Felt like there was a need to have a thread dedicated to wheels to prevent clutter on other threads :heckno:

This thread would be to answer questions such as:
What wheels do you like? What wheels do you have? What's your opinion on cheaper wheels or more expensive wheels? Cast or forged? Will this fit on my car? and etc.


I'll start. I like old-school styled wheels, such as Watanabes, Longchamps, etc.

Deep dish VIP-styled wheels are very nice in my opinion as well. Wanted to get a legitimate set of these back when I still had a Lexus.

Currently rocking XXR 537s on the CRX... I really like the old school look to them. I like the step lip and the fairly simplistic design of the wheel itself

Next set of wheels for me would be something like this. Love the step lips

Borbet type A in 18x8.5 on my mk5. These were probably one of five sets in this size in north america.

Got rid of them for stock wheels. I may get a set of AC schnitzer type 1s next.

I think I'm over the "wheel phase" though as I have no interest in the stance thing anymore. I like OEM plus with some drivability enhancements more than cosmetics now. Driving is too fun to worry about every little pothole.

the e28? was too slammed. ripped the driveshaft centre bearing/support apart and tore apart the underbody of the car. dismantled for parts. it lives on in a bunch of buddies e28's



m systems with turbine covers. 17x8, forged, turbines suck in air to cool brakes. look weird but i love them.

Always had a thing for R32 GTR OEM wheels, which just happen to fit on my Element and I managed to get a good deal on a pristine set with centre caps intact when the opportunity came around. Forged magnesium and 7kg per wheel, awesome!

And of course I love Watanabes as well, especially the Type-R style with big lips. Planning to get an ND Miata hopefully before the end of the year depending on my finances, and I'm actually looking to stick some legitimate Watanabes on the car. These wheels aren't cheap though, especially the Type-Rs which are around $700/wheel.

But I also like the Watanabe lookalikes Rota makes, the RKR, they look awesome in the 15x8 +0 as well as their larger 18" offerings.

Only ever bought 1 set of nice wheels.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk262/RDazr/Toyota%20MR2/20140719_135405_zpsd6gps8i9.jpg (http://s282.photobucket.com/user/RDazr/media/Toyota%20MR2/20140719_135405_zpsd6gps8i9.jpg.html)

Work Meister S1R and S1. Getting a bit tired of the silver face, might do something crazy and stupid in the near future and have them painted teal or something. I've dreamed of having these wheels ever since I got the car, with inspiration from the red widebody devil wing MR2 that is Internet famous.

Next set I wanna try something wider, something like a 17x9 and 17x10. I'd love CCW Classics with custom offsets and such, but I can't afford that shit :fuckthatshit: Most likely gonna be Regamasters or something that has decent lip.

I'd also love to get a set for the GSR, but we'll see how budgeting goes. Something that's old school would be cool, like meshies or Longchamps. Plus, snails is already rocking the Whistlers on his DA, so I can't do that anymore :haha:

I like simple wheels that are light weight. For example, what i'll be putting on my car at some point; Forgestar CF5 18x10 in Brilliant Silver. Forged, 20lbs/wheel, and remarkably inexpensive.

20x10.5 @ less than 26 lbs. Forged, Monoblock, great design, easy to clean. Oh and you can find them used all day every day for $1500.

And they look awesome on like everything:

first set of aftermarket wheels:

not sure why, but the "licensed by BBS" printed on the centrecap made me love them more

then I bought replica LM's cause I love the look and hate the price.

Nice thread. Wheels are my thang for sure. I like to collect them; for no real reason at all.

I'm pretty partial to Volk monoblocks. At one point I had the quad-fecta of Monoblocks(CE28N, TE37, RE30, SE37K) but sold my RE's to Noran last year. Still have the other 3 sets. Also a set of SW388 which I'll be rocking soon. The Desmond design is as timeless as they come. I spent a lot of time browsing through ICB's passed wheels they sold. Lots of cool JDM stuff in there. RC Stark II's and III's are awkwardly awesome. I'd love to find a set in 16x7 or 8. Love Borbets, love ATS Cups, love BBS, love Works. So many wheels I'd love to have, so little money :(

As for the real vs fake debate; it's ok as long as you're not faking the funk. RAYS decals on Grids. Fuck that shit makes me mad. I've had a couple sets of Rota's and they were fine. One GT3 was bent right outta the box though so I just got a quick discount from the seller at the time. You get what you pay for so as long as you're realistic in your expectations you'll be fine. If you are just going for a look then by all means buy what you can afford. I like strength and lightweight so I choose Volk and they have never disappointed :thumbsup:

and in response to thread.. my only preference for wheels are that they're not blatant rip offs of another design.... i dont support companies that try to make a quick buck by copying designs.. that's all! :o

http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm195/drivelinestore/JDMegoFrame.jpg?t=1245608970

I have one of these hanging in my office. I ordered 3, gave one to Jay, and put the other one on my car.

Y U NO LUV ROTA SLOTROLLGUY?!!1??

These are probably my favorite wheels ever.
While I'm slowly leaving the import world, I still have the dream to put these on my 67' Beaumont.

Imagine those, on this.

Here's my wheel timeline:


Back when I had no clue about wheels - 20" Katana GT10 - heavy as fuark
https://scontent-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/t31.0-8/11157465_684690288325983_329835411842254788_o.jpg

Upgraded to Avant Garde M368 19"
https://scontent-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/t31.0-8/10553921_545401085588238_3326986868724661887_o.jpg

Bought both sets of these - XXR 521 and XXR 526 - both 18" in the most aggressive offsets. Boohoo I crashed my Lexus, so I sold both sets before ever mounting them

When I had my Del Sol, it's first set was XXR 501s in gloss black
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10411781_512548075540206_8238080682338805509_n.jpg ?oh=db5364799f0188b2531b6c12a89ac189&oe=55A0052A&__gda__=1436070208_4ff053cca4c6cdc7a671b09150c0f0e 8

I didn't like the gloss black 501s, so I sold those and picked up gunmetal 501s LOL :fullofwin:
https://scontent-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/t31.0-8/10380145_523508584444155_8834496134695488443_o.jpg

Then I picked up my CRX which had Enkei RP01s...
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/1549426_617310435063969_7500970424389028121_n.jpg? oh=1c808a687438138658ae1ede396ca01d&oe=55DDE21F&__gda__=1441019426_0f80b20d69fecfdea7b488a22574aba d

I didn't like the RP01s so I sold those to pick up XXR 537s
https://scontent-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/t31.0-8/11169637_688119677983044_2960687568792161730_o.jpg

Bringing these tomorrow to TSS to mount them on new tires. They were meant for the Del Sol which I already sold... so the CRX gets another set (but it will serve as bedroom decor in the meantime). AVID.1 AV-19 in gloss white w/ polished lip

I hate bbs or euro wheels on Hondas , I hate modern designed wheels like rotiforms on Hondas. I hate the whole hella flush stanced out thing going on.

I like that you hate those things. I hate them as well. I do like the stance thing to an extent though. When done well its pretty awesome. When half assed or way too extreme it just ends up like a train wreck.

I just wanted to share some of the wheel design collection I worked on for Concavo Wheels in 2012-2014. I mostly sketched out some doodles, Photoshop renderings, and then modeled them in Alias Automotive for visualization for the manufacturers. I have a couple more sets that should be coming out this year. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
