Default 3k to spend...INSTALLED PICS pg. 6

I got 3 grand to spend on wheels, tires and lugs. I pretty much know what tires and wheels I want, but im cluless about what lugs to get what size and all.

Anyone have any suggestions for lug options? I want a set that has locks too.

It would help if you at least posted what wheels and maybe the tires you were liking. That way its easier to say which lugs would look/work best.

You'll need 12x1.5 thread pitch for the lugs.

The Kicks might look a little off with those wheels.
I'd go with a solid black color since your car is blue.
Rays Extended IMO. (or even Volk)

12x1.5 for any Honda, Nissan, Toyota vehicles.

They got expensive over the past 3 years.

I had the Neo Chrome ones and didn't like them one bit, I believe it's a matter of preference (sold them without even installing them lol).
I'd put on a set of gunmetal any day before those Neo's.
Just lurk the Wheel and Tire threads and see what set ups you like.

Nowadays good lugs are a bit pricy but with 3k to spend you should be ok. Rays, Volk or Kicks would do you justice.
Good luck, meng!

Heres what I don't understand. If you had $3k to spend on a wheel package; then why raderwerks? You could've gotten some baller rims with a budget like that.

then you obviously dont understand where i come from. i dont care about having baller rims. for what? so i can jump on the band wagon and treat everyone that doesnt have baller wheels like crap on the site. you cant deny that thats how it is on here. i like what i like and i do my own thing. yeah i could have def bought some baller wheels. rbwheels and memory fab and other baller wheels sites i visit didnt have anything that made my blood pump. so i got what i wanted and what i would be happy with.

To the "why don't you buy some baller rims and join an elite group of nut sack hangers that jerk off to each others 'baller rims' on a tC."

I'm in the middle on this debate. I wackterbate to these tool shed's baller wheels because... well... I can't deny that they are awesome wheels. I'd do cartwheels and a line of coke off of a hooker if I had three grand to spend on wheels. How awesome that would be. But I do agree with what you're saying, Jon. Do you're own thing and don't spend THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS just to gain approval of some of these forum famers. And for that - you're doing it right.

Wheels will look nice on that TRD coilover drop. I still don't know why my TRDs won't go as low as yours.

i like baller and non-baller wheels, but from experience, baller wheels are much better quality.
