it's gonna scar me for the rest of my life like
you're not gonna let this down i'm sorry mom dad car enthusiasts
raise everybody gels we gotta put wheels on the crown vip i'm busy no you're not let's go clearly
you're revving up your engine i'm getting revved up come on you know the drill you know where we
got to go all right what we got t37s all right avid18v6 okay and but we're gonna we're gonna
destroy supposed to be doing them things with these cars we will but we're supposed to be
nice we got to do certain things while we wait for parts it's taking too long don't worry about any
of that so we have the trebles on here we don't want to ruin those those are nice we like those oh
teas are extremely nice and no one else has ruined a set oh there they are
oh my god we're really doing this yeah so just for the record i don't want to do this none of us
want to do it but it's what we need to do it's for science the nicest wheels that i've ever seen
and we're just gonna that finish is sick as hell so first things first we gotta get these mounted
on there we have the avid 186 over there we're gonna get them mounted on the crown vip and then
we're gonna go curb the [ __ ] out of them and it's gonna be the most painful thing i've ever
done in my life all right let's pull her over to the shop get those wheels on real quick so sorry
all right so i got the t37 we will be putting on the driver's side dakota's got the av6 over
there we're going to throw them on the front these are the same size i think it's like 10 mil offset
difference the offset's a little bit different but they're both 18 by nine and a half's and yeah what
we're gonna do is just test them they're probably gonna poke out a little bit from the crown vic
but that's good for what we need to test yeah i'm still i'm like shaking i don't want to curb
there i don't want to put it through what we're gonna put it through the end of the video you're
not even ready for what we're going to be doing to it so i'm so sorry for what we're about to do
i really am you can still see some of the zip ties on there too i think all of them
are still on all right all right seven's not chronic before yeah what do you think of
that i like that it actually looks pretty good t37 is going literally everything yeah that's
the thing they're a little pokey a little pokey it's a chromebook this jack sucks
look at this this goes this is m2 that we're doing an airlift 3p setup in
um and then mounting some bbs lms this turned out sick obviously i'm
not a big kitchen the trunk guy but this looks pretty damn good
and what was most important originally we're going to mount it to here but then we realized like the
battery and everything is underneath this so if you mount everything to it it makes a huge pain
in the opening you get to the battery so this is way smarter better setup it turned out dope
not bad you need a little bit of wheel gap
i'm about to do the biggest car enthusiast sin of my life and it doesn't include cinnabon for lunch
all right there's a good curb up here
any curb honestly will do so gels is there one you want to do because we'll park right
here we'll get out and get i really don't want to do the t37 because i feel like if i don't
do it it's just not going to happen so okay i'll do the 86. okay that one we'll do first
wait i want to see
for the sound it made inside i was exp i mean that's terrible but like
you didn't for being the guy that was like i really don't want you were just like ah
are you ready to do that to a 1500 no no god please though that's gonna it's gonna scar
me for the rest of my life like you're not gonna live i'm sorry mom dad car enthusiast
rays everybody that hurt that hurt that hooded
uh
oh
can we still can we bend it out
oh that one felt so much worse it was a lot longer
all right so looking at them both realistically i mean it was similar damage i mean you smoked
that the first one yes i guess straight on i don't know if it's just because like that wheel
has like a matte black finish or or maybe like the the tire might be helping out a little more
you smoked this thing and that's like the damage that was over there yeah you're right and this you
just ground down kind of like i did yeah i just went around it held up a little bit all right so
we got some more tests what we're gonna do next is we have a walmart that's like right behind us so
we're gonna get the tires dismounted so we can do a few more tests with them off the car
like you said i think the tee definitely took it a bit better especially with how i hit it on
the first one yeah either way it's not pretty this speed bump crazy these are the biggest
all right so we're at wally world we're gonna see if we get the tires dismounted
let's check her out joel's you coming joe's is scared of walmart we're not sure why hello hi
um we have two wheels two tires on them off the car uh we wonder if we can get them dismounted
if you step right out there by the fence that's where you get signed up okay sounds good thanks
apparently 235 is too low of a side wall for walmart to mount them so we're gonna have to
get crazy with it i guess
uh what we're doing here is we're gonna do a drop test with the sledge hammer we're gonna
do the face the lip and the barrel and for consistency purposes since probably a swing
is different every time how we kind of noticed with the pot or curb in the wheel one was it
was kind of different for each one so we want to get some consistency here so we have gels
drop the sledgehammer from a couple different heights on the face the lip and the barrel
