dunefreak Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Well, last weekend me and dunieminkie were blasting across the woops going to comp and smacked a basketball sized rock sitting at the top of one of the woops. :rainbow1: Oops. So now I need some wheels. I want to get some decent (strong) wheels. The spare set I have- one of them got bent went I landed bad and broke my spindle on NewYears weekend. I will probably need 15x4 or 4.5 I think. I am running 15x5.90 implements. Anyone know of the best place to get em for cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Damn freak your hard on your stuff.. lol.. 2 sets of wheels in 3 weeks.. I have a Hillbilly idea... You have one good wheel from each set... just swap a tire over to get you by until you get new ones.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Not sure these would work but happened to see them posted on Gd.com http://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/index....showtopic=62242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCS T Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Check with Valley performance (247-1266) for the wheels, then send off to OMF (speak to Bones#951-354-8272) for bead reinforcing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Looks like your implements are workin on goin kaput too... Noticing the cracks right around where the bead is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Looks like your implements are workin on goin kaput too... Noticing the cracks right around where the bead is.. cracks??? I think your seeing the tire sealer that seeped out a bit while driving. The tires are still in good shape- still going to use em unless I find a set I like better.

EY3BA11 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 sure looks like cracks but pictures can be decieving... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don29palms Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I got an idea. Use a big effin hammer and straighten out the old ones. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Pete, not sure of what type wheels you need but this just got posted on glamisdunes.com. VW wheels is that what you need? http://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/index....showtopic=65791 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I dont think SSC supports the Wide 5 pattern or even makes Spindles for them... Im pretty sure Freak is stuck w/ his current style... and as light as his car is this way is no big deal... not heavy enough to put that much force like copper did over on GD..

rcjunky3 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 how about having your wheels fixed. my pops had an aluminum front vw wheel fixed one time it was bent over far enough that we couldnt get to the lugnut without bending it back.

EY3BA11 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I have also seen one that bad pounded back to submission and hold air as well.. Block of wood and a BFH did the trick.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don29palms Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) One of the wheels on my Banshee got tore up by Daniel. A big hammer, a piece of 2x4 and a little muscle and BAM good as new.

dunefreak Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Uhh good idea I guess, but I'm just gonna get new ones. Thanks guys. :shocked2: :mc_smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvnalolife Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I really don't think a hammer will help him. The rim is toast. I wonder if the shine shop or someone else can fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'm getting new ones regardless. It's gonna cost just as much or barley more for a new one than it will cost to get that thing fixed. :mc_smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
