Ideas Please

[melicha8]

I'm shopping for wheels right now and I found a couple I like. I wanted something simple but not to the extent that it would look stock and here is what I came up with:

Forza's by AR Wheels

067's by Racing Hart

AT 180's by ALT

and R6's by Moda

I like the Forza's and the R6's the most. What do you guys think? Show us what you got on your car and we'll make this a wheel gallery

If you're looking to get away from the stock look, then I say steer clear if anything with a 5 spoke look and definately stay away from silver. Go with some with a polished lip preferably in a different color like dark bronze, gunmetal or flat black. Before we can really give you idea of what we think, we'll need to know what you more concerned with, looks or performance. Here are a few decent ones

only 14lbs on these 17's

17.4lbs for this Enkei

I like how you post the weights APEXi....because for me that is always a determining factor.....looks are important too of course, but ultimately I'd want something that would give some actual noticeable weight reduction over our quite heavy stock rims.

Hey Apexi, what kind of wheels are the first type you posted. They look a lot like the OZ superleggra's I've been looking at on Tirerack.

Volk Racing wheels are always nice, lightweight and forged.

You forgot one thing! Expensive!!

Melicha8 if I was to get any of the rims you posted, I'd probably go for the R6's by Moda. They keep a nice clean look and would give you the opportunity to show off a big brake kit if you got one.

20ESGUY, those wheels are imported through AKT USA. They're called the Model II, sadly I didn't read the description for the wheel before I posted it. It says they are specifically designed for vehicles with low offsets like 35+ and lower. Our offset if 42+

How about these from D Power, I don't have an exact weight unfortunately. But they're supposed to be light since they are a Forged 2 piece wheel and yes these come in our offset and bolt pattern. Upto 19x7.5 inch
Brone w/polished lip

Hyper Silver w/polished lip

The Hyper Silver is supposed to be very nice looking

The only ones that I see that even compare to the stock rims are the D power Hyper Silver w/ polished lip. I personally will keep my stockers.

Hey Melica...

Are you sure the second wheel in your original posting is a RAcing Hart? I don't ever recall RAcing Hart making a wheel called the 067 or even looking like that either unless they are super old. Just curious.

I like the Volk Gram Lites that ApexiStud posted (2nd one, black/gunmetal colored). They come in like 3 different styles and all are super light weight. Expensive though!

I also like the D Power ones too.

Actually those rims I posted above are called Starform R2. There are 3 different kinds of Gram Lights

57C which are Cast

57F which are Forged "my personal favorites

57Pro which have a polished lip (sorry for the tishy pic)

Thanks guys for all the idea's. Maybe I didn't phrase it right. I wanted something in between custom and stock which is why I like the Moda's I just wanted some that weren't to flashy and would go with my silver paint. I don't like the black rims because they don't stand out and when I see cars with them I think they have steel wheels on their cars. I just want something that performs well but still looks good. Something wide 17-7, 17-7.5, 16-7, (16-7.5<--do they have these?). I want my car to handle like a champ.

I heard you bro, I just wanted to give you an "idea" of what you could be missing. My bad.... The Moda's look fine, but what's the weight on them?