we'll see how it holds up first up yeah i haven't won 86 we got the tire dismounted thank you
good chunk out of the face just the paint chipped off
it's still bent but not nearly as much as the avid one i'd say they hit about the same too yeah
like here you can see both of like the the impact from your last drop that's actually a really crazy
difference yeah like that legit like you can see where it like failed and folded yeah this is like
it kind of just barely flattened it a little bit uh-huh i wouldn't necessarily say it failed though
although i guess like where it like where it let go and kind of like yeah where it started yeah the
case like this you can't really and then look at the inside there's no distortion look at the face
too and kind of compare those you can see it's a lot deeper oh yeah on the you can see like
the material actually chipped away versus like just like i mean this one still has a pretty
good gouge right here too yeah i'm learning a lot how are you yeah okay that's good yeah who's that
what's that mandy yeah hi hi mandy we're good we're that's just hr lemonade
that's hr we're literally doing this outside of hr's office straight out of hr's window
all right so what we're going to do with the avid one av6 here first is we're gonna put the
blow torch on it we wanna test the finish of them so we're gonna hold the torch on it for
one minute straight and then see the effect of it you ready gels oh yeah i've been waiting for this
my whole life we're also doing it read outside hr's office but she she waved so i think she
probably doesn't know what we're doing okay as soon as i see that heat hit the black
paint i'm starting the timer all right ready yep all right starting torch okay
okay so we're at one minute and it looks like it's about the same
so we're gonna keep hitting it we're gonna go for two minutes
two minutes all right so you can see there's a little bit of discoloring but yeah it's super
like matte and like the rainbow effect around it i feel like that's like some of the oils
the rainbow effect let her cool off and let's do the other ones all right so as soon as you
touch it to it i'll start timer and go for two minutes okay d37 ready yep and flame okay wheel
all right we're at a minute and 16.
all right two minutes see how the sticker holds up
clear coat was definitely starting to bubble right here yeah but this
like i said i don't know if this has hot if that one has a clear coat on it to be fair
right i mean i wouldn't put that against the finish per se but
both these wheels are impressing me both of them are nuts they've held up to a lot the only thing
yeah like this one's significantly lighter so it's impressive that it's taking the like damage as
well as it is and then same thing too i mean this one we got some flat spots noticeable difference
is how much it's chipped away but for a cast wheel at this price point i was really expecting
like a chunk to come out of it a lot sooner uh oh we got one more kind of blowtorch jesus
okay
let me try the avid one i want to toast
yikes all right so the next test that we have earth rust
the big one yes we're each gonna take a throw at it with a rock ready for this
so for our final test what we want to do is the rock throw test now uh thank you for the
protection um i brought you protection too oh hey thank you so what we're going to want
to do is throw it with our non-dominant hand because we don't want to destroy these wheels
yeah you to maybe try mounting a tire on them or something afterwards
so yeah just throw with your non-dominant hand i'll go first i'll throw my right okay
yeah i'm gonna throw with my left okay hopefully it won't break it
rock number two all right i'm left handed
okay all right that was wild dude that was loud i can't believe a rock did this dude
oh my god careful don't cut yourself i'm good i can't believe brock made that i know that
was crazy i said we can't throw it that hard we didn't want to break it we wanted to mount a tiger
right hand would have been decent enough pick it up all right gels explain a little bit yeah
i threw a rock and it did this no um i think that was two and a half pounds of tannerite i believe
um versus a cast wheel um so if you ever run into two and a half pounds of tannerite on the road
it's not gonna work it went from avid one to avid 100 pieces
all right up next is the te37 i'm expecting kind of the same result oh my god holy [ __ ]
okay let's go let's go let's go oh my god this is so much better it honestly did
it stayed in one piece hey the gopro is still alive too holy sh oh my god
te 37 and a half that's insane that it didn't blow into pieces it really stayed in one piece
that's nuts here's the comparison same amount of tannerite and everything
what a difference god so there you have it we have the avid one av6 and the volk t37
no wheel should ever have to go through something like that and honestly at the end of this episode
i commend both wheels they went through hell and back and uh they made it up until this point but
i don't i don't know what would make it past this point so shout out to ray shout out to evan one
you make the choice we're just giving you the info uh both good wheels they've been through a lot
but that blows my mind that the t37 didn't lose pieces of just like it just like opened that one
kind of shattered which is to be expected from the cast versus the forged i didn't know what
to expect we should give this away we really should don't forget wheels tires much over at
fitmentindustries.com we'll even sell you ones that are all in one piece yeah how about that
