Wheels I want Connoisseur
 

So, I've been wanting some new wheels for like a month now. I got into a car accident a little while ago and long story short I needed new wheels. So I bought my current wheels in hurry to get my car back on the road. (its my daily driver) since then I've been wheel shopping like crazy. Finally, onto the reason of this thread.

What do you guys think of these wheels? All opinions welcome. But let me clarify, I don't track my car, so weight isnt an issue for me. And I like clean simple designs.

I think those looks pretty good. Get someone to do a quick photoshop of them on your car and see what you think before you buy

Ehh for that price not bad. I'm going to try and be honest without offending anyone, OK nvm lets just say that I'm not a fan of ANYTHING chrome but to each their own.

I'm not really a fan of chrome either. But from the looks of it, these look more like a polish then actually chrome. Either way, I'd probably have them stripped and painted bronze. I love bronze!

This is all if I can sell some tires though. :/

:lol: Do you even know what the width is or the offset?

I like the meshy ones you have on your sig better

Yes I do. I talked to the guy about it. 19x8.5 +30 in the front and 19x9.5 +40 in the back.

The mesh ones were nice. But unfortunately those were the ones that got damaged :tear:

So you think that setup will work for you huh? The look of those wheels is alright, but why do you care what we think about them?

The wheels in my sig were 19x8.5 +30 all around. It might not be the most flush setup, but I'll be happy with it. Happier than my current wheel setup!

Stagger = fail. But then again you don't track or drive hard so it won't make a difference.

How so? I know it throws off the balance for track or autocross, but is there another reason?

Biggest problem is not being able to rotate expensive tires. Plus looks, my Volks were staggered and I always wished the fronts had the same lip as the rears. Concavness (not a word) comes into play as well. It just doesn't look good IMO.

read the sticky

+1. But that would require effort.

Well tires arent an issue for me, fortunately. I get free tires where I work. With regards to the rear having more of a lip, I actually kinda like that look lol. Unless its too drastic of a difference. I'm still waiting on more pics from the seller to see the fronts compared to the rears. Theres also another set of wheels I have my eyes on. Rota Torque 18x9.5 +28 all around. Seller is asking $200 more though. But again, it all boils down to selling these tires I have. If I have enough for either, I'd probably get the Rotas. Although I really wish they were authentic Works :sad:

$500 with tires is a good deal. Anyway, if you decide to get it, take some pictures and post it...i wanna see how it looks on your rx8. ;)

Well, looks I won't be getting these wheels :(

damn - i used to really want those wheels a while back when a forum member was selling them. $500 was a good price considering...

Thats the car that made me want these!!! I was even gonna have them painted bronze. But I have a set of tires that just won't sell! Lol

I have a set of 19" staggered Stern Yoshi wheels on my car (275/30/19 rear and 245/35/19 front)and I love the way it handles. With the stockers, the back end comes out at will, but with the 275s on the back I can come into any corner as fast as I want and it just sticks! Point where I want to go and mash the skinny pedal! No drama.
