Furstrated But Happy! Thanks WHEELDUDE!

Hey guys,

So, I've been wheel shopping for a few days now--saving up for about a year--and was going to go with Volk GTS in Merc Silver but was a day late. Evidently, one of you scallywags hopped on them before I could. Which was probably for the best since I had just enough for the rims and would've had to save up for a few additional months for the tires and mounting. Although I got the "green-light" from the Missus, I felt guilty about breaking that much bread on a set of wheels, albeit, Volks.

I was roaming through the wheels/tires section looking for the "right" wheel set up for me. I wanted a silver-ish wheel, in 19" with aggressive but not "froggy-ridiculous" offsets and they had to be TPMS compatible. I'm pretty anal and the orange light would have driven me insane. Banding is out of the question because I drive with my young son in the car sometimes and don't want to gamble. The "adaptors" would have been too much of a hassle for me and may have driven me beyond a conscionable price-range.

I found this: http://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-t...a-got-lip.html

I've been PM'ing Dan from WHEELDUDE about the P45s in 19" but changed my mind when I saw the Linea Corse Dyna. He broke down the differences between the two wheels for me and the Dyna is just too awesome to pass up. He gave me a fair price on the wheels and on some blue lug nuts. He also, was kind enough to hook me up with a tire/wheel shop that will swap out my TPMS from my OEM rims (for sale in the Private Marketplace by the way

http://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tires...-area-sac.html) and got a quote for me. After all the frustration of trying to find consistent information on wheels, I found solace with WHEELDUDE. They were professional, courteous, and best of all--knew about the rims they carried! Thanks again, Dan!

So, I'm off to have them installed a week from next and will update you guys with pics and honest impressions!

I woke up at 6:32am, and knew that today was going to be the day I thought about possibly changing my mind on which wheels to get even though I know I'm definitely getting some wheels today I'm serious. I think that after I brush my teeth and wait about 10 minutes for the toothpaste taste to leave my mouth I might have some toast with blackberry jelly on it and maybe peanut butter too maybe not. When I was headed to the kitchen I felt myself drawn to the computer so I hooked a left at the bathroom and went straight to the office because that is where I keep my computer and some books and some other stuff too I have a nice desk. So I get online and check ......

The wrong forum posts are becoming very annoying. It's like 5 a day now. Move this please mods.

Entaille · 01-22-2009, 05:37 PM

he was just giving his review on one of the best venders on the site imo. he is super friendly, even when I was asking him retarded ass questions prior to knowing much about wheels.

I'm sorry If words scare you. I guess I can be over-analytical. But then again, you didn't have to read it all...did you?! If you didn't like what you read the first two sentences, those are groups of words separated by periods [.], then you could have just stopped reading.

Enjoy your knock off rims.

Wheeldude hooked me up with some nice Rota Torques after a tire installation disaster on my short-lived Work's. Enjoy your new wheels - sounds like a great choice for your budget.

Well, I didn't read it all. I did say there were too many words. And I stick to my story.
