GreenBelt,
the forgelines are out 680 per rim for a 17x8 is crazy. i found these over at www.rollhard.com they are forged and cost 405 per rim. i think the gun metal color will go good on my blue car what do you guys think?

hmm the spec's are not super clear on the site. Ill have to give them a call, whats considered lite for a 17x8 forged wheel.
 
11lb's HOLY...!! thats crazy whats the weight on the volks. i like the white ones on seans car but white will not work on my blue talon. i think gun metal is much better here is a pic of the volks and the forgelines

John sherphard has some bronze volks on his car. See if you can find a pic of those. I like the gunmetal look also. Check out the SSR Competitions at the Tirerack.com They are very light wheels.
 
the SSR COMPS are a choice i like the ro_ja formula 5's also

ro_ja formula 5's

Uh, uh, uh, spooge :p Sorry, happens every time I see John's car. To me his car is the standard by which all "streetable" DSM's should be measured. I absolutely LOVE his car. It's even my favorite color for the DSM. Lucky, lucky SOB :)

For $680/wheel I say screw the Forgelines (although the ones on the red Talon are SWEET!). I myself am thinking of trying to pick up some 3rg gen RX-7 wheels and powdercoating them either gunmetal or bronze. They only weigh like 11lbs. and IMO look GOOD on 1g's.
 
i dont know guys im kinda stuck, i really like the forgelines, but the cost is to much. with a 1g you either hit or miss. however when you miss you REALLY miss:mad:
 
When I say hit or miss, I am referring to the way aftermarket rims look on 1st gen cars. IMO they either look great or horrible.
 
agreed. i have seen so many 1g's with rims that don't look right. it seems that the simpler the rim the better on a 1g. the flashier rims look horrible on them.

DITTO.
 
that general rule does not apply to 2g's. you could slap 4 garbage can lids on some rubber bands, mount them & the damn car would still look good. :p seriously, i have seen many, many rims on 2g's & 90% of them looked good. NOT THE CASE WITH 1G's
 
I think the rims at the top of the page look better than volks. i think the popularity if the volk brand, has exceeded the actually look of the rim. The rims I really want is the forgelines. I need to get some more info on this rim. the site was not very clear on the weight.

I was confused for the longest time about what rims to use. I came across a killer deal buying a barely used set of konig subzeros. The 17 x 7.5 weigh in at 16.8 lbs each and are pretty cheap too!

Here is a pic of my car (no its not launching, it just doesnt have the engine in LOL)

Rota makes the subzero for konig. You can get them in a wide array of colors & they cost $500 a set for 16s & $550 a set for 17s. http://www.machiii.net/machiii/html/wheels.html is one site that sells them for those prices SHIPPED! You can get a set of 17s w/ 225 45 azenis for $1000 shipped. Shep has the slipstreams on his car this year w/ the slicks http://www.urbanracer.com/features/idrc16/0071.jpg. A few of my other choices are the new centerline wheels 13.5 # for a 17 (http://www.centerlinewheels.com/w_catalog/RPM_white.jpg $250 per wheel ).. & the new Velox wheels that are 12.5# for a 17 (just came out & was quoted $300 per wheel). Just a few thoughts.. as I'm in the market for wheels this summer also... need something light to replace my 17" enkei shoguns.. .which look awesome on a 1g by the way.
