Default Help please. Im looking for some wheels

hey guys,

Im in the market for new wheels and tires. Im currently lowered on TRD on a sw tc--and have no intentions of going any lower. Im stuck between either 17" or 18" wheels. I need some help debating. I have no choice of color as of now, but I know I want something mesh-y. Small lip would be cool too, not necessary though.

I was thinking of black/polish lip or black/red lip or bronze. I really like Tenzo type-ms. If you guys have recommendations, let me know!

My budget is around 1000-1200 with tires. Im looking for something cheap..kind of.

everyone and their mother has tenzos. tenzos are becoming the new konig unknowns.

with that kind of budget, i would suggest enkei for quality.

they make some decent rims that would look good on a SW

and i would def. go with the 18s. they will fill your wheel well more than 17s. and don't copy the stock wheel offset. ick

Please no Tenzos. For the price, Enkei was a great suggestion. I say go for something from them.

Sorry guys, but Enkei has discontinued the Evo 5's. The Enkei RPM2's is a great suggestion.

I've seen them on a super white tC and I think they look really good.

I know what you mean. That was a nice looking wheel. Enkei is actually discontinuing a ton of wheels this year b/c they are putting out new lines for '09.

Yes, he has them but in silver not hyper black. Hyper black would look A LOT better on lighter-colored cars.
