What should I do with 3 and a half rims?

SRT14PimPin07 · 07-10-2016, 10:00 PM

Hey guys I need some advice. I have 3 Iconz 880z wheels and a barrel without a center. The company went out of business, took my money and never shipped me a new center for the fourth rim. The worst part is that they asked me to send the old center back to them. So now I don't know what to do. I'm in Los Angeles California. Does anyone know anyone that can maybe duplicate one of the centers for me so I can have a full set again? Or should I take it to a recycling plant and see how much I can get for them? lol

I originally paid 3,000 for the set of wheels only, no tires. They are forged 2 piece wheels.....any help is appreciated guys!

Thanks

I wouldn't recycle them! Do your best to try to find one online somewhere. Even if it doesn't match, you can always have them refinished in a custom color.

Yeah but im missing the center for one of the wheels. Would you know any rim shop that can duplicate a face?

The company that makes Fooze wheels does custom. Maybe a center is cheaper to be made than what you get selling them.

Not right off the top of my head. Like Fundguy1 mentioned, you'll have to find a place that can machine one out for you.

Your probably right, but I don't want to spend any more money on car stuff. I'm over it. I want someone to take them off my hands and they can figure out what to do with it. Know what I mean?

If that's the case, you need to start a FOR SALE thread; continuously bumping a pointless thread isn't going to get you anywhere.

I would put them up for sale, you can't be the only person in the world with that model of wheel. Especially since Iconz is out of business and you can't get that wheel anymore. Even for a really low price, I think that would be more than the recycling center would give you for them.

Or I've seen a company on eBay that sells a lot of wheel parts. I think they claimed to make wheels for a lot of the private label forged wheel companies so maybe they could make your center.

I also own wheels made by a defunct company - Forged1. Great wheels, but if I damage a center I'll be in the same boat as you.
