View Full Version : Think I found my wheals.

BTW, I tried to correct the spelling of "wheals", but it doesn't show up.
They're 18 x 8.5 Radd RD12s. They're gonna have BFG KDWs in 255/55-18 size. The wheels are the proper bolt pattern (115-5). I'm getting them for just under $1700 for everything. Hopefully be in in and on by the 3rd of Dec. I WILL post pics. Any comments good, bad, or indifferent are welcome. I've never heard of this wheel before, so if you have, sing out.
Thanks.
Oh yeah, Here's (http://www.customwheelsunlimited.com/2005RADD.htm#) a link to their site. This is the first time I've seen a Magnum featured on a company's main page. Click on the 2006 styles link just above the RD4. Are these truck/SUV wheels? Is that OK for the LX?

Be wary of this company. I deal with them all the time and its not easy. RADD is a private label wheel. They manufactured and shipped from China. They might tell you they're in stock and then you wait for ever. Second, I had a customer buy a 300 off a local dealer and they had this brand on his car. He tagged a pothole that bent a rim
destroying it. Guess what, only had the car 4 months and the wheel was discontinued. He had to buy all new wheels. Be careful!!!!

Good luck, I bet you will also love the BFG KDW tires, I have the same size.

Have you checked into TSW wheels? They make fitments for the LX platform and are a reputable company. Here is a link to a site that carries them http://www.bigwheels.net/index.php?location=wheels&view_mode=model&action=&model=&status=&model_vehicle=Magnum%20R/T
I have had no dealings with the company that sells them but the site can tell you what fits and what does not. I have had TSW wheels in the past and was very happy with the fir and finish. Your results may vary.....

So are the problems with CWU or w/Radd itself? Thats understanding that if a company(CWU) sells a potentially problematic item (Radd) - I'm not knocking either just trying to clarify my question, they (CWU) set themselves up for the complaints from the end user.

Thanks for posting this question. I was thinking about it all afternoon at work.

Hey, thanks! I like the Montage. It was the only one that fit.

i think they (well similair) look awesome on transams. if i could afford them i would have a set. they are $3,000+ just for the rims though :(

Wrong size too. No 5x115 bolt pattern.

Yeah, I'd like an answer to this too.

moparman53, are you talking about the wheels on the main page of that site on a silver magnum with the sparkly stuff? If so, those "RADD Alloy" wheels are a straight rip off of the MHT alloy's wheel DUB Shorline. Here's a pic of the original wheel (the one they stole):

Like avon said, I'd be really careful with this company. If they steal other people's designs who knows how good their workmanship is :(
Just be careful man......

Thanks to what you guys are saying, I'm not getting them. I wasn't dealing with that company directly; my local Discount Tire store was going to order them. Man, I'm glad I didn't give them a deposit.
