I heard CA glue won't stick to alu rims. Is this a real problem, or can this be solved somehow?

Hey daf. I used the ca glue and I really hadn't had a problem. You need to get a little primer to put on the tire groove of the rim. Stick like glue then. :) I have the chrome plated viper 40 series.

Okay, thanks.

This wheel looks awesome! I'm just a sucker for wheels. You can't have enough wheels.

I just don't like the weight of them. Hey got to look god some time. I have a spinner kit that works and looks real nice with them. I changed cvds so the spinners won't work for now. May have to modify the spinners to see if I can get them back on there. Have to take it out cruising.


Peace!

Hey they have been bashed. They also dirty. I put them on and run the truck. I bought them to run. So i did. One of them got a nice scratch. Still look good though from distance.

I had some but was too scared to run them in case I chewed up where the hexes fit, or scratched them.
