Racing Beat Wheels

[OceanPark]

Hey boys, does anyone of you know how much is our Racing Beat Wheels? I know that the 15'inch GT Package one is 400(CAD) each, what about ours?
And my friend told me that the SP9000 tire is costing 300-400CAD each. Is that true?

well i dont know for the wheels. but ive had to get a new tire already (damn pot holes) and for me in america at sears it cost 200 for tire, mount and balance. i think the tire was 160 - 170. i think next time im going to get 215/45/17s off tirerack they were only 140 i think.

What happened to your tire?

I'm taking advantage of the MP3's superior handling and doing slalom not to hit potholes... Montreal roads SUCK big time ... for 2 weeks a radio station had this thing where you called and reported the biggest pothole http://protegemp3.com/ubb/smile.gif hehe ( i had my old 323 back then so i didn't care )

i didnt se a pot hole and hit it. put a bubble in the side wall. Missouri is the second worst roads (per state) in the US. new mexico is the worst.

I didn't realize we had Racing Beat wheels too... just kidding! The wheels are by Racing HART, says so right on the wheel, and I think that they run around $700 US. Someone on another board had checked it out cause they had scarred one already on a curb.

[OceanPark]

Oh Yeah, they are racing hart, how silly i am. 700Buck each? that's around 1000 in CAD, then it would cost 4000CAD to buy those wheels? is the tire included?

I don't know how much they cost but the dealership wasn't happy when I found that the wheel s on mine had been scrapped on a curve by the bitch who test drove it before me. Tehy had to replace them before I'd buy it.

[OceanPark]

700bucks? And what about the tires? I think we will need a new set a tires within the next 3 years...Hmm, They must be expesnsive rigth? Even the Audi S4 is using the SP9000....

retail on the rims is about $500 each($300 cost) and retail on the tires is $250 each($125 cost).

[Greerstyle]

ps, they are RACING HART, not beat.

[OceanPark]

Hey GreenStyle, you are talking about US dollar right?

I'd be VERY surprised if the wheels (mags) are 500 USD. VERY surprised. I heard aboot 300-350.

Hey Ufdaz1,
A few weeks ago, a 3" or so part of my back-right rim rubbed against the curb a bit when I was parallel parking. Theres a 3" long scratch where the rim meets the tire. While *BARELY* noticeable, it pisses me off. Tell me more about this refinishing ;)!

Same thing happened to me. Do tell more about getting the wheel refinished. I'm a teacher in South Louisiana, and it would be a while before I could afford a new one.

[<mp3_xtc>]

For those needing a wheel refinished or repaired, the best thing to do would be to call some local wheel & tire stores and ask them who they recommend. If a local place isnt available there are lots of online places that you can ship your wheel off to. http://www.transwheel.com/ http://www.wheelcollision.com/ http://www.truwheel.com/
Expect the price to be closer to $145 rather than the $45 price that was stated.

freekwonder will the 215 on tirerack fit on the stock racing hart rims? i hit a pot hole myself. i called dunlop and complained and they split the cost of the tire. it still ended up costing 140 with installation and everything. Just wondering for future tire purchase?

[derrick1623]

i asked a guy in md, he said for the set(17's w/dunlops).....ready,$2,600usd!
