Default My 22's are the victim of these ny streets

summer is not even here yet ..and i have nicked the front rims on my car thanks to (a very large) pot holes on the highways no less

only good thing is its a three piece rim so all i need is new lips for the front..........360 forged quoted me $1100 for the replacement.......am wondering should i sell the rims and go 20's just so i can get more tire on the rims..........but the 22' look soo good on my car

Damn that $ucks man..didnt you just pick these up...yeah I have heard New York has the worst pot holes....good luck with whatever you decide.

yes 22's look great.but 20's would give you more tires...especially with the pot holes that New York offers.

your front lip is a 22x2.5"?

$1100 just for lips, or includes rebuild?

if they're just selling you lips they're taking you to the cleaners.

That still sounds a bit steap!! 22" chrome lips retail for about $325 each give or take. Labor should be about $100-125 a wheel? It also will be cheaper if you take the tire off the wheel before shipping.

totally agreed. $1100 is steep. Tops $450 per wheel including 1 way shipping.
