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!!!

Those tires look well undersized on width for those rims looking at the stretch on the side walls?

that's not by accident.

That is not a good thing. There is a reason tires have a specified wheel width range.

Thanks for the input on the tires guys, but this topic is about if I should keep these wheels or not.

Any suggestions?

sorry but you guys really have some research to do. stretched tires are not a dangerous thing when done properly. (depending on the level of stretch).

How much do you like them?
I don't think you could recoup much money if you tried to sell them.
It seems as if you're pretty much stuck with them.

Stretching tires is a subject that has been beat to death. Lets not threadjack.

2LonG

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...

MC3 Wheels

Sell them and I'll hook you up on a new set

2LonG

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!

what did RB wheels say? just curious. I had them take a bend out and they did well.

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?

2LonG

Technically, it'll be $3500 because I paid $2k for them.

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
