    Helpful Photo Tutorial => How to Get Old Wheels Back !!!

    There have been many complaints about wheels taken away from us...and there have been explanations given, but I still got lost at first and judging by the many people that have complained that it is not working for them and friends that have messaged me for assistance...I thought it would be helpful to put the process in photos step by step to build on what others have already given us...but if this doesn't work for you...you may be out of luck and your account is "broken"...LOL ...ummmm...Good Luck

    ...two sections...Buying Rims....then Mounting Rims

    Here we go...Buying Rims...Step 1 => Click on the car you want the wheels from...In my case I really wanted the Advans off of the Fast Five Camaro!!! ...Click Customize...



    Step 2 => Click on the wheels section to purchase the set/size that you want



    Step 3 => Click on a different set of rims [DO NOT BUY!!!]



    Step 4 => While on this screen, remember you are not buying the other set you want to buy the "stock" rims, so click back on the "stock" rim (do not "X" out of the other rim...and again DO NOT BUY the new rims ) Click on "Fast Five Camaro Stock Wheels"





    Step 5 => After you select the size of the "stock" rim that you want...purchase it. After you purchase the other size of the "stock" rim...be sure to click back on that same "stock" rim in the selection below and re-mount the original size...this allows the newly purchased set to go to your individual vehicle storage section (we will see later)...

    Mounting Rims ... Step 1 => Select and click on the car you want to mount you newly bought rims (ADVANs for me ) This is the screen you will see...do not go to the wheels section (as I did the first time), you will not find the rims there. You need to click on the storage section (red circle) on this page...



    Step 2 => Click on the FF5 Stock Camaro rims (Advans in this case)...they will mount to you vehicle. As you may notice, this set is Waaaay toooo small for this vehicle...we need DUBS...LOL...luckily I purchased multiple sets and you will notice that the rims are still available in storage even though I mounted them already. This is because there are multiple sets and CT does not give you a selection from this window...but if you click on the rims again...you get the other sizes..."click"...



    DUBS!!!



    Again, I do not know if this will work for every stock rim...but atleast you can get Advan RS-D Black's

    I hope this tutorial was helpful to you...and I hope you are successful in obtaining the "stock" rims of your choice...Good Luck

    I am not really sure if this will work for every car...the only thing I figured is that the rims had to be "stock" for the vehicle to even try...or if before they had removed them from the game, you purchased sets and placed them in storage. The downside to that method is that you can only have a one(1) set in each size, not multiple large sets for example. JCkid has it working for the Pacer wheels off the School bus...hopefully others will try other rim sets so we will all know what works or not

    Also, from my other post...you can buy as many as you want (rims),....BUT...you have to mount them to a car before you can buy another set (if the same size...you cannot have 2 Large size stored for example...or atleast, it will not let me store/buy 2 sets of the same size, if you select a size you have in storage, it just mounts them)...mount to one car...buy another set...and mount to another car.

    It has to be a after market wheel to change the size. OEM wheels will not work.

    It works!! I think this guide should be " Sticky "

    "This forum is both great and useful. As a source of skins, a tool for delivering resources and art, it's great. But spamming posts and piracy of skins is terrible."

    Look better, I already stuck it four hours ago.

    I also found the mistake that I made, why I thought it didn't work anymore for me. I had put small Advans back on the Fast Five Camaro instead of the stock wheels.
