wheel specs and recommendations

Greets,

I am shopping around for wheels for my 8, but I need to know the specs on the stock wheels so I can get new wheels that properly fit. Can anyone tell me the correct size other than 18x8? Also, I am trying to stick to $300US and under per wheel. Any suggestions?.

also bolt pattern is 5*113.4. Do a search all this stuff have been asked and answered. Check out axis rims, they're pretty affordable and offers some great designs.

Close! It's actually 114.3

Philodox, if you're looking to improve handling and performance - get the lightest wheels you can (lighter than the stock ~21 lbs), and stay with the same size wheels (and tires) front and rear.

Regards,
Gordon

It is hard to get that under US$300.

Compare with the Enkei 9.8kg and Volks TE37 7.8kg or CE28N 7.3kg

Stock wheel is pretty light. Some good brands even heavier than stock in 18x8.5".

Good luck looking

The largest I would go is 8.5 and 9.5 (f/r) respectively and be careful with offsets...
