Best Brand of rim?

[wangtang]

What is the best, or some of the best, brand of rims? I wanted to get some Konigs, but i have been hearing that they bend easily. So what should i look into?

Thanx

I want Konig Appeals (eventually) but Im not paying $1,000+ if they bend easily

That's why I asked. I was going to get the Tantrums, but if they bend... why waste the money. I'm looking at both OZ and Enkei. They lool pretty nice.

I don't know if it was Tuners or talk but a while back there was a big poll on what the best "poor man's" rim was...

And most people said as far as weight, styling, and price goes you can't beat the Rota Slipstream. Momo GT2's and Arrow rims are also quite decent (pricing is a biatch on the GT2's still though)

People are going to have different opinions on what the best brand of rims are, but I'd have to say a few are: Volk, HRE, RacingHart, and Axis.

Konigs suck. Period. I wouldn't spend a dime on their knockoff crap.

Volk/Rays Engineering, Advan, upper range OZ (Their low end stuff is pretty mediocre though), Work, Weld, Wantanabe, KEI Office, SSR, Panasports, Speedline, certain BBS rims...

Enkei can range from absolute crap to meh.

I love Enkei

 

[DSMAddict]

Advan is way up there

 

[cfusionpm]

"brand X" generic knockoffs

my girlfriend has some 18" ssr hyper wheels on her car, they basically have the same look as the konig toxxin.
does anyone know if ssr is still in existance? i heard they changed to 5zigen brand.

My friend has Enkei's on his 00civic and they got bent on two of his rims just by going up and down a hill and bounced and it bent, the other hit a little hole and bent the outer lip. I personally dont like them.

I think OZ. Most People that have pretty nice cars, have them.

SSR is indeed still in existance. Although they're pretty much known as SPEED STAR.

And Konig ripped it off THEM, not the other way around.

ive had my villains for 3.5 yrs. still in perfect shape

 

[gtrvspec01]

ADVAN, VOLKS/RAYS, ENKEI, OZ, BBS, WORKS....etc.

TENZO R???? KONIG??? MOTEGI????? C'MON when did you see real race cars use these brands. Alot of them are knock off. They there cuz it's cheap, not because they are good.

A real GOOD Rim, is lightm, strong, and there are lots technology behind it. Some rim acutally able to direct air to rotor when it rotate. And most important is, they don't copy other's style, AXIS start up by copy ADVAN TOURING rim, and continue to copy other Japanese rims' style.
