Default expensive taste
i hate the fact every time i find something i like it always costs a grip. I have been looking around for a new set of wheels but i keep coming back to the weds vishunu wheels. I really dont want to buy a other multi-piece wheel again but i dont think i would be completely happy if i go another route also who is a reputable shop where I can order and they can help me on getting my offsets right

Sounds like your mind is already made up. Do it once, do it right

I didnt want to spend the money for a set of work wheels. So I went with a set of linea corse. They are a nice wheel for the money. I just recently purchased a set of work wheels and couldnt be happiers. It was the wheels I always wanted. I am amazed at the quality of them.

Those are the wheels I wanted too but didn't want to copy Jon Jon. They're sick. Wheels can make or break a car!

and just to mention sffd103 ur ride is "f n" sick i dont see how your ride with your rear that low. i can ride with the tire tucked but once the rim is about even with the fender my tire will rub on the bags if i hit a bump. i have already had to replace my rear bags from riding to low and cambered it rubbed a hole straight through the bag
