in a predicament

ZoomZoomMFer · December 1st, 2008, 08:53 PM

ok guys i have a problem.... i just recently ordered my wheels off of 50resto because i am desperately in need of tires... about a week later i do some research on the brand to make sure they are good wheels. come to find out they are a brand made by resto themselves.. and that they are brand new and HAVE NOT EVEN RECEIVED THEM YET!.. so i sent them a email asking when are due to be in, and i got a reply of "they should be in the first week of JANUARY." and there are tons of people waiting on these wheel. which then means that i probably wont receive them until the end of january.. My question for you guys is, should i wait it out and get these, and spend the money to buy tires for my stockers and turn around and buy tires again for the new ones? or try to find a different set?

You can get very simalar wheels to that made by different brands. All that is is a 10th anniversary cobra mostly

Mickey · December 1st, 2008, 09:07 PM

I would try and ride it out with the wheels and tires you have now and wait for the new wheels to come in...just take it easy on the tires you have now...how worn are they?

Drick · December 1st, 2008, 09:08 PM

Unless you got steel belts hanging out your good. Just take it easy in the rain

Seriously a kid in my high schools tires where so worn the fucking belts hung out they where dangerous

ZoomZoomMFer · December 1st, 2008, 09:08 PM

completely bald in some parts....

01BlkGT · December 1st, 2008, 09:09 PM

i agree take it easy on your tires and wait for these. they only make those in 17's though right? you could also buy some used tires just to make it till then

ponygrrl · December 1st, 2008, 09:10 PM

Go buy a take-off set of tires to get you through a couple months. Try dealerships or tire shops. Look on forums even to see if anyone's selling used tires for cheap too. If you're like me, you'll regret not getting them later down the road. See what you can do to get by for now.

ZoomZoomMFer · December 1st, 2008, 09:11 PM

ya ill try that... i just dont know how long its going to take once the receive them

Mickey · December 1st, 2008, 09:15 PM

I'm not sure how they work but I'm sure it's similar to Wheel Replicas. The ship comes on from Japan or China or wherever... Truck freight gets em to the distributor. Once they get them in, they usually ship same or next day. Call them back the first or second week in January and they will have a better idea. I had the same issue when I ordered my FR500s 2-3 years ago. I waited 3 months.

06RedfireGT · December 1st, 2008, 09:17 PM

Look around and see if you can find another vendor for them. If not, maybe just try to find some used tires till they come in. I am highly opposed to driving on bald tires.

ZoomZoomMFer · December 1st, 2008, 09:24 PM

ya me too... really scary in the rain..

but with other vendors.. i have never seen others like these before...

ya im going to call them tomorrow to get a better idea
