Talking How many sets of wheels have you gone through

Guys,

I personally have had 2 different sets of wheels in the last few months, but my best friend on here (hopefully he will chime in) has went through at least 5 sets in just a few months!!


Do any of you share the same bi-polar, indecisive wheel addiction?

I have been pretty good about the wheels, been really itching for another set though something full face either the Techarts, RUF, or HRE P40s... I think if I have a wheel with a lip and a full faced wheel besides stock I should be satisfied.

I've had two sets of stockers, and a set of the Victor Equipments, which are on the car now. I'll be buying another set of wheels for track use here shortly, and I'm leaning towards the CCW or the OZs.

Question for guys with coilovers and multiple sets of wheels..... Isnt it a pain in the *** to keep readjusting your coilovers everytime you change your wheels? If I went from my current wheels to my stocks my car would be a mess on the road

Uhm... I'm confused... Why would you need to adjust your coil overs? You do realize that messing with them will upset the balance, right? Furthermore, the wheel/tire combo should be similar from set to set. Not really tracking why you would want to consider adjusting them.

Well if I am going from my 19" x 12" 315 rear & 19" x 9.5" 255 front to my stock setup wouldnt you adjust your suspension?

I would'nt consider adjusting my coilovers properly to my wheel size on an alignment machine "messing with them" by any means.

For instance, I would like to run my stock wheels with winter tires in the winter and my aftermarket wheels in the summer. Dont you think I would need to make some adjustments going from set to set? I havent done it because of the cost of realigning the car from wheel to wheel.
