Default Help Pick My Rims!!!

I'm still in a warp as far as picking out rims... I dunno whether to go for a race or bling look. I need custom offsets so any feedback is awesome. I would love to see photos of what YOU think will look the best. Thanks!

iForged, HRE, BBS, Kenisis. Any quality three piece wheel can be built to fit.

For the custom fitment and width you'll need, $800/wheel is a good ballpark. You may spend a little less and you can certainly spend quite a bit more.

Also, Simpson Racing Wheels

I finally decided on iForged. Appearance, Quality, Custom Fitment, Available Widths and price. No one can compete with iForged IMO.

I really like those CCW's alot, but it seems like everyone has them now. I'll try out iForged.

I don't know if they are actual race wheels or not but they have a totally different look, check out the Davin SP1's. I love them, but am nowhere near able to afford a new wheelset right now, so check them out - cause I know I'd love to have them.

i wouldn't go w/ the HRE if you plan on doing any type of actual racing w/ the beast.

i'm a fan of the CCW's myself.

Another vote for iForged. Might want to look into J-Line as well.
