Best Budget Rims

[Egst]

YOUR opinion, but best rims that are not to much money for a silver 2g dsm?

 

[dsm03]

Craigslist or ebay if you are on a budget, cheap and will get the job done

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Anything that you like that is used but in good condition.

 

[Silver99OZ]

Your best bet is to look through the gallery at some silver 2gs. This is not something that we can exacty answer for you. Maybe check out some Rotas, I like some of them and have had the Subzero in bronze on my car. I usually just check craigs list all the time when looking for new wheels and jump on a good deal when one pops up.

 

[4Lurker4]

I agree with both the above, if you're confined by cash, just buy something you like used.

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Those would look good on a silver car.

Honestly, a set of steelies with awesome tires on them....
I've always liked black steelies, they look aggressive in a very businesslike, industrial way.

Mine were cheap on ebay brand new 300 shipped!

there good quality and not too heavy

It's YOUR car. YOU pick what wheels best fit YOUR budget and YOUR car.

Good attitude, you'll do well here. Leave them stock or shop on your own, this is an opinion deal, there's no information we can give you unless you do something stupid, like buy the wrong bolt pattern.

 

[Xeiros]

Just paint your stock rims if you're on a budget, and put the money elsewhere.

 

[bradselph]

says they fit 5x100 and 5x114.3

so they will work

Oops...Only looked at what they provided in the item specific box ebay has. Didn't look at the actual description

Good catch

I think you should just look around on the web for inexpensive wheels. I dont think there is necessarily a "best" rim, just what you prefer as far as looks, and the lighter the better.

I like how mine look, they are 17" Konig Incidents, i got them for $105 each. Only problem I have with them is that they are heavy (I think around 27 pounds each )

Heres a picture on my car:
Dont mind how dirty the car is, and the quality of the picture. Was taken with my phone after a couple hundred miles on wet freeway.

mine are about 15-20 pounds each and cost about 75 bucks each shipped

Rota all the way! I've had my Rota Boost's on my sentra for 5 years now. No issues. $500 for 5 rims and tires.

 

[dsmspick]

There are tons of cheap options. 3g rims, 3k/stealth rims, evo rims(more pricey), there are others that will fit for cheap.

 

[LiquidX]

There are also reasons as to why they are so cheap too compared to the actual wheel they copied from.

 

[bradselph]

mine came brand new mfg date stamped in 2001 all 4 of them

Boxes looked like they were in a old warehouse but they were crisp when i cut the once clear tape off.

I would expect them to be new, however the materials and manufacturing process will be differnet between the genuine wheel and the knock off Rotas.

Lets not turn this thread into another real wheel vs fake wheel battle royale.

In my opinion the best looking wheels and incidentally the most affordable wheels for our cars are the ones they came with from the factory. I have a preference for 2GB Eclipse 16" polished GST 5 spokes or the 17" GSX wheels. Another great and affordable upgrade are 3000gt wheels. Look on craigslist for people parting out their cars.
