I’m a normie and don’t know anything about wheels and I want to learn so when you say things like concave I don’t know what they look like and I make the assumption that the b-role is an example of what your saying please help🙏🙏

[@markyazurin6304]

Not sure if you’ve done this yet, but talk about wheel locks and lug nuts I know it’s a simple topic but there’s many real and fake brands, and some of them make wheels so easy to steal

Alex, you missed all the correct things that happen... 1. Your instagram followers triple 2. The opposite sex will find you more attractive 3. Your friends will be jealous 4. Your enemies will cry 5. You will start looking for some different wheels

When he said “when you drive in front of the mall so everybody sees you before you park.....” I felt that

[@A_Dog_Formerly_Known_As_Cat]

The mall, the grocery store, the gas station, take the longer way home, target, Walmart, work, volunteer to pick someone up at the airport because when you arrive at the loading gate it's basically stance parking only so everyone has to see you because you parked right in front of the door.

I bought wheels literally 3 weeks ago from you guys and they still aren’t here come on boys

[@xopalape22]

Dang that long? 😲 I just ordered mine like 3 days ago, and everytime i check their progress, still on "order placed", i hope i dont have to wait that long since i got some parts arriving before my rims for my A4 even tho theyre coming from almost the same distance...what a bummer 😞

[@justinrohrbacher1415]

Edgar Nunez yeah it’s really unfortunate, my wheel arrived at their facility around a week ago (mind you this is still 2 weeks after I ordered) and I was notified there was a big scratch on one of the wheels so they had to get a new one and now we are on the back end of week 3 and still nothing

[@Loppier]

You'd be surprised how much damage you can do in potholes that looks like the wheels were curbed if you have low enough profile tires

[@justinturner4850]

Also consider the compatibility of your tpms sensors, and Probably worth mentioning you’ll likely need aftermarket lugs. 👍

@@hungryowl1559 how? U need the psi reading

[@AeroDesignsNN]

Good timing! Literally just about to buy my first set of wheels haha thanks for the tips

[@RS6_Adventure]

Always double check and triple check your sizes. If you wanna run wide tires, make sure your wheels can accommodate that. Make sure that if you need to, buy aftermarket lugs bc chances are the OEMs won't fit. TSW wheels for example have a conical lug seat so look for lugs with a conical seat. Also make sure those same aftermarket lugs have the same thread pattern, most cars are 12x1.5 or 12x1.25. All in all just research and ask around, people will be happy to help out!

[@MrJendosa1]

Awesome! Those are Jendosa ZG flares on The Z 95. I do get a lot of questions, this video will help out. Thank you! keep up the good work. Cheers!

[@Interich]

I'm laughing so much, I was very lucky, a friend of mine suggested to go for ET20 straight away.. I don't regret it, I'm glad I did, have space for a brake upgrade that I will be doing soon.. My friend also pointed out the day that I will curb the wheels will be a day I will be sad.. I have my honda accord tourer in silver at you guys gallery and in UK roads can be a bit of a challenge, specially if I don't know the road that I will be driving on.. So far I only had one situation that I thought I couldn't drive through because of being wide, 1cm on each side to pass 😂😂. Good video. My tourer corners so well I've made my mom and partner scream on a turn 😂😂

I'm kind of getting into cars but I realized the more personal customization you do it seems the more you have to worry about.

[@RelentlessCo]

Jacob Proctor gotta pay to play

[@dorito7480]

Thats facts, but it really is worth it once you get your build goin

[@bryaneekelder8267]

That's basically life my dude. Anything built to your spec, or anything unique for that matter requires special/extra care to keep it in a decent shape. I'd be just as carefull with a brand new car as i would be with brand new wheels. You'll want to keep them clean AF for the longest time possible right?

[@FitmentIndustries]

Pay to play is so true man damn! lol

[@JustDaTip101]

Love your work, and respond, from your team. Hopefully I could get my set of wheels soon from you guy

[@L-Noble.YT_Hi.Res-Soundminds]

Expect 1. People will try to take your wheels. 2. A dog u never see keeps peeing on them. 3. You start hiding your car behind the house. 4. Everyone swears your dealing drugs. 5. You will have less money than before.😅👍

[@aoi89387]

Bit specific 🤔

[@josephamen4244]

Also bumps on the road are harder on suspension components (links, struts,etc) if you go lower on your tire

[@felixf5211]

Folks may want to ask themselves why they want a BBK. It won't make a night and day difference in stopping time, assuming you have decent brakes to begin with, but it will make the stopping distances more consistent. Then there's the bad part - you're adding quite a bit of rotational/unsprung weight. IOW, you're making the car slower and deprecating its handling. Probably not what you had in mind. Instead, upgrade your current braking system. For example, we shed about 20lbs of rotational mass with Baer rotors. We also run a high-performance fluid, lines, and pads. You can do the same and increase the performance envelope with no drawbacks. Good luck.

[@ruikazane5123]

You're expected to take good care of your rims. Scratches are minor, cracks are bad if you have multipiece, and breaking them is horribly expensive! Aftermarket wheels are just another way of getting 'related' to your car! Investment and responsibility.

[@thomasthetrainengine7763]

I went to 18x9.5 on a STI with Michelin sport 4s and now I skrrrreet round turns

[@MotorsandMetal]

Certainly agree with the check your measurements. I have a 2004 Honda Civic Si (EP3 Chassis code) with Spoon 4 piston monobloc calipers in the front, and larger knuckles, hubs, axles, rotors from an RSX Type S in the front. If you're doing a lot of things like that I advise looking at specs of wheels on the car that parts come from, which shouldn't be much a second thought. I'm going to update in the gallery, I have maybe 1/2 cm caliper clearance on the face. EDIT Wheels are Motegi Traklite 17x8 +40 with a 225/45-17 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Car is still slow.

I don't know if it really applies to new wheels but at least when buying old wheels make sure the hub diameters are big enough to clear.

Luckily I found a machine shop to mill the wheels for a really good price
