Am I the only one confused here? Why wait to find out if they will screw you...just return them and get wheels that don't make your car broken.

Maybe his wheel bearings are already toast and he's hoping he can scam a free set?

*shrug*

Actual my wheel bearing is perfect. no noises or anything. =D all i really have to do is put in some new grease like some really hi temp stuff so it wont get too hot and mess up.

Nice...my wheel bearings are usually less than 6 months old due to my high frequency of running into hard objects sideways.

Ok, what the hell is going on?

Why are you putting your car through unnecessary stress? There is ABSOLUTELY NO question that these wheels will hurt the car!

A 35mm offset, are you KIDDING me? Come on now. Take our advice, it's saving you trouble in the long run. Even if Sears WILL cover it, it's still a fiasco to get it all taken care of, and do you REALLY trust the monkeys they have in their "service" department? I certaintly wouldn't.

Why, exactly, aren't you taking our advice?

Sears is infamously bad anyway. Just check out the complaints to the BBB or any other consumer groups.

Oh man, this thread is killing me....

Buddy listen to us, we have your best interest in mind. The rims may look good, but take it from us who struggle with fixing problems just so we can start fixing what we want, you don't want to go there. FIxing problems that you DON'T want to fix gets old fast.

Secondly, there are plenty of good looking rims that will fit fine and have the same width so your tires will be just as wide (if that is what your actually going for).

Beater cars are supposed to be durable.

*sigh* whatever. We've all said our bits, and the final decision is yours. Waste your money however you want.

Spending money on the wrong parts for your car, and then spending more money to fix the problems that those wrong parts cause....

Sounds like you are well on your way to saving up for a new car.

-whatever-

i havent spent any money beside for the rims. and if they go out oo get some new bearings i can do myself. and if they are expensive guess what jy is pretty cheap. besides i have friends that work at auto parts stores and can give me mad discount. i can get $600 worth of stuff for $300 or less. so i can really careless. about parts. the end
