my car is going in a car show may 8th. i cant afford some rims right now. has anyone ever heard of like borrowing some or something? for example would i be able to go to a rim shop and ask to use a set of rims for a day, and ill advertise thier company at the show?? any ideas?

Thanx.

 

out here we have rent a rims stores

it kinda like a lease but for rims

 

wow that would be great. i havnt heard of any places like that around here.

 

how can u enter a show without mods??? its like entering a dog show without the dog??

 

i have a tone of mods. my car is in the shop getting the new kit on, dual exhaust, i just found out about the show.

 

WELL GOOD LUCK.......are you refering to the UCONN meet???
I might go if the other Jersey people decide to go. Right now-I am sure I'll go.

 

no its a boston car show, that being held at my school (umass Dartmouth)

 

Buwhahahaha!....

 

haha! u-*** dartmouth is having a car show?.... when is this?

 

yeah may 8th anyone can come is $5 admission.

 

Make sure to install the "first-aid kit mod" before the show. With that, how can you possibly lose. Who needs rims?

 

LOL.........

does anyone have any ideas about rims??

 

show up with your 16's....you'll be fine

 

Get some 13's that stick out the sides of the wheelwells. Make sure they are wire wheels with chrome knock-offs!

 

mine are 17's

 

Just clean and polish your 17s and they would be great for the show.

 

i guess that what im ganna have to do

 

cough *steal* cough some rims then return them like nothing happen j/k

personally i think the max 17 look pretty good better then the **** 16s i have on my i30 (looking for new ones dont yell).

 

yeah they do look pretty good when you shine them up nicely

 

check for rent-wheel places. Rent some 20" chromes and return them after the show.

 

ive never heard of rent-wheel places. how can i find one near me?

 

Try yellowpages.com and search for rent wheel in MA

 

nothing...

 

anyone????

 

The "rent a wheel" places are more like payment plans with outrageous prices on the wheels. They do not just rent out rims for people to take out for the weekend.

 

The fact that this thread exists on the Org makes me wonder......

 

why dont you buy my 20's and then if you dont want them sell em youll prolly make some money out of it

 

there ya go..you're one step up from where you should be

 

yeah but i just need any rims for the show, untill i can afford some nice ones

 

Not really sure the look of your car however I have a set of 17" bbs rims just sitting around. No curbrash. 2 brand new yoko tires. 2 dunlops with about 70% left$ 800...

 

how wide and what's the offset?

 

lol i cant afford rims. thsnx though

 

Without looking I think they are 7 1/2" wide and I am not sure of the offset please post up if you are interested and I will take a look when I get home tonight!

 

Theres a car show at UMASS Dartmouth??? Maybe I'll go I live close, and I have a lot of friends who go there.

 

Nice my car will be there, come and take a look at it!! def go bring lots of people, its $5 admission!

 

any ideas?? anyone?

 

you dont have any friends who have rims that u can borrow for a day? u must know someone around there with a friend with rims... as long as it sits on your car, thats all that matters... heck, you can get some jack stands and put your car on them, and put some rims that dont fit on the ground for a show affect...

 

i never show my car unless its in full show quality, meaning it has the basic mods, ie rims.... u dont want to be the one where people pass by and say" thats not a show car, he doesnt even have rims" shows come and go... you can always wait for the next show to make your debut show....

 

but i am getting my new kit, on and dual exhaust and a few other things, everything is there except the rims. its not like a huge show, just one that is held at my school. i think i might just go to a rim shop and see if they have any i can rent or something.

 

two words: spinny hubcaps

first place for sure. JK
