Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Alloys are basically your rims, and stock rims that you prob are referring too are what we call steelies which are basically a steel rim with a plastic hubcap cover.

        Nope, you don't have stock rims. You have steelies, which only have the plastic hubcap on top. Stock rims are alloys. Which don't have hubcaps. If that makes sense

          yea it does. thanks. while im on the matter of rims, if i bought 17" rims and new tires, would that affect tire clearance from the wheel well if its at stock height? im pretty sure it wont, but just to make sure.

            As long as you get the right size tire with the 17s you'll be alright. Any place you order from should be able to help you out with that.

              I know this is a very old post but there are some websites out there that let you put in your vehicle make and model along with stock tire size and it will tell you with a different sized rim what size tire you will need to make the proper fit and you can usually see how that change will affect your speedo.

                come mounted with the right size of tires so you don't have to do anything
                uh... if by overboosted you mean "right the fuck on" then, sure, it is.

                  HAHA thats the funniest shit ive ever heard... haha! youre the man!

                  Anyways, the plastic ones are common, and to me, look worse than the alloys. Alloys actually have spokes, while the plastic ones... well, dont.

                    u can buy my rims to find out
                    knowledge is everything with experience on hand then just hearing word of mouth doesnt prove you can do anything
