need help picking out rims
 
hey guys, i know i could use search for this, but it seems like its too much. i really don't know what type of rims i should get for my car. all i know is i want it 19" or 20"(if there will be no rubbing on a drop on eibach) black with a chrome lip, stock weight or less, and some kinda deep dish lips on it. but as far as style and brand im really totally lost. i was originally looking at iforge drifts, but thats way to pricey for me, i was hoping to get something under 3.5k with tires. but i can go up to around 4, any good suggestions? thanks for all your help guys :D

im pretty dead set on black, cause i do like the gunmetal look, but i got my car in black just so i could get black rims haha. but i mean the cheaper the better, but i wana make sure their quality rims. =/

I have these wheels in chrome and i love them... here is a few pics with black face polished lip. My wheels where cheap 1900 shipped, 20" staggard, with falken 452's. So the black ones will run even less. and if u go for 19"s even cheaper.

ReLexin 11-19-07 05:24 PM

Stern St-II, i have 20x8.5 up front with 20x9.5 in the rear. the offsets are 34 in the front and 36 in the back i believe. there very stong wheels too. I have hit many serious size potholes and no bending!!!! knock on wood. the rear lip is a decent size too.

And the lexus center caps fit where the Stern one goes!!! thats a positive too

if you got the funds up to 4k, you might wanna look into some high end wheels.

you can get a set of works, volks, iforged, ect... for less than 4k with tires. all depends on who you get them from and if your willing to wait.

im waiting for my works right now, another month till they get here.

weesped 11-19-07 06:32 PM

hummm, 4k is like my max, i really want it for less. i got a quote for 3.2k for iforge drifts, wheels only from d2. but with the tires i want it'd be well over the max 4k mark for me. btw i really want toyo t1r's, i really like the way they look and they get pretty good reviews. but if it really comes down to it, any suggestions on some cheaper, but tires that perform well. maybe even have some nice tread patters :)

Wheels make and break the car. Get something good.

How about the SSR SP-1 Professors or the Work Meisters?

If you like 5 spoke then I would go for the Trial Iforged.

You should also check out Vendor Marketplace for some GB on rims.
