Speaking of Baller Wheels

[kuramaya]

Well all of this talk of Baller wheels and the thread that got locked had me decide to get some wheels today

The are Wiser Wheel Company. You can't read the size Tag anymore but the guy told me they are 17"x9" +10 Interesting size. He also said he didn't think they would fit on the 180. I wish they were +20's. I haven't decided if I will keep them or sell them yet, maybe a good track wheel for now





Now for the bad news. One of the wheels has a gash from a Curb. Can anyone tell me if this can be fixed? He was only selling 2 wheels...

[inertiadrft]

those are some nice wheels, what size/brand tires are on??

[kuramaya]

Tires are potenza 215 45's They are shit...good for one trip around the track...the wheels feel like they weigh twice as much as my Emotions... Man I hope I can get them to fit...

[yokotas13]

if not, send em to me, i can MAKE them fit

17x8 +8 fronts on my car
i have plent of room on teh innards you should too

[aa87]

Dont be a sissy, just a roll and a slight pull

[yokotas13]

should only need a roll

[kuramaya]

Buddy of mine can get the one wheel fixed for 90 bucks like new

[liv2drift045]

yea those are nice and nice size too

[AuburnRyan]

Daryl,

They're either 2 peice or 3 peice, due to the rivets.

Three piece would mean - 1 inner wheel, 1 out lip, 1 center section. Once tires are removed you'd see silicone in the middle, but you should be able to tell by looking at hte back of the wheel.

Point being- if they're three peice, you can replace that out lip on it's own from somewhere like Kodiak ( Kodiak), at the same time chosing a different size to get a different width and offset if you prefer.

But, hard to tell from the picture, as long as the tire sits in the bead that is just superficial damage to the lip, should have no real effect on holing air or safety...I just smoothed out my small knicks with sandpaper, then polished, then you should re-clear (but I didn't, just polish then every so often) - BAM- like new.

P.S. I'm running 17*9 +35 rears (-2.5 camber) with tons of space. Around +15 might be flush on my car (s13 hatch) as it's set up (camber). Also - 215 on a 9" is crazy. I have 235's with some stretch, and will consider 245's next time around as well. Up to you, I'm not that hardcore...most here would disagree with me...although that 215 stretch may help them fit "flush" with minimal modification - throw them on, judge, then go from there...

Good luck and nice find!

[chmercer]

you cant tell if its 2 or 3 piece just by looking. gotta take it apart. some wheels are 2 piece welded, with the front lip and face welded together, and the back barrel unbolts.

and yeah those wheels will fit just fine

[HyperTek]

bjork your car will be pimp if you put those on!!!!!

i think these are simular

[A Spec Products]

smart man, he didnt post his cost

thats how u dooooz it son!

so he can make moneys for the honeys!

if they are 17x9+10 that is bad ass, id keep them

but the only downside is the multidrill pattern (makes it look funny)

oh, only pair? booooo

[LB.Motoring]

yah if had the caps, would look very clean. I think they continue the spokes in, and cover the lugs up to the center cap

[~4N~]

Those are sick, too bad they're not a single lug pattern.

[HyperTek]

bah caps look weak gotta show ur nuts!

[kuramaya]

Thanks brothers! Nice pic Hypertek! Yeah I am gonna keep 'em. I am gonna get the lip repaired on the one wheel this weekend after I do a Power Check on the car (dyno time). I have my eyes peeled for another set... Gonna reset the camber on my back and throw them on

[LB.Motoring]

hehee find me some rizzems?

your wheels sits in 25 MM more than his lol. all he needs is to roll the lip in (which might be done alreayd)
oh yeah daryl
i forget
i have a set of wheels like the ones in my sig...same actuially but 17x9 +30 and with a 20mm spacer its still in a little bit. which woudl make them the same wheels you have

[Brian]

These look like such "typical" J wheels.
Everybody has these random lipped mesh jams.
Cool ass sizes too.

Get that Pusssssssssssssy!

[chmercer]

those lips are bizarrely shiny for the wheels looking old balls

[ejkisela]

Dizzel,

You never listen to me!! HAHAHA. I told you they would fit. My car has 9 +11 in the rear with fender lip rolled in and no tataki dashi. We just need to adjust the camber, stock arm adjustment with a little slam they will tuck. Stick with 215 or max 225 and they will be ok. Actually, they will look like my Stich.

On a side note:

Throw those crappy ass menthols away. Pick up some Lucky Strikes

[koukikat180sx]

hmm... kinda looks like old school type-c
