Piaa Rims

[Cruzen]

Hi ,

Can anyobody tell me if PIAA rims are any good ?

Cannot find too much information on the net.

I can get a good price on getting them fixed but was wondering if they are worth even that.

The rims I have are 18" Racing PIAA L'UOMO TERZO DESIGN rims.

I'll end up getting 19's but still want t know if I should g them fixed.

Cheers

Hi buddy,

Not sure what you mean by getting them 'fixed'. Are your rims damaged currently? I don't see how a brand of rims tend to be better than another brand too, with the exception of forged or lightweight rims. IMO, rims are mostly for aesthetics.

Just to add ( and to rant! ), I recently had to change my 19" bridgestone 225/40 front tire as it exploded on me - cost me $600 for one piece!!!

Prevous owner hit a few gutters some descent chunks taken out. One of the companies at work can fix them but I don't really wanna waste the time if they are like $ 500 rims or something.

Did it occur to you that you could have replaced both the fronts with a cheaper option? I'm not talking about cheap and nasty stuff either...

Cruzen - posting some pics of your wheel would help. Apart from being a Japanese made rim, it probably all comes down to whether they look good or not to fetch a decent price.

Heres a couple before I picked my V up.

Also not 100% they are 18s
