Zach you wouldnt know anything about wheels and tires would you? I mean the fact that you are in the industry and all I would call you some what a professional. This kid just doesnt want to listen and its going to take a hard lesson in life for him to realise that we just might be right. I mean its not like were older, have more experience, and may just may be more educated then a highschooler. I mean its not like any of us took any engeneering classes in college. So this highschool kid must be smarter than us and must know every thing. I'm done with this thread and all I have to say is kid dont do it. Your to young to die or spend your life in jail for vehicular homicide.


Ps. The bondo wont fly off my car becuse I take my time and research things to make sure there safe and realistic. Im a responsible adult. Thats something you will learn later in life.

Doesn't he work at Discount Tire? That hardly qualifies him as an engineering professional.

Why did you start a thread if your not going to listen to anybody? your going to spend hours and hours trying to balence those and at the end of the day they will break and it will cost thousands to fix if not total your car.

without calling this fellow nasty names, I'd like to add my vote for "extremely bad idea"

If you can't afford rims, hate your current setup to the point where you'd risk your life cutting it and have it probably not look that good in the end anyway... I suggest investing in some steelies and putting shiny plastic wheel covers on them...

In this thread there are some physicists and engineers saying why it should not be done.

Could you please post your location so that I may heed your advice? Oh, and would you be so kind to post your travel itineraries in the lounge in the future so we know when to be on the lookout in case we're not already in your area?

Thanks,
Shemp

Sell your Camaro to somebody who is smart enough to have it....there are fewer and fewer LT1's out there everyday because of idiots like you.

How old are you anyway? At 13 years old I knew better than to modify a wheel....****, this isn't rocket science.

Will it weaken them: ****ing duh

Will sandblasting work: **** no

Problems with paint: ROFLMAO

You're worried about nothing but looks when you should be worried about the family you could kill. You're obviously to young to understand the world for ****...and you think you know everything. Countless people that are smarter than you have told you it's a bad idea and you refuse to listen.

Save us all the trouble and go buy a bicycle, you are not ready to own a sports car, or a civic for that matter.

Ok you are a ****ing moron! With that said... You are just like a drunk driver, knowing that you could kill someone you don't give a ****.


YOU FAIL AT LIFE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A KNUCKLE BABY!
