Time to Change My Silver RH Wheels (2 years old)

OK, I've decided to get some new wheels. Something a little darker. Perhaps gun metal or CF. I'm looking for suggestions and links if you got them. O'Yes I'm running 17 with no desire to go larger.

I think I'm feeling these. What do you think??

are you selling your old wheels Greg?

by **Paladin06Greg** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 7:38 am

Yea, I think so. The tires and wheels as a set.

the ones in the link look good, but I'm not a big fan of the fake 2-piece look, unless those really are 2 piece.

17" SSR Comps look very similar but with 6 spokes, 13lbs, $335 each @ tirerack, I think. In retrospect I wish I had got them.

when going with a 5 spoke I think it looks much better with widers spoke, like this one, even though its not the color you want

what do you guys think of this one?

i think you will find something you like more by browsing wheelmax's site.

I think some other people use to say if you have deep dish and your on 17s, it looks smaller then what it really is....so yeah kinda sucks like what I have.

Either that or my car isnt drop yet :drinking:

What about these? Brand new design and they only weight 16lbs. They will be Gun Metal of course..

Hey Greg,

All the wheels you are looking at are nice. But i dont think it suits what you have done for performance/looks wise. With the amount of work you have done i would go with some nicer quality wheels such as SSR, BBS, Ray's Gram lights, Or Volks or even 5zigen. These company's makes wheels are are either forged or Semi-forged so you have light wheels but strong at the same time.

I would hate to see a nice car on the street and look down and see Tenzo-R's or some replica wheels. Also with the power you have wanna make sure to stay with light wheels so you can get all you can for your engine.

Just my personal opinion..

You made several very good points. Thanks for info. I'll start my search anew.
