Need your opinion on a rim predicament..
Tuesday, June 27, 2006 11:30 AM
ok.. i just ordered some rims from Summit Racing.. planned to order 5.. but they only have 4 in gunmetal.. so i ordered those.. now i wouldnt mind having a full size spare.. and they have the same rims but in silver are left.. should i order one is silver and look into getting it painted to match? think it would be to hard to get the paint to match?

See if you can just backorder the 5th to match and wait for it.

yea there has to be another seller of this rim somewhere, don't settle for less than the actual factory colored wheel.

well heres my thinking.. is it worth the trouble? 100bucks shipped for a 18" rim aint bad(price on summit for a silver one) i have 185 left over.. what would look better.. a full size spare sitting in the trunk or my windows tinted? cuz i thinkin bout just tinting my windows..

i mean im a really careful driver.. i got 6" ground clearance and i drive like im 2" off the ground... and i can guarentee i will be even more cautious with the 18s on.... i figure most people are perfectly fine with jsut 4 so i shouldnt have to much of a problem right? but im just lookin for others view on this..

O and by discontinued i mean that Riax discontinued the rim.. not that summit just ran out of them..

full size spairs are nice to have , and even more important when you running big brakes

since most spares wont clear the large rotors


might as well order 1 for the spare , or atleast try other companies to see if they have 1 in the correct color


and you can atleast make the full size spare color coded to look good while its in the trunk for show use
