yes i can,but i dont know where:)thats the prob:)

I called and emailed them directly. I never found a supplier.

WOW

I've never seen Minerva's in machined, they really look like crap.

Honestly, I'd pull those wheels off until you get coilovers or bags. They look retarded at stock height, and they're just going to get nicked and chipped while you save for susp. What's the point?

Definitely wait for coilvoers, springs are a waste of time/money, esp. if you're just trying to rock your wheels. 

IMHO, it's better to stay stock for a while longer then bust out *BANG* coilovers [i]and[/i] wheels. Instead of wheels + monster truck height, then so-so dropped springs, then coilovers like a year later.

That's what Pete did, and it turned out amazing.

Besides, you're going to need money for spacers anyways, those won't be flush once you dump the car. And you might be able to find a place to chrome or polish those wheels while you're saving for coilovers, because they really don't look right machined.

Good luck man.

Lil harsh there sideways. The car will definitely look nicer with the drop the wheels imo dont look bad though even machined. Good luck which ever way you go.

huh man ur mean:))
um i can get adjustables in bout 3-4 weeks frm today,so i think i wont offend anyone with my ride height,
btw i sold my old mags so cant jus take them off+ its my daily driver.
i will get spacers whne i will lower my car,no point gettin them now.
next thing i wont go THAT low that my wheels will flush in..nice max 3" drop wont get me massive camber...

money arent a problem for me,ive got a job and i dont need to save up for months to make my car look nice,i just got other stuff to spend on...

these mags are basicaly temporary,cuz i will go for some 19" in the future,mayb by the end of the year,gota talk to my suplier...
so im not gna modify these mags in any way...and they look nice in silver finish,and i really HATE chrome mags...ive ogt nice psossitive feedback on my mags from my friends and some random people...if yoiu dont like them ok i dont really care


 

Hey man, just do your thing. I guess everyone has their own style. But the important part is how your car will turn out in the end. NOT while it's still in progress.

I don't think Sideways was being mean, I think he was just trying to give you some advice. But that's my opinion. 


Well good luck with your ride. I guess, show it off when it's complete! 

so um yeah i gt jumepd on saturday night,beaten up by 4 huge guys and they drove away in my car:(

cops found my car next day,but thing is i didnt c it yet,but what they said that my sounds are missing(its ok i had in plan buy new ones)but then they told me that ive got flat tyre and damaged mag(wich im affraid of is bented or sumthing like that[how you gna explain flat tyre then, even if they tried to take my mags...])so um yeah hope so my car is ok(still drivable)if not i guess im gna sell it then and buy something else when im gna have enough money(wich i dont have:()

but yeah car is found and i am mostly ok , just really shocked with couple of lumps on my head bruises and scratches...

Jesus man I'm glad you're okay! Bottom feeding bastard car-jackers. :knuppel2:

 So if you sell the Sentia, what car are you going to pick up?

if im gna sell sentia,i might get sentia again:)i just love the shape of the car...um or maybe celsior,but they to expensive over here....cedrics,glorias,leopards,cimas are waaay over my budget(actually i dont have any budget at the moment:()
there is one cima but its 1991 and yeah not really what im looking for,but i found a jag for sale its xj6 its 1995 and looks prety good to me,but o dont have $10000...
so yeah if my car is ok im gna keep it,if its not i guess im gna sell it,talk to my mum because she is selling her car(honda inspire)wich can be sold for probably another $4000 add probably $3000 from sentia and its still not enough:(
so basically im out of money to buy my self and VIP platform...

and all these vip cars over here are really rare so to grab a cima or cedric is almost impossible...or its just to expensive and i dont have spare $20000 even if its already done up with nice dishes and bodykit

holy crap. beat up and carjacked . sorry to hear this  :o

thanks guys,at least im still alive nad cops found my car next day...but i still dont know when i can get it back or in what condition is it...hope so this fukwits didnt do anything bad to it...
mags are ok if its stuffed a lil bit prob fixable and i still wanted to upgrade to 19" later on...but if its not drivable any more thats a mayor problem to me...

Just glad your ok wheels and car can be replaced crazy shite happens everywhere.

Jesus dude...  Im glad that you are ok!...

yeah im very very lucky they where pretty nice to me..these big as islanders are huge and they dont play around...if i c them again they going to meet my steel baseball bat! :knuppel2:

dont really care about mags but you know when ur losing your own money that you earned by hard work...and a car,im still at home and losing my money...and i still dont know whats wrong with my car...and ive got no idea when i see it again,hope so its going to be very soon...i was talking to my parents today about stuff and yeah they going to support me now(thanx mom!)my dad gave me an idea to sell my mazda and just save up lets say $15000 and buy something newer...still its going to be a car wich is like almost 9 years old...but hes got no passion for VIP cars(yeas he likes them,he used to have bmw 7 and merc s class and audi a8 but he thinks its pointless putting bigger rims on it,but its true:))

dont have an insurance because of my high access fee($2500)and car is worth $4000...so there wasnt any point of gettn it insured...im gna go to mag shop tomorrow mayb they can work it out somehow, i atleast want to save these mags(only set in country)and put them on new car wich its ages away:)ive got no money at the mo

ouch :( Well hopefully you can salvage the wheels when cash flow allows. SSR Agile Minevera are no longer made and are worth saving.  Good luck man

there used to be a lot of wheel repair places that charged a flat 125 to repair a wheel..(even bent ones).. google some up and send your pic.. maybe you could get'em to fix your wheel for 125... 

i went to mag shop where my mate is working and hes sending the mag to his friend who works with damaged mags...then they gna tell me if its fixable or not...if not im jus gota save for some new 19" foun ones pretty cheap looks kinda like minervas but they are with black face...they are 19x 8.5 +35 offset
and 19x 9.5 +35 offset i can pick them up at $350 each and plus tyres...so basically brand new 19" with new tyres gna cost me lil bit over $2000

im more worried about panel damage...hope so no structural damage to the frame or something

dang man i hope everything works out

sucks dude things can only get better good luck with the wheels

so i got my car back from mechanics.engine and trans is sweet no chassis bented or damaged...only one thing need to be replaced is steering rack pipe wich is bented...not a prob...other wise car in perfect condition...um still need a panel and paint quoted and my mag repaired...

That's good to hear....I hope everything works out.

hey guys,so lil bit of update:)
it was a hard time for me lol:)
i was thinking off selling sentia and buy my self mb w140
but then i realised that i dunt know how im gna drive it because im going to uni next year,and really cant afford v8 car,so i decided to stick with sentia...
so um at the mo i purchased new mags,because my minervas arn fixable...
um about new mags, they look like euroline dh or simmilar...they called blest,the 18x 8 +38 on the front and 18x9 +38 at the back...so yeah nothing extreme,but i just love em...and at the mo i cat afford some nice deepdished 19" rims...
so um yeah and i scored them for only $800 nzd without tires

sou um yeah pic
[img]http://sweb.cz/nounre/22962534_full.jpg[/img][/img]

i know nothing good at all but at least something...

um im gna buy new fenders and the bonet hopefully by the end off the week,
then gna drop my car at mechanics to get my steering rack pipe done and yeah im back on road cruising and saving money for full respray and probably some agressive mags:)

ill keep in touch

i like the new ones better than your prior wheels.
