    okay, holy shyt! I can't get the Velox rims...Wheelmax says they don't have them

    First they do, now they don't!!!!! errrr! So I asked for my 100 bucks back as I'm not going to buy from them anymore. They never have anything in that I want...so why not just take the damn rims off their site...it's a tease. He tries to get me to buy these Exel rims that "look just the same" but they don't the exel ones have thicker spokes...damn! I wanted the RH CP8's, but they don't have those either. I have the money, but can't even buy the rims I want! So I have like 1200 bucks to spend, I guess I'll keep looking around and hope that some damn place has the rims I want.

    I'm sure you could locate them elsewhere. Try the Velox website.

    i think showstoppers may be a distributor of Velox wheels. i would see what chuck could do. be glad wheelmax didnt have the wheels. when i ordered from them about 18 months ago, they sent me the wrong color rim, then sent me the wrong rims altogether. i just kept em. see it as a blessing. wheelmax doesn't deserve your money anyway. :)

    ah oh....I just called again, because I found some that I liked:

    I don't want to pay much more than that for rims...as I want to save the money for some other rims for autoxing. They better not screw this up! Oh and they didn't have them in! :p but they said they'll be in on the 5th of May and should send them out and be at my place by the 12 or so.

    they have the velox vx8 for 139/wheel.

    they also have the vx8r

    and you can pick what tires you want between a few name brands

    Okay, you guys are going to think I've about lost my mind :D
    I saw a reply of k-series on ephatch saying there were some blue stripes...I didn't think they were noticeable, but then I got to my dorm and got on the computer here and whoa! yeah too noticeable. So I called and left a message to cancel my order with the rims.

    So now, I have bought these (Arospeed Statics) via the net, so it should be a done deal :)
    I got them for 859 with toyo Fz4 tires shipped with the lug nuts...so, it should be a done deal.

    here they are:

    oh yeah, anyone know the weight of these rims? I found out that the tires I bought weigh 21lbs.

    :D I didn't even see what you said, I assume maybe it was the other rim you didn't like?
