Check out the Havoc wheels.... I can get them for $1000 set delivered... Black Chrome or Bright Chrome. And that is the NEW Perma Chrome, NOT like the old style chrome plating! I had the same thing with vibration on my 24's for my Denali. DUB cast wheels sucked. I went for a three piece and BAM, NO more vibration and hell-of-a-lot lighter wheel....

I don't even see how a cast wheel CAN do that new. But 3 piece are assembled. Mine are 3 piece and took forever to make them half way right. But now it's the finish that's horrible.

I get why they are shedding the paint. But why the hell sell them if they do that?

I had the 24" BIG HOMIES and could NOT get them to drive without the shake... PLUS they were hell heavy!

If I can find some 19s or 20s for that it will be. I'm still looking. IF I find some. If not then it's 3k and I'll put the car on jackstands.

I feel your pain man... The issues I had when I bought a set of used Iforged senekas were terrible. Cost me over 4K and they still dont fit right, its actually partly responsible for me selling my car lol. Good luck with the sale.

Toasty · 07-08-2011, 09:33 PM

have you checked out best wheel deals? (site sponsor) ?

Toasty · 07-08-2011, 09:45 PM

thought about keeping the tires and getting different 22's instead?

Lexani LX-15's would not look too shabby on the PQ Mobile

or wait... how about some like this?

Problem is finding a set of 19s or 20s with the proper offsets like I have now, for a low price.

I was warned and I didn't listen. The performance loss of 22 inch wheels, light weight or not, is amazing. No way in hell I'd go with another set of 22s.

You forgot the "Low Price" part.

*Mindz* · 07-10-2011, 02:12 AM

Randy, I'll call you tomorrow. I want to get some info from you about the wheels.

*mlee* · 07-10-2011, 02:21 AM

You pretty much have to have 2 set's of wheels if you have 22's... one for show and one for go... If you do go for 18's or 20's w/ DR's as a daily driver get ready to replace tires regularly, but it's probably the best way to go since you don't have to swap wheels and store the extra set...

Admitedly, they are within, "300.00 per wheel brand new", type spec. But I can't stand the vibraton anymore. Even the little that's left.

is that supposed to be three hundred thousandths inch tolerance? or three thousandths inch?
