My 22" Giovannas looked good but...

sorry to hear that, only under 2 week on your car that must hurt

[Tork Monster]

That is harsh. A horrible feeling too-

Did you have any wheel locks, and if so what kind?

I am running a fulll set of Gorilla locks (all 20 lugs) and can't imagine someone getting them off without noisy tools. I am more afraid of the entire car getting stolen...

Sorry to hear this.

i know what your going through, that sucks man!!

In the words of Bill Clinton "Ahh Feel, Your Pain...."

That's why I bought cheap 22" cast wheels with a big shiny chrome finish. Under 600 for just the wheels, tires cost more than the wheels. RVM Rave is the brand. Looks good, a little heavy, but I'm still pulling 5.1 0-60's.

Again. We appreciate your love for your ride and putting some classy wheels on there, but to have anything nice in this world anymore is pretty tough.... Best of luck

damn just 2 weeks, not enough time to soak them in

[Michaelr]

Thats real bad luck. What happened to the Dub22s and Toyo you had on it as per previous post?

I actually posted that link before I had taken the car above 70mph on the freeway. The DUBS were a pain in the ass and no shop i could find could get them balanced. They even tried 2 different sets to no avail...and the wheel would wobble like crazy. Made it a dissapointment to drive...sad thing. Anyway, I returned them and paid the difference to upgrade to the Giovannas.

I am actually not minding so much that the Giovannas were stolen because, surprising as it may sound, the quality was WAY sub par. I had to go to a different tire shop (than the one I purchased from) to get them balanced because they did the same thing as the DUBS. The second tire shop I went to had a Hunter 9700 force balancer GSP9700 Road Force Measurement System, which I found after doing all kinds of research on tire balancing, and when I watched the wheel as it rotated, they were all out of round by at least 1/4 inch...it was absurd how bad it was. Not only out of round but it wobbled from side to side (not sure what that's called). This was on 2 different machine spindles. The machine would come back with a warning that "force balancing can not correct this assembly". I think I might try Asanti's or maybe go back to stock???
I am still very dissapointed that I didn't catch them doing that...it was pretty "in your face" bold and deserving of a considerable thrashing. The whole mess is eating at me right now...and I just sold the stock rims and tires 2 weeks ago!

This is why when I finally get my rims I'm investing in some good lock nuts and a top of the line security system. I'm also trying to get an apartment with a 1 car garage so I can at least sleep peacefully.

Sorry about your wheels man.

[D's300C]

get some MOZ wheels. no balancing probs with mine. they were force balanced also. been up to 100mph with them, smooth as a baby's butt
