Default New Symbolic Wheels

Fellas:

I talked to my contact at Symbolic Wheels and they have several new wheels out that they have recently developed. they have some new 3-piece forged wheels.

you can contact symbolic and they will put you in touch with dealers in your area.

they are endorsed by carmelo Anthony, Snoop-Dog, Tyrses and Tyson Beckford. These are people with very discriminating and high-end tastes, yet they have chosen Symbolic wheels products.
this says a lot.

www.symbolicwheels.com

I was going to get the SL-15 wheels but will instead be getting the SL-55 with 20X8.5 and 20X10.0 (2.5 and 3.5 inch lips).

what do you'all think of the SL-55 in 20" and triple chrome.

Ted -

I can't wait for pics of your ride with these babies on.

Ted,

Those wheels are alright and all, but your posts about these wheels are becoming more and more of an advertisement.

It is all good if you want the wheels and yes, they do look good, but what's with every one of your posts linking and pushing the issue.

It just seems you have more of an interest in this wheel company then I can tell.

The Symbolics are very nice, if anyone wants to buy me a set of SL-15s, just PM me and i'll send my shipping info .

The fact that these endorsers have high end and discriminating taste is questionable. These people get paid to hawk these items, and the fact that a person has money does not always correlate to said person having great taste. See Master P's bathroom for an example, LOL.

I think the wheels can speak for themselves man, they are very nice, to be honest those celebs may turn some folks off from the wheels!! LOL

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I saw a Symbolic plug in a thread about another brand of wheel...started to write a reply similar to yours, then decided not to.

Glad someone else feels as I do.

Not to jump on Ted's case or anything, I'm just waiting to hear his response.

Ah ha.. good memory D! I totally forgot about that post.

I never questioned his integrity.. I just questioned the hearing about wheel companies or people sponsored by them.

I had a great experience with WORK and posted it one time and that was enough to say what I needed to say.

Wether your sponsored or not, we get the idea you love the wheels with one post, no need for 3-4 or more when it's an obvious plug.

that's right-the fact that celebrities co sign on a product is no incentive to purchase it, they don't validate what the product has to offer imo...if i like, i like it..that simple, nothing more,nothing less.. no celebrities input or lack of is going to change that!...just my 3 cents.......

Fellas:

In looking @ some of my posts retrospectively I can see where they come off as overly promotional of Symbolic Wheels.

Yes, I am sponosred by the company but even if I weren't I would still recommend them.

I will try to not be so over the top in my posts RE: symbolic.

Point understood and accepted.

Ted
