7079, rent a wheel, ?????? Posted by LunarEclipse, Feb-25-02 08:35 AM
anybody from cali know anything about this shop or business? go check this link out, it sounds good to the ear and eye, but something is too good to be true. You are supposed to rent rims from them for so much a month, and you can end at anytime, switch your rims after 3 months, and get 50% off when you decide to buy them. check this out cali guys, tell me what you know

When it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. You have to think about this: they are advertising on the radio to people who can't afford rims. These same people run a high risk of just running off with the rims. So they have to make money somehow. I think that when you return the rims, they will probably try to charge a grip for minor scratches or bends, and give you the option for buying the rims for an outrageous price. I wouldn't do it, but if you do, let us know if it works :)
They also don't list any prices, so it must be really expensive. Plus, it's weekly payments. If you forget to pay one week, they might charge you an outrageous price. Also, they say you get 50% off the remaining balance if you decide to pay it all off, which must mean they are charging you 4k for a set of rims worth 2k...
