for the price your can't beat it...style and looks. I hit some krazee potholes and train tracks and it seems strong enough to withstand those.

not feeling them at all, but you get what you pay for, at least you didn't pay for them!

My point is that he didn't pay for them so it's a deal (kind of), if he did pay, it would have been a total loss. Does that explain better?

why is it a total loss? the rims are awesome! I love how they look and how flush it sits with the G. Only complaint is that they are the same weight as the OEM 18" but if i wanted lightweight rims i'd have to spend 3-4 times the amount. These will be good enough for the canyon runs until the volk or ssr sponsorship arrives

I'd go with SSR if those are your next two options.

lastchance only paid double that lol...

I actually like the look. I'm a big fan of the LM'S.
Do you happen to know how they make these? Casting process? Just curious

edited: That rear fitment is very aggressive. Can you take a back pic to see how much it sticks out?

it looks like it has room for bbks but i can't confirm since i have puny calipers but i'll see if one of the LA:G's with bbks wants to try them on
