Re: Non bacon car

So water-cooled industries has done it again..... and let me just say that i have probably brought this on to myself by choosing this company again.....

Took the tires to chad/jim at Kal tire on friday for mount/balance/alignment. None of this was accomplished. Whoever WCI got to powder coat the wheels did such a bad job that it ran down into the valve stems which caused the stems to leak. Picked them up from Kal tire that night and brought them home exploring my options. i ended up cleaning out the valve stem locations with a rotary tool and sanded away the powder coat so that there would be a better fit.

I brought the wheels back to al tire today, and they were able to get a seal! hurray. Picked them up and brought them home to put them on.... BUT, my bad luck doesn't end here.

Kal tire ended up putting the tires on backwards, even though i specifically told the guys that the wheels were directional.... Im hoping they will fix that issue free of charge Wednesday when i take the car in for an alignment.

So the wheels are on backwards for now. Will be lowering it more tomorrow night. and ill be looking at getting some spacers for the fronts, and maybe even the rears.

Re: Non bacon car

I like the wheels and think they will go with your look very well. Personally black wheels always look much better in person than in pictures, but that being said I want to see more pictures!!

Gotcha, didn't realize that. Looking forward to your pics -- you snap good ones.

nice!

Thanks guys, wheels and a new alignment going on as we speak. Will be picking it up after work. Already receiving great service from chad/jim at kal tire.

Re: Non bacon car

I'm definitely reserving judgement myself.

The rotiforms were a love hate. looked perfect, had awesome fitment, but they were extremely heavy, beginning to tear apart my fenders, not very comfortable because of the tiny tires. Since the tires were ruined, used it as a chance to step down to 18's.

Gasp! Watercooled industries?

Really excited to see how they look... cant tell from the pic, is that a matte black? Or a satin finish?

More towards the satin side.

Re: Non bacon car

The black may look ok. I'll reserve comment until I see them on. Loved how the former rims looked also.

Re: Non bacon car

Got rid of the rotiforms yesterday, then went straight to pick up the new wheels. Jammed them into the audi.... times i wish i had a wagon....



Stepping down into 18's and less aggressive fitment,

Front: 19x10 et35 to 18x8.5 et42.
Rear: 19x10 et35 to 18x9.5 et40.



Will be looking at spacers to dial everything in once i get the tires on tomorrow. Black wheels were definitely not my first choice and a colour change will most likely happen in the future, but i love how these wheels look.

Re: Non bacon car

hmm okay thanks for the info sean. I'm hoping i can have it realined with the new tires and wheels and will last more than a month....

Those tires are brutal with camber. I barely had camber on my old silver golf and the insides were smooth within a month. Would never buy Federal 595 again.

yeah i don't think ill be going with these ever again. i picked them up used with the rotiforms. I will be going with nito neogens when i buy new tires.
