Default Which Rims?

Looking into some cheaper rims. So about 1k is my limit. Here are my options in staggered form


5-Zigen FN01R-C - Hyper Black
18x8.5 30mm offset
18x9.5 22mm offset


ADR M-Sport
18x8.5 35mm offset
18x9.5 35mm offset


Enkei RZ-5
18x8.5 24mm offset
18x9.5 25mm offset


Motegi Touge
18x9 25mm offset
18x10 30mm offset


Stern ST-1 Face III Beast
18x8.5 20/35mm offset
18x9.5 25mm offset

Garnet Red Pearl. I want the red/black theme.

Im kinda digging the Motegi Tougue's. What do you guys think?

Get some Work Emotion CR KAI's. 18x9.5 +12 Offset. They can usually be had used for a around $1100-1400 depending on condition and color. They're much better looking than the 5zigen's, and they're much better quality than ADR's and Motegi's and whatnot.

The XT7 and XD9 are both awesome as well, but more pricey and hard to find.

XD9-


XT7-

Fair enough. You might be able to find them new around $1500, but you'd have to look around. Wheels are just something that I don't recommend going the inexpensive route. Of the brands that you mentioned, I'd go with the 5zigens. They don't look the best, but they're the best quality of the brands you mentioned.

Hot Wheels Sixty-Eight's. 18x9 +24 offset

$179/rim

Another option that are fairly cheap.

Stay on the look-out. Some used works or volks (try checking the wheel classifieds, there are plenty) in decent condition will last you longer and keep you happier than any of these knock offs.

if it had to be one of the above listed, i'd go with the 5zigen. tho if you throw those works into it, i'd say you can't go wrong with either of those

xotic sc: i think i found the rims i'd put on the rs4, those work emotion xt7's would look nice.

What kind of driving do you do with your car? I know everyone probably hates Rotas, but the P45 staggered can't be beat for a cheap, light track wheel...

Plus you can get black with a red lip which I think looks rad.

I generally don't care for the riveted look, especially since most "riveted" wheels aren't even multi-piece.

That link is great for Rotas; that guy keeps large inventory and ships quickly.

If you are thinking of those Falken wheels I would just go with the Rota D2. Looks exactly like the SP-1 even comes staggered. I think they were 650 a set.
