A few months ago I got into an accident and posted pics. More info here:
Messed up my G - MyG37

It has been over 3 months and I'm Starting to get pissed. All I keep getting is excuses and delays, the car was promised for yesterday and I went today and this is what I saw:


Paint job is done and the mirrors are installed. Glass has not being replaced yet and that was the biggest job after the body work. I suspect my car will be there for another week.

Now what pisses me off the most is that they ordered the wrong rims. My stock 19's were badly rashes and the tires had maybe 6 more months of life left. So I decided to might as well get a set of 20's with new tires since he offered a very attractive price. The rims available were either those in the picture or TE37 replicas in black. I went with the replicas because I like the concave look on the rear tires.

I'm gonna get this out of the way. Yes they're cheap rims, yes maybe I should of kept the stock 19's, and yes many consider that any replica rims are gay. My question is very simple: should I just bite the bullet and keep those rims that are already in the car, or send them back? I like 5 spoke rims, most of my cars I installed 5 spoke rims and I kinda dig the deep dish and how they show off the big akebonos. But somehow I kinda feel like they belong on a donked out 80's regal. Need some feedback!

 

I'll say keep those... (But only because I will not support replicas. )

 

What are the rims in the picture? They don't look bad at all.

 

If the rims in the pic are the ones on the car now...then I say keep them. I think they look good!

 

I think the problem I have with those rims is that they look too blinged out. I wonder how they would look if the spokes were black. I wanted black rims because it should contrast well with the CF hood/trunk/spoiler and black roof. I can't back off the rim deal because the stock 19's were traded in. I think these rims are starting to grow on me but I'm still upset because it's not what I ordered.

Maybe I can keep them and try to work out a discount due to all the headaches this guy has given me for the past 3+ months?

 

That's an idea. I'm sorry for your misfortunes. Another option might be to see if this guy can powdercoat the current wheels for you? Or, if not, maybe he knows someone who can...

 

Those look like MRR GT5s, I'm pretty sure they are. They're so so, not really my thing although I did consider them 2 years ago when I was getting wheels. I'd say try for something else if you can and if you're willing to deal with the hassle.

 

those rims are nice. it looks just like vossen 084 or is it the same one?

 

Can't tell from much from that pic, kinda looks like a maya knock off too.... IMO, if those lips are polished rather than stainless, I'd get the lips painted black to tone it down. I've never been a fan of dull looking polised lips....

 

Thank you! I couldn't remember the model for the life of me but after a quick google search looks like those are MRR GT5.

 

I don't like those wheels at all. Go with stock haha.

 

yeah those wheels need to go

 

I'm pretty sure they're polished. Just gotta take care of them and touch them up at least once a week.

 

ya a little to blinged out for my taste.

 

+1 I've had two sets of 5 spokes and just don't feel they look right on the coupe.
Hope you get your car soon though man!
