I'm mad cause yesterday I went to the shop to order the rims I wanted. But they said I couldn't get them cause they won't fit my car. ...had my heart set on them for the past 2 months.

man dont be mad, you can always fit something to a car, if it's the nut patern, why dont you just make a spacer with the conversion for the nut patern, i've done that with my cadillac and it work like a charm. and if it's the size, try ordering the size below with some low profile tire or cut the shit out of your car that block ! lol dont be mad cause of rims that wont fit, rims always fit
remember the rasta man that put 22inch on his camry, it looks ugly but he like it and he was the first. so if you want the rims so much and have a bit of money extra go make yourself a spacer with the new pattern

at least, that's what i'll do if I were you

Yeah, it's not worth getting mad over. Besides there are ALWAYS other rims if you don't want Spacers.

Marc nice grille

and why exactly wont the wheels fit?

Duane Face · 02-03-2005, 10:39 AM

They said the off-sets don't match. I'm no mechanic so I don't know what the hell that means. And I don't know how to make them fit. I really wanted the rims cause they are the only ones of that kind that I found.

18 x 8 machine/gunmetal finish

If I knew how to make them fit, I would do it.

Always check the specs. so that u eliminate the madness and try for something else.

Those are nice rims

You have good taste in rims

Duane Face · 02-03-2005, 10:53 AM

Thanks. It took months of searching before I came across those. I want 5 decent sized spokes with either a machine or polished finish. But those rims having the gunmetal in the background made those wheels even better.

What are the odds of me finding another set of rims just like those in a machine finish?

Rapeacivic · 02-03-2005, 11:00 AM

Try looking at www.wheelsnext.com they have some pretty good deals on there

vsixcamry · 02-03-2005, 11:08 AM

fatty rims. your problem is better than mine, i bent two rims and hadn't owned them half a year

Duane Face · 02-03-2005, 12:03 PM

What are spacers? Can somebody post a link?

***BLUEMEANIE*** · 02-03-2005, 12:11 PM

just call falken and see if they are made in your offset and where you can get them.

Duane Face · 02-03-2005, 12:15 PM

I called Falken from the store. I told them the type of car I have. They looked it up on their computer and told me it work cause the 02 Camry doesn't have the right offsets.

See, we had to call Falken to get the product number cause the store had never heard of the rim.
