Default Decisions, Decisions...

I know, I know, you told me that giovanna was not a good company but I need some new shoes for my baby my summer long search for some Dronell CA-05's turned up empty and as soon as I dont come to Cl for a week J_Rok sells a set hot out the box so a friend of mines brother in law is selling his Giovanna Capri's for 1200 w/tires minor curb rash but only noticable to CL members and chubby kids with bifocals so should I sit on my money and wait to the warm weather hits or cop out and be doing it big @ Howards Homecoming HELP?

Heed the advice previously given...wait for the wheels you really want and have no regrets.

I also recommend waiting. But if you don't wanna wait too long here's a couple relatively low priced wheels that seem to be okay.
Alba wheels. I had a set. Guaranteed 3 year warranty. Triple chrome plated. There are some 3 piece wheels that don't come with that much warranty.
Axis wheels. Nothing but good stuff heard about them.
Decorsa wheels, again, heard nothing but good stuff.
MKW wheels. Had a set. Chrome plating was excellent.

Again, I agree on getting quality but you don't always have to spend $4k to get it.

No Giovanna. Seen too many of them at the wheel shop returned because of poor craftsmanship.

Bmore...wait and get what you really want. I like my 19s...really like them...but I originally had my heart set on 20s and now I find myself looking again. Wait and buy once.
As for the HU homecoming...C'mon bro...with ALL those women there do you really think anybody is going to pay attn. to your wheels for more than a hot sec.? (ha ha)
Ahhhh, I remember the days. GREAT flashbacks.

Hey, not to get your hopes up. But i "SOLD" these on ebay. But i have yet to hear from the high bidder about payment. If he does not get to me by next week. i will have to report him, and put these back up for sale. I will keep you posted.

But i hope they get back to me.

Thanks
J
