Help with rim decision!

STANG302 · Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:33 am

After bending one of my rims a while ago and being unsucsesful in selling them so far. I need to make a decision replace the bent rim at $130 or purchase anouther set. I found a great deal on the 16 spoke FR tuner wheels for $59 a peace so for a little more than $100 I can have a brand spanking new set of rims ready to go next summer. Please help me decide!

It all depends on how much time you like to spend cleaning your wheels

the more spokes, the longer it takes to do it right. And weight/strength have alot to do with it, since you are big into auto crossing

These look nice but are a pain to clean:x

These will be summer daily driver rims only. If I have time next year to autox I will be getting a seperate set of wheels and competitive tires, no more runing mid pack on crap tires. Keeping rims clean realy doesn't bother me much.

Man they weren't that hard to clean when I had them. Just a rag and spary cleaner a couple times a week, and dodge dirty roads
