Should I keep these wheels???
Alright guys... I have a post needing help with my 3 piece wheels. I got a quote from MC3 for $1500 for all new inner barrels plus new outer lip barrels for both fronts to have a more aggressive offset... BUT, I'm debating to see if I should fix these up OR save another $1000-$1500 and buy a new set down the road... I bought these from RB Wheels for $2k (I now know I overpaid for them), and then found that the inner barrels were damaged and repaired by them (I should've sent it back right away but I didn't), which is now why I have to replace the inner barrels because they all have cracks. A lot of regrets but what is done is done... it's a learning mistake - a hefty one...
SUGGESTIONS are great. Thanks in advance!!!
Wheels:
Auto Couture Magnifique
19x9 +32 (redo to a +15) 1.5" lip
19x10 +22 3" lip

Thanks for the no threadjacking...
I like them, but I don't love them... maybe if they were fixed I'd love 'em... lol. But I feel like I can get nicer/better wheels if I saved a few more hundo's on top of the $1500 I'm gonna have to spend to fix them. That's the deciding factor...

haha... Thanks Andy. What set are you talking about? These wheels aren't worth much the way they are. I'm thinkin I can buy a nicer set if I saved up some more money along with the money I'm gonna have to repair it. Nothin on your part and pricing since we've already established it in the other post.
Let me know what you can get me! I'm gonna have to take everything into consideration.
Thanks!

I think $1500 is not bad for basically a new set of rims. Maybe it's just me but I would just hate to have rims that I like and just scrap them. Also off topic, how do you like the Nankang NSII's? How was road noise and ride quality?

Nangkang's are bang for the buck... decent ride and low road noise.

I ended up paying a lot for my Walds too, but I liked them and thought it was worth it. Combined two sets to get a set with conservative offsets (+32 front +37 rear), and one set less conservative with +24 all around which I have no use for at the moment
Came from RB also, Had a crack in one of them too
If I look back at it now, I had better buy one set new. However, it seems like you're already stuck with your wheels and can't get all of your money back
