Wheel brand(s) question

[jwlson]

Alright, other than Volk, Racing Hart, Roja.... what are some other quality wheels? I am in the market for a set of rims, but everytime I buy a set, a week or so later I stumble across another set that I like better.
Also, feel free to post your favorite retailer's website as a reference if intersted.

Right now I like the Enkei GTV's but I want to be certain.

Just in need of some ideas

Can't go wrong with Volks, Rota, Enkei, Racing Hart and other name brands (of course, you can always find knock offs of volks under some other company and brand name.)

Rim choices are always a hard decision for people because there are so many out there... Find the style that you like, and are sold on.. It took me like 4 weeks of deciding and talking to other people to pick my rims.

You should have bought my Volks Brad...jk

It all depends on your budget...if you hvae a few thousand you can always go with Rota, Volk, Advan, Blitz, Gram Lights, Enkei (some of them most are cheap), And really any decent 2 or 3 piece wheel. If you want to save money, get a single cast knock off. Its all about what you like. I personally like my name brands, Hence i ordered a custom color set of Volk GT-us....With the rims and tires it was near 3800 dollars. But I had to pay a large amount extra to have the color i wanted from the factory also..

same here, then the night before i was going to order the rims i wanted... i saw another car in town with the same ones!!! turns out he just got them that week. good thing it took me so long. however, it took another 4 weeks to decide again though, but i'm glad i took my time. i'm still happy with my decision.

as for yours... take your time, find the set you really like, and trust your gut feeling... just do it! don't skimp, becuase you'll be sorry later if you do something your not 100% sure of for your rims. you'll want to sell them and get news ones every othermonth! good luck searching man!

It really depends. Advan's are pretty sweet but they are really costly(500+ a wheel). Work wheels are also very stout. As a matter of fact, Super Street has Work wheels on it's SRT-4.

Volks ...
Rotas ...
HREs <--- unaffordable
Advans r very expensive, but well worth it to have something that light na dthey r very unique... i have a friend selling a set of 5 spoke 17" Advans (5x114) wrapped in Parada Spec-2's for 1900...

I recommend Rota. They are affordable, durable, lightweight and look good.

I wish my Racing Harts were that cheap, .

I've heard Racing Harts are pretty soft. I'm absolutley in love with the C5's, but I don't wanna buy them and bend them in a week...
