ever since i got my vr4 body on, my rims started looking even smaller. i need some suggestions for 19s. i like Reelax's wheels but i dont wanna bite off ofhim. I was thinking of maybe getting my same wheels, but in 19s. what do you guys think? going for that clean tuner look. semi-vip and a little race car look. nothing cheap either like konigs or rotas.

If I could afford a set I would go with some Volks or Work wheels. Here's a couple of sites.

I personally like those and would not go bigger, but to each their own.

I'd keep the graphite with polished lip, or go to something similer ie, anthricite, gunmetal, black, black chrome.

Keep it to a clean 5-8 spoke and it will look damn good.

I would go with a wheel from Axis, I really like their lineup, especially considering what you are looking for...

check out the following

-Gravity
-Reverb
-Hiro

-Spyder (I think it's no longer being made but I absolutely love this wheel)

some are a bit wide but I bet you could make something work

AXIS aren't really in the same league as anything made by RAYS ENGINEERING (G-Games, VOLK, Gram Lights etc.) or WORK... how about these new ROJA by RAYS:

closest i could find to fit our car in 19" was:

part# 3258-1985-514-38 19x8.5 5x114.3 +38mm 26.7 lbs. (of course you wil have to roll or cut the rear fender lips if you haven't allready). i know these will clear the brembo calipers and look very similar to what you have now but are multi piece w/ more detail, plus they are forged (cast rims are softer and heavier than forged) rim w/ cast center.

well youre more of a performance guy, and performance guys dont like big wheels :lol:


how about these new ROJA by RAYS:


i cant stand RJ devera and i wont suporrt any wheels he makes. lol. if they original was still available, (gram lights 57-f Pro), i would probably buy them.

i found this wheel by Work that is really calling my name

speaking of clearing brembos, i hate to buy wheels and later find out that they wont clear the brembos.

these were the wheels i wanted when i bought the VOLK's... in my opinion the best wheel that WORK makes for VIP/sedan (it's also probably one of their most expensive wheels). i would have gotten them in burning black or gunmetal (both special order colors):

SILLYASIANZ has these in 18" in the older version (covered lugs) in GOLD and they look dope.

i'll reach out to evom for a quote as well as my local tuner shop and see which is cheaper. im not in a big rush for wheels tho since mine are not terrible. but i will need the extra height with the 19s tho cuz my bodykit is scraping on driveways that i dont usually scrape on.

hey reelax. i looked up the Work VS-XX and theyre cast inner with cast outer. i would think for $650 a wheel, they would be forged.

that's why my VOLK's were more expensive than the WORK's and is one of the reasons i got them. "SF" in SF-winning stands for Seamless Forged. CALI and i were thinking alike w/o knowing it... around the same time i ordered mine, he ordered and got the sister wheel SF-challenge. we got them within 1 week of each other and never said anything to each other about it until they got installed!

well i narrowed it down to these 2 wheels. just waiting on a quote for the SSR's i hope its something rediculously high, so it wont make my decision even harder. lol

SSR LM-9

Volk GT-S
http://rayswheels.co.jp/datas2/VOLK/145_GTS/big.jpg

the volks are a safe choice. its easy to picture how they will look on my car.

what do you guys think? i'll have a photoshoot of my car after i get the wheels on. now i just need good tires.

19's huh; your car is becoming one of the hottest in TGCNY :lol:

both are nice!

the speed star LM-9's are very JDM and should come in around $2000-$2500 w/o tires (if u can find them as they are not part of SSR's US catalog).

the volks are dope and will run about $500 more than the speed stars, also w/o tires.
