Finally found rims I like

After spending a ridiculous number of hours on the internet searching through what feels like thousands of wheels, I finally found one that fit my requirements. My requirements were: looks good, lighter than stock, affordable. I was surprised at how difficult those requirements were to fill, but persistance paid off.

I'm getting the R1 Racing GTR 6 machine polished in 18 x 8.5. They weigh 17lbs a piece and I got a deal through America's Tire for only $193 each. They're back-ordered; (the guy even called R1 Racing and they are all out of stock...must be popular).

Anyways, I've attached a pic. Can't wait to get them installed!

i think your thinking of the r-1 racing forged wheel line. those are quite pricey but the wheels our friend is ordering are not the forged, they are simply cast wheels.

if i could get forged wheels for $193 a piece id be all over it man.
