Edited, Here are my new wheels
Posted by: kellysguy
Date: June 23, 2005 11:56AM

I got them, they are soooooo fine and I like my car now. Rewinds on ebay for $475, search for Rewind, they won't come up under Z. Discount tire told me $125 each, so I don't know what you guys are talking about. I got grafites and they look so good on my car. I've got pics that don't do them justice. But I've got no where to host them and don't know how to post.

I like the Rewinds

What size where they?
Did you get the lugs and center caps as well?
How much was shipping?

Reason I ask is that Motorsport has the 14x7s for $499 and the 15x7s for $550 with the lugs and "Z" centercaps.

After the 10% IZCC disount Motorsport would be about $450 for 14s and $495 for 15s

I wish I could afford to get some. I just spent the past 2 nights polishing up the ole 14" slotted wheels in preparation for my new tires.

No ,you don't get a club discount on the wheels, I checked already. You get a COMMERCIAL discount of 10%. Shipping was $60 same as motorsports, caps but no lugs. I got new lugs for $2.16 per 4 from a local place I have an account w/. I got 15x7 for $475 + shipping and insurance was $536.68 delivered. Screw MSA, they want too much to begin w/. They were gonna sell them to me for $500 + ship w/ my wholesale account. I ALWAYS support the guy w/ the cheaper prices and nevr get anyone to "match" them . Why give someone business when they want to overcharge you to begin w/ ?

zdawg, you've got mail, thanks Bro !!!!

Nice, Yea I didn't know you don't get the discount cause I can't afford them now anyway.

That sounds like a great deal. I searched on Ebay but only found the rewinds that are always there at $525. Of course it doesn't matter, cause like I said, can't afford them anyway.

I'm really suprised too. Car is very faded silver w/ duplicolor grafite wheel spraypaint for the stripe, outlined w/ silver 1/4" pinstripe. I did it 'cause I couldn't stand looking at what appeared to be a primered car w/ slots anymore. I looks ALOT better than these pics. I can't wait to get real paint. I'm really digging my car now. If i can just get that damn wheel shimmy out I can die a happy man.

Just got my 15X7 Graphite rewinds today. Aching to put them on but have no money for tires/mounting!!! Can anyone tell me how I can tell what the offset is on these wheels. I ordered zero but I can't find it printed on the invoice/box. Would it be cast into the wheel anywhere? Just want to be sure I got what I ordered. Invoice states that there is no refund once the wheels have been mounted. I'd hate to mount them weeks form now and find out that the offset is wrong and not be able to return them!

hehehehe, I still haven't decided yet Pete. My problem is I'm still working on the car and getting in and out while dirty. I don't want to ruin them, but I want to figure out what to do w/ them; if I can live with 'em. I was wrong, they're not GTS, they're Forza's. I PROMISE, that if I do decide to get rid of them, you have first shot. Now, if you can find me some Recaro style stockish seats in black,grey, or black and grey that I like, we can make a deal like that. I don't need superlite racing seats. I'm sure you would like them more than heavier Recaro style seats anyway. Look around the next time you're in a yard and lemme know what you find. I don't think Barry's would have anything worth while. At least I've never seen anything out there.

24TZ, measure backspacing, "o" offset should be 3.5". I was nervious about that too but mounted them anyway w/o checking.

Today, I made a little mistake while doing some spirited driving on empty mountain roads and bent two of my wheels (plus a broken rear suspension part yet to be identified).

Why is God so cruel? Now I have to buy new wheels and tyres! And do some suspension revamping! Now I have no choice but to upgrade. Oh, the pain and agony . . . lol
