joedirtae09 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 did you read that the center caps arent included... arent those like $50-60 for a set? that seems kinda sketchy to me, why not offer them for an additonal price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subyduby-doo Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 This is a legit website & the wheels are all reconditioned oem wheels. Where stated they are replicas. ____Spending funds in mass quantities! I keep telling myself it's just a hobby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Is there a difference? Don't you think someone you are willing to spend $500 with should know that?

Subyduby-doo Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Oem is silver and gold. Wheel is just another name rim. Just different jargon. Which I'm sure you knew. Rims is generally used when referring to aftermarket. Wheel is generally used when referring to oem equipment. ____Spending funds in mass quantities! I keep telling myself it's just a hobby?

BigTDogg MA Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Oem is silver and gold. Wheel is just another name rim. Just different jargon. Which I'm sure you knew. Rims is generally used when referring to aftermarket. Wheel is generally used when referring to oem equipment. Vice versa, rim is slang for wheel. If you're ghetto you refer to wheels as "reemz". Typically ricers and herra frush tools refer to wheels as rims. Technically, the rim is a part of the wheel. Sorry, pet peeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camflan Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Oem is silver and gold. Wheel is just another name rim. Just different jargon. Which I'm sure you knew. Rims is generally used when referring to aftermarket. Wheel is generally used when referring to oem equipment. Rim is actually another term for what is called the "barrel". This is really only important when talking about multi-piece wheels, where there would be: 1. Barrel / Rim 2. Face / Center / Spokes 3. Lip (on a 3 piece wheel) But now it's just another slang term for wheel, just like all the other idiotic terms: shoes, dubs, rimz, mags (which is actually a term for Magnesium wheels, which are only used in expensive race wheels), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subyduby-doo Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yes. Originally slang, but now almost universally accepted. You even see it on websites. ____Spending funds in mass quantities! I keep telling myself it's just a hobby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJr Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I tried to contact this Co. via there website and it got kicked back after 4 hrs of trying. Tried to call too, message says they ony do business via the website.! 1 BBS is $245 1 is $115 I'm assuming 1 is a knockoff and 1 is a refinished OEM wheel. Either way this seller seems sketchy!

2010Legacy Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 What is a reconditioned wheel? Does it mean it was damaged previously and been "fixed"? I don't feel so comfortable with the term "reconditioned wheel" for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 recondition generally means no major repairs performed but curb rash fixed and wheel repainted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
