Looking for a loaner set of wheels for a week

dmhenderson · 09-18-2012, 11:22 AM

Don't care what sort, I'll be responsible for any damage/nicks etc and am fine with pre/post inspection.

Only going to need them for a week or so while mine are shipped off to be powdered. I will put less than 50 miles on them and will not drive them on the highway. I have NISMO wheels so I need 19" but assuming that happens, I can provide my own tires.

Would rather not pay a "fee" but if you want a rental fee and push comes to shove, I can swing that too.

Anyone want to help a guy out?

You can fit 18's over your big brakes, if that's why you're concerned about only wanting 19's.

What dates do you need the wheels for?

dmhenderson · 09-18-2012, 11:32 AM

More concerned with the tires than the brakes. Dates are flexible. Any time betweeen now and say...March. So basically whatever works for you.

DM!!

I mean I could just rent a car but I'm uneasy leaving the car sitting on jackstands the whole time. I'd rather just borrow a set of wheels and not drive much.

just had to poke you a bit! I agree-I wouldnt want mine sitting that way either...I wonder, can you rent wheels? you can rent just about everything anymore....check your local junkyard...may be you cold pick up an entire set for really cheap and then you would have them all the time.

dmhenderson · 09-18-2012, 12:03 PM

Yeah I mean there are other options but my first choice would be to just borrow a set from someone here for a week or so. ~2 days shipping to Mike, 2 days for the powder/bake process, 2 days returned to me.

ok- just a thought. good luck...I assume you will post up some cool pics once they are completed?!

dmhenderson · 09-18-2012, 12:18 PM

Oh yes, these are going to be ridiculous wheels.

What color are you getting the wheels powdercoated? Is the Nismo your only car? If so, you may just want to look into getting a separate set of winter wheels and tires and you can put those on while getting yours powdercoated.

LOL! told ya so!

It'll be garaged during the winter. I'm not insane.

The wheels will be "lazer crystal metallic black flake" with the nismo logo embossed in white / "O" in red. It's gonna be ridiculous

I mean you guys have met me. Worst case scenario if you don't feel like being charitable is that you loan me a set of wheels for a week and get paid for doing nothing.
