    Automotive S and NSS... 22" wheels

    Well, the suckage... I accidentally curbed my right front wheel earlier in the week. Got too friggin' close to the curb and BAM!!!!

    Called all around and found that the wheels on my car had been discontinued. I couldn't even find one replacement wheel across the country. So I ended up having to buy a new set.

    Now I guess I'll have to try to sell the old wheels on Craigslist or something... at least someone out there with the same issue might be able to buy my remaining good wheels and save themselves the pain of buying a new set.

    Well ... here are the old and new wheel comparisons. The old wheels were Dropstars DS02 22" wheels and the new wheels are Dub "Dirty Dog" 22" wheels.

    After...

    I definitely like the new ones better. Less curvy more cut.

    No ventiports?

    Seriously, that's a fine looking vehicle. I thought about you the other day - saw a white "Special Edition" 300 in traffic - the first one I'd seen in a while.

    I was curious how bad you curbed the old wheel.

    I like the new ones better too... they seem cleaner.

    Well.. I didn't curb it hard enough to bend the lip... however the scratch/gash it left was about 7 to 8 inches long.


    I could've driven on it... but honestly, I run my car like a "show vehicle" so that scar stood out really bad to me. I'll be selling off the old wheels at an extreme discount to get rid of them on craigslist in the very near future.
