View Full Version : Having some trouble deciding on rims...
TheQuietThings 04-25-2007, 04:58 PM SO now that the warmth and sun are finally here to stay in NYC, its time to buy some new rims for the new whip. However, i need some opinions. I've decided to go with an 18" rim. (No 19's - city streets arent very fond of them). Anyways, i want to know what everyone thinks of the choices ive narrowed it down to. Keep in mind when commenting, I don't care if anyone thinks my choices are played out, or if they are too expensive, a few hundred extra for different rims is worth it IMO. I think i'm either going with Widetracks or Crosshairs. But anyways, thanks for the opinions and comments :bow:

Neothin 04-25-2007, 05:35 PM meh, lots of people have axis and konig models on their cars, be different.
the r-1 victory's are a nice wheel. r-1 had a display at a recent show and i got to see their full lineup. they had a set of victory's on a yaris and the lip was nice ^^
i've never heard of tenzo (unless it's the tenzo-r seat people)... wheel isnt bad looking though.
i run enkei's, of course i have to recommend them! i've run over quite a few potholes and have my wheels even thought about bending? heck no.
salteen 04-25-2007, 05:36 PM pick the 4 you like the most and get 1 of each...problem solved. :P
I really like the last one, the Konigs
take4roll10 04-25-2007, 05:42 PM I personally like the way black rims look on white cars. I think it stands out more than gun metal. I like the style of the first rims.
TheQuietThings 04-25-2007, 05:49 PM im thinking Konigs...
but keep the opinions coming@!
gizmokat 04-25-2007, 05:54 PM not the axis widetracks... there have been like three consecutive posts of people wanting... or having them ;P
they're HOT and I love that style (which peeved me cus i'm still waiting to get rims), but still... I prefer originality ;P
The rs3.0 has a simple kit, it's not all that aggressive, I would vote for the Tenzos or the Enkeis.
what are you going to do about the tire pressure sensors? get them installed after you get the rims or are you ordering locally?

I am going to desolder the LED, LOL
Yea, i don't think the Widetracks are going to make the cut, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, since they are the most expensive.
zer0myst 04-25-2007, 06:07 PM Enkei FTW.
gonna get evo-5's soon myself. :)
I just ordered these today, I think they're in line with what you were looking for. I haven't seen anybody else with these yet so you get the originality factor.

Oh yeah out of the one's you got there I definitely like the Enkei's the best.
Torcha 04-25-2007, 07:14 PM if i could pick out of those i would say the GF7 or Crosshairs. probably the crosshairs. i want those so bad. here's what they look like on a Silver Streak.

YES
this is the picture that is realllly making me want the crosshairs.
thanks for the pics and comments
exige 04-25-2007, 07:39 PM crosshairs definitely
sciontC 04-25-2007, 10:34 PM AXIS | WIDETRACK (MAXIS) | HYPERBLACK | 18 X 8 I like those best.
BuddhasTC 04-25-2007, 10:43 PM those R1 Racing wheels are the ish! I almost thought about trading mine in for em. R1's are great wheels man, had mine for about 2 years now...great wheel!
captainlaziness 04-25-2007, 10:56 PM Personally, I'd go with the R1. Second choice would be the Enkei. The Konig wheel looks funky to me, I don't think I like the differing spoke style.
On a side note, do you have tires picked out already?
Yanki01 04-25-2007, 11:01 PM #2 or #3 would look soooo hawt!!!! :love:
Well I say that my rims are the best.....but since u cant be as cool as me I say go with the crosshairs...ok love u
eujin 04-26-2007, 03:17 AM Axis Widetracks with the Maxis lip, you cant go wrong...so what if people HERE have them, you dont have them on YOUR car :P
tC_2NeR 04-26-2007, 03:18 AM u already know what im going to say so...

The Widetracks with tires are $1600, and like i've mentioned before, money is not an object here.
