My bent Boyds!!

LiQuIdSlEd · Dec 10, 2001

Does anyone out in S-10 Forum land know if Boyd Coddington Wheels have a system where you can turn in a bent rim and in turn get another for a minimal cost?? I just noticed my rim this evening was bent in around the lip. Not bad enough to let air out but its very unsitely. Hopefully they have some sort of dealy since these daarn rims are kinda pricey. Thanks to anyone in advance fo any info....Peeeze

Just have it repaired.

I put a big dent/bend in my Centerlines. I had it fixed for $75.
Any good rim shop can get it done. It should cost about $75, don't pay much more for it.

Oh Man that's cool! I didnt want to spend $$$ on a new rim. Like I said its really not that bad of a ding but it did buckle the metal. Does it weaken the rim? I guess I know what I will be doin this weekend. Thanks for the 411!!

Another casualty

Sounds like your another casualty who has bent a Boyd wheel.Their are reasons why Boyd's are cheaper than everyone else's.I know a guy who bent one with a 255-45-18 tire on it.

Boyd's = Cheap??? I thought they were good? How much is cheap... Where can I get a cheap set of Timeless 5 18's? The best I found is $1800 + shipping w/ tires (not bad, but not cheap)

So Boyds are notorious, eh??

Well I spent around 2400 $$$ on my 18" Stingrays which included my 40 series Nitto 555's. And that was with a discount from Discount Tire.:thumbup: Well I hope those things hold up until I get my new rig in about a year. Buying a Lexus...hehe

Well I just got my 17x8 Billet Specialties GTX-02's shipped to my door for $1115.I could have gotten a set of Boyd's for $925 shipped.But these wheels are polished on both sides and the 18x8 Boyd Timeless 5's I had couldn't hold a candle to these wheels.Plus the guy I talked to at Dealer's Sportruck told me Boyd wheels are having problems with the welds breaking on the back of their wheels.Plus I have read this on some forums of fellow truck owners who have had this problem.Why you think their 20's are so much cheaper than everyone else's?Hell they aren't welding them up all the way.

DogP · Dec 12, 2001

Another question... I have seen some cast rims, is this good bad or just different? Thanks,

You will have NO trouble with Billet Specialties. They are awesome. I have had atleast 3 sets.

Stay away from cast wheels.These are definately the cheaper made billet wheels.Eagle wheels are cast and I know a guy who knocked a big chunk out of his wheel when he hit a curb running like 5mph.

DogP · Dec 13, 2001

Okay, the cast rims I am talking about are the boyd cast... do I want boyd-whatever they normally are, or the boyd-cast. Here is what I'm seeing.

The Boyd cast wheels might be a better quality than say the Eagle cast wheels.But after you have a set of Billet Specialties or Budnik's you won't have anything else.

98 SS ON NOS · Dec 17, 2001

Eagles

Eagles bend easy, i have a slow leak now in one of my front ones even though the guy at discount tire pounded the bend out, and one of the rear rims somehow got bent with 255/40/17's on it, who knows.

CynicX · Feb 17, 2002

WTS-RCN-808 · Feb 17, 2002

Know it sounds cheap but how are the American Racing Lonboards. I was thinkin of pickin up 18's. The rims are supposed to be billet. jus wondering.

Is anyone outhere running Intro wheels? Got pics?

CynicX · Feb 17, 2002

low lyfe · Feb 17, 2002

I got 18x7 boyds with 225/40 tires up front (also a 5" drop)and I have not bent a rim. My buddy gota suburban w/ 20s and about a 6" sidewall and hes bent all 4 rims. If you drive like an ******* your gonna bend any rim

LiQuIdSlEd · Feb 18, 2002
