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

Well said. Buy what you want. It will be cheaper in the long run. Ask me how I know.

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
