Default Can't decide, keep or sell new wheels?




I had some CT Wheels/Centerline Forged wheels made, @ 19x10/11 +4/+9 and can't decide if I want to sell them. On cheapy 18" RPF1s right now and could use the extra money for other stuff. I really like the RPF1s for daily, nicked one the other day and didn't bother me much.

Just wanted some opinions, sell or rock the 19s?

Mods: Just noticed this is in tech, please move to proper area. Thanks.

I vote to use the 19's. it sounds like you are getting bored of the rpf1's and whenever that happens to me i change my setup.

I like the new wheel and I am a sucker for deep dish lips If you do need to sell them there will always be more wheels and more custom wheels to be had unless you got these for a stupid good deal then its hard to say you could be it. I am a fan of RPF1's as they are light weight and don't look bad and you can also sell those as well if needed.

Good luck with what ever you end up doing

Thanks,
Dallin

Nice wheels, sucks that the offset is crummy. Just off them to someone who wants the HellaGay look

Did you mount one and see what it'll look like. Depends how they sit and if you need spacers . Hella flush is not gay its a style just like your positive offsets and square set ups.. h8ters.

terrasmak is just getting me back at some comment I made about his red car a while back.

Not aggressive enough to be hellafrush. It will only be .5" further out than the RPF1s. Still good for 285 tires.

17mm extra up front and 12mm rear. It can be made to work, the front may be able to get a 277 and a rear 285

Most likely going to run 245/275 since those are the 19" tires I have.

Judging from your post OP and what you wrote:

1. If you will actually mount and use the new wheels, with NO problem about cash...keep them.

2. If there is ANY problem with cash, sell them.

That is my philosophy with our expensive z hobby. I try not to over extend cash on the car when there are many other important things - unfortunately - money can go to.

Sell those 19's.

Oh, wait. Keep them. Sell the RPF's.

No, changed my mind. Keep the RPF's and keep the 19's. No, no. That's not it. Wait.

Uhm, sell both sets if you need the money.

LOL I'm not having financial issues/problems, if I were I would sell one of my cars. I can't decide if I want to run bling wheels, it's the look I question. Something that's bothered me has been not having BBK (might not fit with these wheels @ med disk) hence other stuff. I also want a new rear diff with 3.9 fd.
