rule of thumb. DUBs do not belong on the GS.

If you are a member of car domain, they will love those rims. We will not. They will crack/chip before you know it and **** you off.

Check in our vendors forum and talk to some of them for rims. They have nice chrome ones as well.

Ok. Thanks for the honesty. We all have our opinions, that's why we all have different wheels on our cars. I guess I will go and see if I can choose comething different. In the mean time, I will wait to hear more opinions.

Stick around here and do some research, look at other members cars for a while before you make your choice. Might save you alot of money in the long run!

Well tell us more. What designs do you like? What kind of budget? How will you drive the car? Then we can give more suggestions.

Thanks 1SICKLEX. I am a 35Y female nurse. I always liked to have wheels on any car I drive, but I don't like ghetto type wheels. I always had good taste when choosing wheels, always had the best comments. On the other hand when I choose one I get all kind of negative comments and that could be due to : Bias, one's own opinion, or cause someone just doesn't like whatever it is I am talking about. I don't drive much, few miles per day. I don't race, or drive hard. I just like it to look good. I liked this one for some reason. I know the VOSSENS or Giovanni, and many more can or may look better, nt chip as bad ad the DUB, but it may not!! I like many wheels, some are priced $8-9k WHILE SOME ARE $2k, including tires. It isn't that I am spending my last pennies on it, it is just that the guy who works in a shop is a good friend and is giving me a good deal. The sensors will be the same ones I have. He called 5 professional people and even though some people say it's Ok, they ALL said DON'T stagger the AWD. I have no idea why but 4/5 tried it and either tripped the AWD or didn't set right. So I am putting 8.5 20" with NITTO tires, which I hope are good because I heard many people in the forum saying they are, and because it is the 1st option the guy gave me. All of this for $2100, mounted balanced and all. I know many of you will hate it but some won't, including me. But I wanted to get a feel of it and if I do install them will post some pics.

I think you can do better......but that's just my opinion. At the end, of course you should go with whatever you like, it is your car and money

dcnaser:

if you're willing to splurge a little more, consider getting work wheels.

http://www.workwheelsusa.com/

they are good quality wheels and i guarantee you will be happy with them (whichever one you end up with). then comparison shop the wheels with one of our CL vendors and see who can give you the best price.
