hi all....my car is in the shop right now getting a nasty new body kit on...the complete Vertex Lang!!!
Im running 19x8.5 Axis Hiros in bronze with Toyo Proxes T1Rs....
Ive got someone ready to buy my rims...cuz im ready to go a little bit more aggressive....
I dont wanna go with a standard spoke like i already have..
Im looking for something in a 12 spoke or there abouts...definitely in bronze or gold...staggered

perhaps
19x8.5 up front 19x9.5 in the rear
or
19x9 up front 19x10 in the rear

i love the sunk face style...i found an awesome rim..JDM...boyz zero 1 hyper..but they only come in 18s
i love the AME tracer FS01 ...but the bronze doesnt come in 19s..

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

it depends what offset you want!

it depends what offset you want!

prolly a little more aggressive than i had before...which was +45
maybe 35-38...nothing less than that..

you can go 18X9.5 35+ and 18X10.5 40+

you can go 18X9.5 35+ and 18X10.5 40+

im running with 19s so i dont wanna go back to 18s at this point...
at least i dont think they would look right...
whats your opinion..

I'm really feelin' the iForged wheels on your car shinka213. How do you like these? I believe they can do a custom finish for you too.

thanks guy!!!!

:D:

+1 for the Volk GTF's

I like the volk gt-vs or the j-lines. Never heard of jlines before, but they look quality. What about these: http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/volk_racing/ce28n_timeattack.htm . Time attacks but make it the shinka color. That would look neat and original.

JLine wheels = baller ;)

BigRed, none of the links you are posting are working.

I hope you keep your car for along time.

You'll never get your money back for expensive rims.

i love those j line but yeah they are expensive...but beautiful..


razz - dont plan on selling my car.....i already prolly have 20k in it already...
shes definitely a keeper..
:D:

Yeah but you deserve it! ;) You've worked hard!

j line=:drool:

pat not alot of gold and bronze choices, but you could first choose the rim then get them powdercoated.

btw see everyone sunday, looks like its gonna be perfect outside

just as an FYI Jline is manufactured by iForged

just an fyi..
made a decision on my rims...

volks gt-f gold ....top secret edition...

Seen these in person (or at least a set that look very similar)... you do not want to clean the spoke edge where it meets the rim.

holy crap those are nice!

Good choice! Now try not to think about them too much because it might be a while before they arrive! What specs did you end up with? Do I get some sort of kick back for the recommendation???

i know its gonna take about 3months...but well worth the wait!

It will most definitely be worth the wait. I hope it'll fly by quicker than your whole Vertex experience.

<ahem>

ma'am to you sir!! :lol:

do you want something with polish lip? mesh? less spokes or more?

Umm...She wanted something with more spokes. She ended up deciding on the GT-Fs.

ummm...i think around 10 would be good...possibly gold spokes with a polished rim..

:lol:

Axis supermesh will look good on your car. Hiros are damn ugly. Get rid of them now.

how bout these volks http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=117486

VR makes the ugliest rims ever with unreasonable price. I'll do some search and find better looking rims for a reasonable cost.

thanks skit for your input....
ive made up my mind...
going with gt-fs gold - top secret- special edition

Fact 1: Your suggested Axis Supermesh are for euroean cars p.c.d… (pitch circle diameter)
Fact 2: Volks are forged aluminum, not cast like axis
Fact 3: Weight (EX. Axis Hiros 19x8.5 - About 27 pounds each, while Volk CE28N are about 19.. Which is alot of rotational mass difference)
Fact 4: Ray’s been around since 1973 and have been widely used in motorsports in japan, Axis has been around since 1997 by some guys in CA.
Fact 5: Your suggested Axis Supermesh wheels are $300 a piece for 18". Not exactly cheap for a heavy wheel.. I'd rather have Enkie RPF1s for that price. (19lbs.)
P.S. Not hating or flaming... just stating facts so the free world can learn a thing or two about research.

Again Nice choice Shinka!! :biggthump

thanks wind!!!...
im getting excited about the prospect....
i have a feeler thread going in the FS section....
wont have any problem selling the Hiros...

:D:

i wonder how much do the wheels cost!

double secret probation rims???

cool.

Animal House quotes :ylsuper:

congrats on the rims pat, can't wait to see them.

:D:
No problem. Shouldn't be a problem selling Hiros since there is quite a few people running these.

i wonder how much do the wheels cost!
19" Volk GT Series.. I'd say in the ball park of 6-695 a wheel depending on the size you choose. So $2500-2900 shipped.
Sine there has been numerous complaints and hug demand Volk has decreased shipping time. Expected to about 6-15 Weeks instead of the old 3-5months deal.

Watch!
