Help with new wheels

**jamessr** · 02-08-2009, 08:49 AM

I'm finally about to make a move from stock wheels to some aftermarket ones.
I'm not looking to spend 2k on wheels but I'm pretty much open to any suggestions. Does anyone have any good places they'd recommend me checking out? Any help is greatly appriciated.

The tirerack website has a decent selection, also check this site's for sale section. Ebay would be a place to look as well for a good cheap price.

the rims are guna cost you money if you want something nice, id say a nice set is guna cost you minimum 1500. Good tires are guna be another 500+

the chrome z06 rims look sick on white TA's IMO

Personally I like TT2's, that's just me.

Not really...My Torque Thrust M's only cost me $1148 WITH shipping, locking lugs, tires, mounting, and balancing.

Polish Urs up really nice, and put some really sweet rubber under it!

That is what I would do...

Do you have a style in mind?

5 spoke, 5 spoke split, mesh, 10spoke?

17, 18, 19 ?

No lip, small lip, big lip?

Chrome, black chrome, silver, black, gun metal?

What style/finish do you like, or dislike ?

I still think that's a lot.

Not really considering shipping was $150 of that, the locking lugs were $40, and I got half price on the mounting and balancing so $10 there. Less than a thousand for rims AND tires before shipping. Pretty good I think.

Sorry, for the bad quality of the pic. Had to use my cell.
