I have my current setup for sale, but you'll have to save up a little more. Check the wheel classified for my AME FX's.

Buy a cheaper knock-off, have it bend, crack, fade, and chip, then you'll have your answer.


My FX's are below $3k and include tires!!!!

Just keep what you have since they don't look bad on your car.

Id say Varianza if you can stretch the budget buy about 800 or so. If not I'd vote for VOSSEN 075, or XIX 05


VOSSEN




XIX

Varianza T1s are pretty nice, but a lot of people have them now. They are purty pricey but you won't regret buying em. =)
