hopefully it never happens to me

 

that thing looks like it had corrosion building inside of its spokes!

 

Regardless if she bought them new or used sue xxr company and get some money out of them....

 

dam sucks

 

Actually, it makes quite a bit of sense. Replacing perfectly fine, relatively strong stock wheels with a POS solely for the sake of a look is rice. If the owner didn't rice out the car, this would not have happened. Seems pretty easy to comprehend from here.

 

If you need a dedicated set of winter wheels I wouldn't think this would happen when buying somewhat of a well known brand. Too say this is rice is wrong, just trying to save some money.

 

Glad everyone was okay, but as most have said, with cheap wheels there's always that risk.

 

Classic response to every thing....for shame...good luck trying, and when they lose and have to pay even MORE in court fees, how does anyone win from that situation?

I wouldn't go as far to say "Rice" - they were bought as a set of winter rims to be used when they would be damaged and attacked by snow and salt and all other forms of grossness. I, personally, am not going to spend over $500 for a set of rims just to use them to get eaten up and destroyed by the winter elements. I put a set of PT Cruiser rims on my WRX for winter - 16" chrome P.O.S rims for $165 and they worked amazing. Rice? No. Gross? Oh F**K yea.

 

Wow. Goes to show you, you get what you pay for with wheels. Glad your friend is okay though, this could have been deadly if it happend at 70mph on the highway

 

You're lucky this happened at a low speed and no one was hurt!! Sorry you had to learn your lesson the hard way, don't cheap out on a VERY important piece of the car next time.

 

dam that's fcking nuts

 

Then just pick up a used set of stockers. Evo 8 enkies are pretty ugly and cheap. Heck, if you don't like those, get some 9 enkies!

But oh no! Your car might look stock! What a travesty!

 

I'm glad that you're the only person that got the meaning. So many tards on this forum.

 

I have stockies on my car, and would gladly pick up a second set for winter. Notice I said I did it on my WRX - cause let's be realistic, it's a WRX, who gives a fawk!
I would never roll with cheap crap on this car, way to much at stake and I am hoping that by next winter I won't even have to drive it, haha.

 

That sucks, im glad everyone was ok.

Wheels are some thing it doesn't pay to cheep out on.
