New rims HELP!
 
Alright finally for me to move on to getting some new rims. I have a low budget and would like to keep it under $600. Is there any websites you guys recommend to get some new rims?

I was thinking rotas haha. Another opinion for you guys to decide. BRONZE OR BLACK?

VS8 nice website haha there local as well so i can visit them haha. But the question is why does rotas not make much 18 inch rims? there all like 17 etc.

VS8 12-30-2008 01:02 AM

dhan 12-30-2008 03:14 PM

Theres no 18 inch! ahh lol

Renesis07 12-30-2008 03:27 PM

yea, their selection of 18's seems very limited.....

dhan 12-30-2008 04:12 PM

Anyone prefer other brands around $550 ?

VS8 12-30-2008 04:17 PM

ive looked only ones i like are drag...but they arent good quality

risky business 12-30-2008 04:19 PM

people say you get what you pay for and all that jazz but i am VERY satisfied with my sportmaxx wheels. They may be alittle heavier however they are incredibly strong and i have heard great things about them in that area from friends who have hit huge potholes or run into curbs and never bent them. Also, how much weight the wheel takes when it is balanced can say a lot about it. for instance, german wheels almost never take much weight where as american wheels take a lot. the cheaper the wheel the more weight typically. my wheels took almost no weight, about half an ounce per wheel which is incredible, much less then the stock wheels.

^Mazdatrix uses sportmax's for their drift FC's.

hell, i bought the same one's and now i have them for sale <== shameless plug

dhan 01-16-2009 04:34 PM

Sorry for bringing these alive but would you guys rather get gold rims on a black car or bronze rims?

TopGear8 01-16-2009 04:44 PM

^Depends on what kind of wheels they are, and what other appearance mods you have done to your car. Both will look good.

Renesis07 01-16-2009 04:45 PM

You should look at atillas wheels.

Theyre right in your price range and they would look badass on your car.


**I better get a commission for my prospecting efforts :suspect: ****

dhan 01-17-2009 05:22 PM

Haha appearance package wise lets say its stock? only did stuff for performance. Basically the rims are about to be my first appearance mod lol. Oh yes and they are Drag from Tiredirect.com around $130 a pop

I was planning on getting blue 5zigen lug nuts for the bronze rims but i do not know if it will look good on gold? maybe red?

Bunique 01-17-2009 05:32 PM

I like the 1st ones in gold better but don't know if i'd like them in bronze, so i would go with 2nd choice.
