put a ****en air carrier on it and it will buckle.

its just engineering

Haven't you ever seen an air carrier on wheels, yourfather?

[yourfather]

its not that. its just people give shit advice to people who ask serious questions.

like, abc wheel will buckle if you put lots of weight on it.

the real answer should be,

Find out the manufacturers specified weight limits, then if they are within range, they are acceptable to use. If they are not acceptable dont use it, and if they dont have weight limits, then dont use it either, because you would want to hedge. Plus if they are replica wheels, I would doubt the quality.

Like fake LV bags or Gucci wallets etc

Miscway,
you said "now all i need 2 do is drop it 3-4cm and ill be rapted",
No doubt those wheels will look even better after the car is lowered!
but i don't think you gonna be rapted!! there is gonna be compromise!
any lowering is gonna change suspension geometry and effect the handling and performance in every way, is not gonna feel the same.
I'm just suggesting that lowering should be done together with camber kit. That way you save money on costly uneven tire wear and still maintain accurate geometry.
The main thing is it puts the tick in the box for SUSPENSION on you list.

buckle hey? now i ask how did they buckle? is it poor quality or poor driving that did the damamge?

It was most probably caused by a pothole or something. Can't say about quality but that was what happened with mine.

I honestly think they'll be fine....im pretty sure as long as you dont put them under un due stress ( ie track them) they should be ok. The only thing is your speedometer might be out by a little bit.

Also im not sure if its just me but the front offset looks low so if/when you plan to lower it just keep that in mind.

Yea atm im very cautious when drivin around, dont wonna hit any nasty pot holes, not 2 mention me mate had 2 reverse the car out of his drive way one morning and sure enough he hit the gutter.....3 days after puttin em on.....lets just say that was not my best day

in regards 2 the speedomiter i find my self goin 10km less according the meter but yea i can deal with that.

im startin 2 lean towards gettin some super low king springs all together (orginally was just gonna cut the stockys) anyone know how much of a drop i could expect from super lows?

topendwarrior what exactly do u mean but together with camber kit? (tire wear is a of big concern 2 me) cheers

[sever_all_ties]

You'll find that the lower you go, the more your suspension will camber out. This will usually cause uneven tire wear.

[micsway]

ok this might be quite the noobish question but how can this be avoided?

[sever_all_ties]

Get a camber kit front and rear and then get a suspension specialist to adjust it for you along with a wheel alignment.

[Topendwarrior]

it is wise to save up enough and get it done in one hit.
you can get front and rear camber kit for around $400
