just roll on what you like... and you should be able to get a better deal than 2500... my boy has the same wheels on his 00 civic... and i think he paid under 1500 for 17's package deal... plus this was maybe 3-4 years ago... it was a long while back

no. volks or no go... haha jk those are from the vendor section right? I do not like the bling and do not know much about the company. I say since you are spending over a grand on rims anyways, save up for HRE, Volk, Works, iForged, DPE, etc.. do not cheap out on rims.

Another cry to spend big bucks for what...to follow what everyone else does. The guy has already let us know he will not spend big bucks for wheels. For my 3 cars I have 1 high end set and the other 2 have cast wheels. The high end wheels are the one with problems. Chrome peeling, curb rash, lip need constant polishing, water gathers in the barrel...just too much trouble. I have a wheel/tire guide that gives a lot of good info about wheels. In it they state the main reason for buying mutlipiece wheels is you can change a damaged piece without buying a whole new wheel. Let me tell you breaking it down and repairing high end wheels cost almost as much as buying a new one. So no advantage. The guide also describes all the processes of creating wheels. Forging advantage is less weight. Who the heck cares. I ain't racing. Is anyone on this board racing their car? There are 3 types of casting. One seems to be so good there's no advantage of forging for the wheels that use it. The guide mentioned MRR as being of the same quality as work and 5zigen. I am sick of people saying get this or get that, cheap wheels are crap, and they do not know what they are talking about. Let's support the choices our members make. If you know some facts about problems, tell those who ask but don't make it sound like only 4K wheels are worthy of a Lexus.

These wheels have a great look and fat lips. My wheel shop swears by them. They sell these for $275 each for 19 inch chrome. I would have bought them for my G35 except that too many people are getting them here in Ft Laud. Even the install techs say they are of decent quality. Can't beat an endorcement like that.
