Diamonds Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Wheel Medic did an outstanding job rebarreling my rear wheels. They allowed me to take the wheels and test fit them multiple times. Brice and the crew came through big time when it came down to cuttign the once-welded 3 piece wheels and saved the OEM outer lip thus allowing me to sell them and recoup some of my money. Also, they were able to source 6 inch lips where most places can only find 5 inch lips. The prices were extremely competetive as well and the turnaround was handled with great attention to my wheels. Plus, they were patient with me. Simply outstanding. I would rec them to anyone. OLD Vs. New http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/156592_10100834297074004_2037614908_n.jpg Before Tires http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/529895_10100838039374404_417245978_n.jpg http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/546525_10100838088061834_1252367672_n.jpg After Tires http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/251886_10100905293461674_930797442_n.jpg http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/547126_10100905296400784_1441927042_n.jpg With centercaps http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/179967_10100905375407454_543782108_n.jpg Edited June 18, 2012 by Diamonds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 where's the rest of the tire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Ok, another thing I've been curious about with this style of wheel/tire combo: Why not go with a stickier tire like a Dunlop Direzza Z1? I'm not sure if I've ever seen a stretched Extreme Performance tire. They always seem to be tires with this style of tread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 SO you went the extra mile and got 6 in lips and then bought 4in tires :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ok, another thing I've been curious about with this style of wheel/tire combo: Why not go with a stickier tire like a Dunlop Direzza Z1? I'm not sure if I've ever seen a stretched Extreme Performance tire. They always seem to be tires with this style of tread. Im not looking for sticky. Federals are decent for the price. S-chassis people swear by them for drifting. I will let you know what I think about them once I drive on them. And to Buckeye... they are a 10.5 inch tire on a wheel that is 11.5 inches wide. And they are known to run a bit wider. I expected a bit more stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34bboley Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 why spend 250 or 300 a 40k tire to get 500 miles out of them "if flipped" ronnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
