    Exclamation Think I found my wheels.

    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 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!!!!

    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?l...e=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.

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

    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......
    Man's biggest mistake is to believe that he's working for someone else.

    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.
