My car doesn't have C7 rims.. right? I thought the C7 rims were the old multi-spoke ones from the 2002-2003 C230K Sports and Sport Coupes. Yes I know Drew's have scratches, I'd live with it.

Trey would be buying them, not me. I told him that if he bought them and wants to trade with me that I'd be willing to do that. My rims are very, very near perfect. They have a few nicks and stuff but nothing major.

Trey the offer stands. If you want to buy Drew's rims and you guys have a deal worked out and then when you're in GA trade with me, I'll do it.

If drew has then around next pay check we might be doing that. I will have paid off my CC by then from the suspension and might be in the rim buying mood lol. Will be in touch.

lol, nice!

let me know how the Renntech shocks/struts are. I'm thinking of getting them (as my OEM shocks/struts already have 90k miles on them).

what are the parts that you already ordered for specifically just the replacement of shocks/struts? thanks!

Well i ordered spring pads #4 for the back but that is because i got springs and hope to keep it the same so that i don't have tire wear issue. I have not ordered anything yet for the shocks/struts yet i am going to see what comes with them first and then see what needs to be ordered. There is a front and rear kit that includes bolts, washers and some other stuff that is under $25 so i might order that so that i don't reuse old bolts but like i said going to do another assessment once i get everything. Will let you know and take pictures on Tuesday.

Good deal. I couldn't simply sell you my car's rims.. as I think the handling would be off if I drove on just the rotors. But this way maybe we all can be happy. Although Drew's front wheel has some nasty markings.. I wonder how much that would cost to fix? Drew?

I have no idea about a wheel repair. Like I said, I'd be willing to try the bondo + sandpaper + wheel paint DIY, but I'd hate to make it worse.

As far as Karo, you missed it, but Phil edited Karo's post

On the wheel repair, it is not that hard to DIY. Lot's of good DIY articles out there.

Honestly i have not thought about the rims in a while. i have a few things on my mind that are troubling me plus i have my wisdom teeth out on Thursday which i am not happy about and work is greeting very stressful and will be for a few weeks. I will say that if i get as big of pay check on Friday that i think i might get then i might talk to him about price and see what we can do but we shall see. I also don't think i can get any time off for at least a month so that sucks as well.

BTW i know that i grammar sucks right know lol
This thread has taken a turn to about me again lol.

So this evening i did a Google search of the vin to see if i could find the excursion from the wreck in may i was in and it finnaly showed up. http://www.copart.com/c2/individualL...Type=onSaleNow
It seems to look a lot better then i remember.

I had to have my wisdom teeth out a few years ago. It's not much to be worried about, I just don't like being on the pain killers afterward... I feel too out of it.
