might as well keep it going until I find a replacement ready to go (if I ever do)

nogoodname 08-19-2009 09:57 AM

why did they have to strip the wheels 3 times, something is wack

Caravanshaka 08-19-2009 09:59 AM

cause they have monkey's powdercoatiing their wheels...remember Dave's wheels on the "forgestar" thread...I think they are having issues with the place that is finishing their wheels and they are actually catching it in QA now.

depends on the temperature, but heat treating, while you get all of the strength properties back, does absolutely nothing for fatigue properties. so you'll have this really strong but brittle metal on your hands. i'd be worried if i heard my wheels got nuked in the oven three times...

then again, what temps are we talking about? it's too early for me to be thinking straight.

Caravanshaka 08-19-2009 10:02 AM

450 degrees phelan

nogoodname 08-19-2009 10:02 AM

there's always one rotten one in a herd...lol

Caravanshaka 08-19-2009 10:03 AM

btw, walked outside to my car and put up a ruler marked with how much further out the AME's would be and put it against the tire. Stock ride height, they'd be past the fender about 3/8" to 1/2"

FuszNissan 08-19-2009 10:04 AM

Dave had like 3 rotten one's in two different shipments too.

nogoodname 08-19-2009 10:04 AM

i dont like them....lol


wait for the Vossen, usually 3rd is a charm, but for ur powdercoater it isnt...lol

theDreamer 08-19-2009 10:05 AM

How much would the Vossen go for for a set of four?

nogoodname 08-19-2009 10:07 AM

they announced it on another forum

a set would be around a MSRP of 2300 for 20 inchers


19 inch available usually

FuszNissan 08-19-2009 10:08 AM

I am looking into that as we type

nogoodname 08-19-2009 10:09 AM

i already looked into it...lol

FuszNissan 08-19-2009 10:11 AM

MSRP.....if that is what you want to pay:)

nogoodname 08-19-2009 10:11 AM

get ur magnify glasses out and look into it then

nogoodname 08-19-2009 10:12 AM

vossen are the new trend

phelan 08-19-2009 10:13 AM

^ i think i'm behind the trend.

nogoodname 08-19-2009 10:13 AM

I really like Forgestar but this delay has been pretty long.

Caravanshaka 08-19-2009 10:16 AM

she needs less makeup...and less clothes

phelan 08-19-2009 10:16 AM

omfg is her face stretched?!

Caravanshaka 08-19-2009 10:16 AM

yup, I'm with you Dreamer...the vossens are tempting as well, but depends on what the street price is going to be, and how long until the 19"s are available in black...

nogoodname 08-19-2009 10:16 AM

i agree, the make was a bit too much

Caravanshaka 08-19-2009 10:19 AM

XwChriswX 08-19-2009 10:19 AM

nogoodname 08-19-2009 10:19 AM

phelan 08-19-2009 10:20 AM

nogoodname 08-19-2009 10:20 AM

XwChriswX 08-19-2009 10:21 AM

/\ Very true, her legs are much nicer than her face.. I agree Makeup fail.

Caravanshaka 08-19-2009 10:22 AM
