with a Mira. I know I'll struggle with my current set I'm doing(not for the Mazda), but I might end up just keeping them aside and selling them on the car which might be the easiest way.

And just to add a pic to this thread....have a shitty phone pic of my 1200

it unfortunate how the scene is. people are either too cheap or too pussy to push the boundaries. all the new kids (not all) only play within the limits that their car allow them.

[SebastienPeek]

Yeah, I have a feeling I won't be able to resell the RS'.

But then again, I probably don't want too.

[Oxer]

True. Do you play it safe, no one disapproves and sales are easier.....or do you go risky, have some dislikers and have trouble selling?
