Hello there,

First of all, I wanna thank you all for letting me know that most of the wheels out there are not as good as I thought, but I still needs some help to decide on what set of wheels I'm ganna go with

The first wheel I was thinking about is the VOLK GTP
I didn't even consider these until I saw this :bow: (ICrazyChrisI's tC)
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t320/icrazychrisi/Photoshoot/IMG_1210.jpg

The second one is the Racing Hart RS-721 Black
http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/hopup1_1987_20522814.jpg

I'm more into the deep dish but I don't wanna lose quality or looks just to go deep

the car is my daily, and not ganna be in the track so often

I wanna see your recommendation guys, Plz help me out with this

I'm planning to go 19" with rolled fenders, what fittments, tyres, and distributer would you recommend going through

I did do some research, I just need some more help

Thanks in advance

volks..... no question

as far as the 19's, how aggressive do you want to go and how much do you want to spend.

ASHRAF

if i would go with volks, i'll probably go with 17's or 18's

19's for the deep dish models such as the racingharts, or if you have any other suggestions

I don't have a problem spending the extra buck if I know for sure it's worth it, I don't wanna go up to 6k, but I would like to get a good set for agood price for sure, no set margins

i'd honestly go with 18" gtp's, honestly unless you go completely custom you'll be disapointed with the lip. plus i really like the volks and really hate the Racing harts lol

I'm ganna get a kami kit + kami CF hood + coil-overs

I don't know what will be the best way to go with that to get the best look

I think black with a lip and sitting flush would look real nice

what's you opinion

BTW nebstar, awesome tC, I'll be waiting for the pics to be released

nebster

with that look i'd go for the racing harts.

19x8 front et +35 and 19x9 rear et+40 would be the best i think. should be pretty sharp.

Racing Harts! :lalala:

x2

Not a fan of the Volks - they look flat to me, no depth.
Just my opinion, no Volk riders needs to feel flamed.

I think the racingharts will look way better with the kit as well, the volks looks awesome on a tucked stock tC, just like the one in the pic

SciontCya :bow: that's an awesome wheel

^^ Yeah, I think so too.
Kinda like my HP Evos, but I'm thinking about these...the "mercury" chrome is awesome looking.
Might move to a 19x9

work 1 pieces (emotion series) are good wheels

ASHRAF
02-22-2008, 05:05 AM
they are nice but i'm trying to push it to the maximum

i want the polished/chrome lip look

I'm looking at used ones in very good condition as well, andtrying to keep the package price with good rubber under $3500

nebster
02-22-2008, 05:12 AM
so with good rubber under 3500. anticipate 800 for good tires, 100 for mounting and 150 for good lugs which leaves you with just under 2000 for rims not including shipping.

check out volks for that price

ASHRAF
02-22-2008, 05:19 AM
that will leave me with around $2500 for wheels alone
and i'll pay the extra shipping

I'll check the volks

Thank you nebster

nebster
02-22-2008, 05:58 AM
check out these too

i used to run them. GREAT wheels.

ASHRAF
02-22-2008, 06:05 AM
I love the VY :bow:

I think i'm ganna be running them pretty soon

Q: SW tc W/ smoked tails, CF hood, and CF lip spoiler
will you go for black wheels to keep the white/black look, or get gold wheels to stand out more, i'm really confused

:bow: thank you nebster for taking the time to help me out, I appreciate it :bow:

nebster
02-22-2008, 06:14 AM
those will probably run you a bit over 3500 but you can see if you can get a deal on tires with them. i'd go with black personally. i think gold is getting overdone now.

Or get mine for $1400 shipped.. with Yokohama Parada Spec 2, and Rays Engineering Lugnuts :P

nebster
02-22-2008, 12:58 PM
didn't you JUST get those or are you talking about the same ones you have

02-22-2008, 02:04 PM
I would rock gold......but those VY are nice....


If your going to drop like 2k and 3k on rims...look @ work wheels..those are nice and have many different styles.... or go with SSR SP-1 those will cost like 2100..

I think the AUTOart wheels look sick (esp. the Porsche Carrera GT knockoffs, haha).

I still like gold wheels on a SW myself. But on the VY, the gunmetal looks like a very close 2nd in my book.
