Rims/Wheels Ideas?

[kazan0va17]

So for the past two years I've been looking into getting a nice set of rims. Trying to get 17s at the most and most preferably something with a nice lip, nothing too crazy. Like to keep it simple, but sexy. It's also a pain in the ass to find 4 lug that look decent enough :(

Any ideas? Anything that isn't going to cost way more than it's worth. Know of any companies to go through?

something as simple as this works fine

save your money. also, buying quality wheels used is better than buying cheap wheels new if you can't afford to buy quality wheels new. cheap wheels are a downgrade from stock.

There's a lot of knockoff companies, but IMO: if you aren't going to take it to the track, getting brand name wheels aren't important. I've seen others have Rotas or XXRs for long periods of time of DD use, and they're fine. Granted, they avoid potholes and don't wack curbs, like most people will not do.

Some good quality brands that won't cost a fortune that I prefer, ROH and TSW.

knockoffs are yucky status and getting nice wheels has nothing to do with going to the track or not; 99% of nice wheels will never see a track. simply put, wheel choice can make or break a car's look more than any other single mod. knockoff/cheapo wheels ruin just about any car while nice wheels make almost any car better. even most stock wheels are a better choice than cheap wheels.

QTF, I'd do a stock wheel over cheapos because a lot of them are made by reputable companies (Enkei, BBS, Rays, ROH supplies OEM wheels too) and a lot of engineering goes into them. While I'm not a diehard anti-knockoff man, I don't respect a knockoff company because they make their $$ by copying another company's design and hard work. I won't flame someone because they have Rota's or XXR's though.

[Skyforger]

Just curious, how exactly does it ruin the look of a car? Especially if it's just a simple, gloss painted five spoke wheel? Not everyone is a wheel whore/guru. I'll admit, I know of some knockoffs, but not all. I like simple, clean looking wheels, regardless of brand or anything. But some want to be all about the name brand. Hell, I've been told ROH and TSW are lousy brands. lol

[wetamup2k3g]

Those Estrella's are simple five spoke rims...and they're simply ugly too. All comes down to wheel choice. I've seen those rims on cars, and they never look good. I know personally I don't want knockoffs, just personal preference, them being lighter than their knockoffs always helps, even if it is inconsequential. It's like having fake Jordan or AF1's on; the knockoffs still work as shoes, but the originals are of better quality and they're the real deal!!

[Skyforger]

Have you seen how cheap they are? lol American Racing practically gives them away for what they sell for, main reason why people keep buying them. But I see your point though.

I'm diehard anti-knockoff and will flame, but other than that. YES.

Well let's see:
-If you're anywhere near a car with the real deal your car looks like doo doo. ROH and TSW are lousy. Well TSW has a couple wheels of respectable quality, but only two.

Personally I don't want knockoff, I like the O.z. , konig, and BBS styles, but don't know exactly what'll fit and what'll work. Wanted some more input. Also I'm not going to buy cheap XXR or even TSW, being they're overpriced and not that great to begin with

I really don't see the issue with ROH, they aren't some cheapo brand. They have a few budget wheels, but they make a nice assortment of stylish forged wheels too. Maybe I'm just more fond of what the domestic crowd favors though.

I forgot to mention, CCW makes some damn nice wheels:

Konig ONLY produces knock off product.

Look up coverage of Import Alliance Summer Meet 2011, enjoy seeing 1/2 the cars there on CCW's.

But they're $2000+

I'm with Cody, I see CCW classics and LMs ALLLL OVER THE INTERNET ON EVERY POSSIBLE CAR! not unique anymore, what's said is that they offer 20 different face styles, yet you see those two everywhere. Same shits happening with Rotiform, because they make cast and forged versions of the same exact wheel, thus all the fanboys have the cast version, and very few spring for the forged version. Way too much hype, and the whole stance/fitment thing hasn't helped.

[RedGalant2k1]

A $4000-6000 set of wheels aren't in a fanboi's budget..lol

real LM's will always be nice no matter how many cars sport it.

[greddy]

^yes BBS LMs, I couldn't agree with you more, I was talking about the CCW LMs. I mean if you're going to get custom wheels, get something a bunch of other people don't have.

Note these pics are from a Honda-oriented blog, thus a high quantity of Hondas.

[dronesurfboards]

damn, did they have a sale at a shop or something lol? it only takes one person to get everyone else to buy some i guess lol.

[Skyforger]

I had no clue with the Hondas. I've seen them favored with the GTO crowd a bit, on a few C5 and C6 Corvettes, maybe an F-body or two...

Now that I think about it...are Speedlines used/popular at all?

[Blue8g]

I don't see many if any.

And there are a lot more CCW's where that came from, I don't understand the fanboi love for them, I think they're horrendously ugly.

[oakrdrs187]

IMO the S2K rocked them best.
