Hello everybody,
I'm looking for a wheel similar to; Sparco RTT524 Machined w/Anthracite Accent (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=W29044504AMF&wheelMake=Sparco&wheelModel=RTT524&wheelFinish=Machined+w%2FAnthracite+Accent&showRear=no&autoMake=Nissan&autoModel=Maxima+SE&autoYear=2000&autoModClar=&filterFinish=All&filterSize=18&filterBrand=All&filterSpecial=false&filterNew=All&filterWeight=All&sort=Weight) But i want it to be higher end, not gravity cast crap. I'd rather not spend more than 400/wheel, but i may go a bit more of they're perfect. Thanks!
EDIT: And in Silver. No black :)
EDIT 2: Upped my budget.

Beggers can't be choosers.

You want higher end, but don't want to pay more than $250 a wheel?
:facepalm:
Maybe you can luck out on some used wheels?

spend the dough on some quality wheels man, rotational weight savings is worth it. cheap out on other shit.

I didn't realize a grand for a set was cheaping out... I figured it was right in the middle between crap, and ultra high end.. I'm not looking for Vossens, or BBS, Or adv. 1's for a winter wheel... I just want a good, high quality wheel that won't break the bank, and is in a 5 spoke design.

Then go with the sparco?

I would, But i want something that's silver... Those are machined with a black accent. Suppose i bump my budget up to ~400 a wheel. What do you suggest now?

5zigen FNR01-c or Motegi Traklites?
Both good quality, affordable, five spoke wheels.

Thanks, But not quite what i was looking for. I kind of like the "square" spokes.

Vossen cv3 starts at around $460?

Otherwise look at the enkei rp03? Pretty similar design to the wheel you posted.

Ah, Vossens. They're awesome to look at, And the CV3's are probably my favorite... But The best price i can find them at locally from a Vossen dealer is 550. Which after tax is 2450. That's almost 800 more than the top end of my budget, And on the others, i really don't like how the bolt area is so rough, I like it when it's just simple holes. Once again though, Thanks for your suggestions! I honestly DO appreciate it.

Yeah I really, really like the cv3s.

Varrstoen's are pretty affordable and fit the TE37 style, they also don't come with ugly universal bolt holes iirc.. not sure how great the quality is though, maybe someone else can chime in

Your probably kidding, but some part of me is holding out hope you're not... :suspicious:

Oh shit sorry fail on my part!
I thought the $1440 was for a set but those are HREs after all... :okay:

^ I'd be all over them if HRE's were 1440 a set.
dared3vil0
08-27-2012, 03:18 PM
Yup. Exactly what I was looking for, if those really were 1450 a set, they of already been ordered. LOL

Yeah I don't think you're gonna find a QUALITY set of wheels for $1600 unless you get a good deal on a used set. And you can forget about getting forged wheels.
But here a couple that kinda look like what you want: (nope not cheap nor forged)
Advan GT (http://www.yokohamawheel.jp/brand/advan_gt/index_jpn.html)
Advan TCIII (http://www.yokohamawheel.jp/brand/advan_tc3/index_jpn.html)

If HREs were that cheap, i would've had a couple sets already!
With that budget, it's hard to get something that is not cast. You are looking for forged wheels?

i think people are mis understanding, i just meant i don't want gravity cast wheels (simply for their usual high weight) but i wouldn't mind a low weight gravity cast, or a pressure cast wheel.

just get some enkeis or xxrs :troll:

08-27-2012, 08:36 PM
This may be a stupid question, But would it be reasonable to assume i could get USED 18" TE37's WITHOUT tires for 400 each?

highly doubt it, considering how rare those wheels are locally. + its hard to get used wheels in width, offset, condition you are looking for

just get some enkeis or xxrs :troll: The problem is most XXR's seem to have a sort of Universal bolt pattern, Which i HATE more than almost anything. :devil:
