Replacement Rims
I recently purchased a 2007 Roadster with 37,000 mi. The rims had quite a few scratches/gouges/curb rash on them. I went to get new tires today. The technician noticed one of the rims has also been bent pretty bad on the inside. So I am considering replacing all four rims and was looking at Alloy Crossfire Replacement Rims from a place called the Wheelership (https://www.wheelership.com/brand-ne...-rim-2229.html).
Does anyone have any advise on using aftermarket rims, or perhaps experience using products from the Wheelership? I would appreciate it if anyone could please share any of their experience or advise. Thank you. |
Re: Replacement Rims
Just from what I read, I would give them a try.

Re: Replacement Rims
Thank you! I can get all four rims for about $650 shipped. They look good. I knew my rims looked pretty rough. But I did not know one of my rims was bent. Its bent pretty bad, but not visible from the outside.

Re: Replacement Rims
I went aftermarket.
I have esr sr08 Front 18x8.5 +30, Yokohama avid Rear 19x10.5 +22 michelin A/S ZP 285/35 Stock height. Was going to go tsw rotary forged, but decided to try these out, I like them. I wanted wider and lighter, and these are a good price. I have details in my thread 19x10 or 19x10.5 |
Re: Replacement Rims
Thank you for this information, but I need to keep the stock size, as I already have the tires. I just ordered the stock size for $557.56 delivered.

I went to several sites the closest they make that wheel in bolt pattern wise is a 5x114.3 pattern. Redrilling the wheels to the 5X112 makes me a bit concerned. |

I posted pics on my thread 19x10 or 19x10.5 has pics of the holes, they are not filled and drilled, or drilled with a additional holes, some use a 5x114.3 pattern with wobble bolts, that are made for mounting a 114.3 on a 112. I also posted the clearances pics. put many miles on and been running great. |

I now have new Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric All Season Tires and new wheels. About $1600 total. Overall, I'm very happy. :D |

. :D when I bought my I had them put each one on the balancer before mounting the tires. ANY wheel better be true |
