Hmmm... probably improbably, but maybe you had fake wheels

NYCdesignkid · 05-03-2005, 08:27 PM

yeah..i thought about that. I guess the TSW representative that will lokk at the rim will decide that. If so..my local rim shop will have a huge problem...

This is crazy.... I know someone who actually had the same thing happen with his Konig wheels...

You should contact the manufacturer and have them resolve the problem!!

your lugs were definately torqued incorrectly!

j/k...glad that you're ok.

i bet the thief cut the spokes just in case you came out before he was done jacking your stuff.

That sucks! I have had TSW wheels before and never had any issues but that was years ago, maybe they are using cheap import wheels to be competitive on pricing now.

This is not aimed toward you directly but, IMHO:

Just another reason not to run overpriced, oversized, rediculous, useless (and now dangerous) wheels on a big heavy suv. Poor tire wear, poor ride quality, poor handling, poor braking, high price, high theft rate, asking for a carjacking....... They can keep their dubs, I don't want em. It's funny how people jump on the (big wheel) bandwagon just trying to impress people. It's like the money is burning a hole in their pocket.

haha, I got my car with them. Once i get the money im getting a set of off-road wheels/tires. But the tires wear great if you have them blanced right, Ride is a bit bumpy hehe.

I don't want to sound like a jerk, I understand why people want them because they look cool and all.

I didint say you where a jerk, I understand where your comming from.

If my car came with out them i would not have spent the money on them, But i got the car with the wheels for less then NYCdesignkid wheels alone costs.

Well...much of what you guys said was true, but I do have to disagree with the whole "jump on the big wheel bandwagon" thing (with no offense taken). The truth of the matter is that the engineers have gone through great pains and labor to make sure that the stock rims and tires are the best fit, performance and safety for the vehicle, but from an aesthetic perspective they are actually ridiculous. Porportionally..it does not make sense to put a 16" rim on a truck that is so large. I'm not saying that the truck should come stock with 24" rims, but 16" is definately too small. Just some food for thought.
