18" ADR black rims on white alero?

wrestlingandrunning · 09-27-2009, 10:26 PM

I was searching craigslist today and found some black rims with a chrome lip. He wants $350, comes with tires, one will need to be replaced soon. It has minor scratches but looks pretty good, though he said two rims may be bent because it kinda wobbles at about 75mph and higher. So I was wondering what you would think about me putting these on my 4-door white alero with black pin-stripe and black window tint, and if two of the rims are slighty bent where can I get them fixed and approxamitly how much?

Well I called the guy and he said he'll let me try one on thursday to see if I like it or not so I'll post a picture but I'm still curious about how to fix it.

eh, maybe about 60 to get them fixed

that's not bad I thought it'd be worse

Could look good on the right car. Let us know how it goes.

I personally would pass on them. even though it is a good deal and they are a good style, there's still a lot of hassle involved with getting them fixed. I wouldn't fix somebody else's problems. Let them fix it.

It would be a completely different story if I bought them brand new. I would fix them to keep for myself, or for the sale.

my rims are ADR 17 , i like them better than these but on a black car they would look good imo

Well he said he had them on a white ford fusion and loved they way they looked so I guess I'll have to wait till thursday too see if they look good on my car. I just think it's a good deal that's why I'm interested but if it doesn't work out then I'm going back to my other project, puttin a screen in the radio bezel and mouting the stereo somewhere else.

Should look very good. I had a white alero with razzi wing/kit, cf hood and 18" gunmetal rims w /chrome lip. Looked great! Just check on repair cost first. Good luck!

yea i decided against them i thought they looked good but seems like after i get everything fixed it'll end up costing as much as a brand new pair.
