What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

goddam rear 135 style wheel has a fking crack in it.. Now I have to pay for a shop to fix it. I'm so angry because I thought I had bought a nice mint set of zhp wheels.. I guess not :(

should I just go ahead and get these wheels instead? Or am I better off biting the bullet and getting these POS wheels repaired?

Dunno. From a reliability standpoint reps may not be better. Depends on if you wanna change it up. These 135's are redonkulous.

Buy the replicas and have the 135s fixed. That way, when the reps crack or break, you have a back-up. Reps do not last...on Cali streets & highways. I was so PO at this broke state when I was on my way up to Moneterey for the Legends of the Autobahn using I-101, I was so sure that the roads bent my BBS on my M3. Fortunately, I just got away with misalignment......

BTW, nice Touring...

Yeah, I figure they might last 2 years.. Not worth it, I'm going to pass on them.

Thanks man! I'm trying to make an appointment for next Tuesday with a wheel repair shop, in the mean time I will have to borrow a car. My dad just left the house two minutes ago to pick up the new rear tires. We will ask the wheel repair shop to mount and balance the new tires while they are at it.

Cleaned wheels, taking drive up to Napa Valley, hit me if anyone is up there....:D

haha, Justin is kinda right. I'm pretty sure the star is the right size, but the grill was custom made to fit the body.

In case you don't know what that car is it used to be 2 cars that got the Frankenstein treatment. One was a 1961 190SL, the other was a 2004 SL600. It was chopped, dropped, lengthened and widened. Also the V12 getting the RENNtech treatment so it now puts down 650bhp, 750lb/ft. All the work was done by a hot rod shop here in SD

The grill is from a 500SL.
