Need some help with some wheels

by **themAnwiththeBaM** » Wed Jul 28, 2004 9:54 pm

Hey guys, I searched but couldn't find anything particular to my question. I have nasty 16" wheels on it now, and one is bent. I was looking for some that don't look too bad, but don't bend easy. Louisiana is known for its horrible roads, So I want something that I'll be ok taking down the road a little fast and it not bending. If anyone has any input or thoughts about some wheels, let me know.

It's better to go and LOOK for wheels first then ask if they are reliable. We don't know what you like and what ur willing to pay. You'll probably want to stick with 16" or 17" wheels tho.

yea i wouldnt go below a 45 profile tire... so you probably woudnt want to go above 17s.. maybe even stock rims/tires? i think aftermarket rims smaller than 17s would look weird on the solara, especially with bigger tires.. just my opinion.

18's look best with the suspension drop. Try SSR Comp's, they won't bend, but they are salty.

Before deciding to go with some 19's you better have fairly deep pockets. Remember they cost more and on top of that, when you get tires for 19's they cost A LOT more...you will sacrfice a lot more ride quality. And if you blow you a tire it will cost a butt load to get a new one, and it takes llonger to get a new 19 in tire ordered.....

19"? He said he doesn't want rims that bend easily.

fine, you pothole wussy, quick solution. Forged 15" wheels. Try to bend those on your constantly-under-construction roads.

The best CHEAP forged solution is probably a brand called ADR. The rim is forged (circle part) but the spokes are not (from what I've heard)

i would go with a 17" wheel if you are concerned with bending your wheels. But if you are going on looks alone you can go up to 20" on the solara.
