ive been looking everywhere. come to find out, it was 2 mexican guys that own a lawn business. they were told you could get a lot for "racing"rims. he was caught because he went out to a local hangout and tried to sell them. my friend called me and he stalled the guy and i called the cops. i was told he had stolen a civic si's rims and a gsr's rims. i got my rims back but i sold them to a 30 something year old guy with a white 4th gen. im getting the MR7's now. i sold them for $900 with rims and tires. im going out this weekend to see if i can get the MR7's. the stupid thing is, he went about 2 blocks from my girlfriends house one day later to try to sell them to MY FRIENDS!! people these days. i asked the cop if i could kick his ass, but he said i could be charged with assult. doesnt really matter, i was pissed, but new rims would be nice. plus, gun-metal on a black lude......nuthins SWEETER!!


-ryan-

ps..thinks for hearing me ***** guys, i jux hate theives and they all should DIE!!!

here are some choices i have for $980. thats about my price range. keep in mind its a wheel/tire combo w/ z-rated tires.

1) nippon racing Formula 1 in Bronze/white/gun-metal


2) nippon racing Taiko in gun-metal/ silver


actually, anything on this site.... nippon racing rims

here are some rims and tell me what you guys think. i want something a little different. all i see around here are silver rims and have about 5-7 spoke. take a look at the site and tell me your personal favorite. i want them sometime this weeked.
AHH! i wanna find this guy. putting me thru all this stress.


thanx,
ryan

I wouldn't have asked the cops for permission to maul the fools, I would have just done it, but I have a hair-trigger temper for sh!t like this. I would have shown Pablo the new meaning of life, trying to cross the Rio Grand w/ no legs, after his sorry @$$ was deported. What a fool. It's just good he was caught.

I don't recomend getting the nippon rims.. 2 stores that sell em acutally told me that the quality isn't there. After you mount tires and drive on them your steering wheel will wobble.. then you'll need to rebalance the tires.. but it will just happen again.. for some reason the rims won't balance correctly.

thanx, ive heard that from another friend and im glad to hear it again. as much as they weigh, and as played out they are, i may get motegi mr7. they look clean especially in gun-metal. ive got a friend with racing hart m5 painted gun-metal on his black civic with the same kit as mine. looks very clean. im also gonna get wheel locks with the combo since alot of people are getting rims stolen. i may have to wait a little bit on the rims because i took my gf shopping. we've been together for about 3 years so its all good. as much as i dun wanna admit it, i love her more than my car. well, it wont be long. im trying to get my hands on a nice digi camera for pix.

My rims have a coded lug.
I have this hella long code in my wallet
and in order to get one of the lugs off
I have to have a special wrench. If I lose
it I need the code to get the lug off.
