Default Need help deciding on wheels

Ok guys so a few days ago I had all my rims taken from me in the middle of the night. The fools that did it didnt even have the courtesy of putting my car on bricks instead it was sitting on a spare tire and a scissor jack and the driverside was barely touching the ground. Well my insurance took care of it and now I am on the hunt for a set of concave 20's. I had fallen in love with the Rohana RC10 but unfortunately theres a wait on them and theres not an exact time frame that they will be available. My second choice was the Bavaria BC10 and theres a delay on those as well. But I found 3 other sets I may go with. The Forgestar cf10 or the lexani r10, or koko kuture lindos. Has anyone ever heard anything about the lexani wheels or koko kuture wheels? And is there any other wheels out there you guys recommend with the same style as the ones I posted below? I'm wanting the concave 10 spoke look with the machine face black accent look

Rohana RC10


Bavaria BC10


Forgestar CF10


Koko Kuture Lindos


Lexani R10

Of all the ones you posted I like the Koko Kuture Lindos and my second choice would be Rohana RC10.

If you really like the wheel you have chosen and if you think it suits you style then a few weeks to a couple of months wait is worth it.

Just to throw in the mix... You mentioned you like a deep concave 10 spoke wheel with machined face








Good luck on your choice and make sure you post pics

wow sorry to see it happen to you, I saw your car on easter weekend at Sunflower restaurant, but back to the wheels choices among those wheels I think the RC10 look better than the rest you post up, it has concave look and lip

RC10 is my number one choice but I spoke to the vendor here on the phone and he said that they have been delaying them since january and I even emailed rohana and they said its gonna be 6-8 weeks. My car is currently on jacks in a garage so yeah I cant really wait.

Did you try checking with some of our vendors in CL marketplace and maybe they might have put a set aside.

The Rohana RC10 and The Bavaria BC10 have not even been produced yet. The Bavarias are expected to be released by August

Another wheel I've come across is the Niche Touring Spa, just emailed the website I found it on, I would be all over this one if the lip wasnt black. I want it to be a machined face, black accents, and a polished lip

That's too bad... That's quite a wait considering your car is on jack stands right now.

The RC10 is great looking wheel. I know it's hard for you to pass up on it.

Just get a rental until you acquire your new wheels or borrow a vehicle from a kind hearted relative for the meantime.

From what I've seen, the forgestar cf10 don't go every concave. Even the more aggressive specs aren't very concave. It is a nice design, but if you're looking for something concave, your other options will be better for that.

i was looking at the Rohana RC10 before too, very nice looking wheels.

Forgestar CF10 will be nice if deeper concave

Well i guess it comes down to the koko kurture or the lexanis. I was running 20x8.5 35 offset with 245/30/20 before no rub and I'm dropped on meagan springs 1.25 inch drop. No fender mods no fender liner mods either. So Imma go the same route. Not sure how concave a 20x8.5 wheel looks bc i know most these pics that these websites posts are 20x10 wheels. Being Awd there's no point to go staggered
