hey guys so currently im rocking 18" speedy lite 8's which have done me well but MD potholes suck and currently my front passenger wheel is bent and leaking. Instead of getting it fixed, i want to buy new wheels. i can use my old tires and have about 800 to spend. i know im being cheap but i need to buy them within a month and cant come up with 1500-3000 for baller wheels. i was looking on wheels next and found these http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...yperblack.html

i know you get what you pay for but i actually really like these!

 

Zac, I think you should get these bad boys in 24.

 

they look cheap

 

anybody have any suggestions for 18's. again i have about 200 to spend per wheel!

 

hmmm 200 per wheel, if you can go up to 250 you can get some quality rims

 

why do you NEED to buy wheels?

 

i need to buy wheels because i hit a pothole on my passenger side and the front wheel is bent on the inner wall. that bend is causing the tire to leak air. I refilled them all to 34lbs at 11am. i just looked at it and it looks like it has maybe 25lbs! i can get it fixed but it would cost more than the wheel. i could get a new one but then i would have one nice wheel and three semi jacked up wheels. so its giving me an excuse to buy new wheels. i can sell my wheels for 150 local and hook that guy up with "wheel doctor" at a discounted rate. i found a guy local who is selling hp design lightnings with tires for 800. my tires are still at 60% tread and i can sell the new tires for 400. so basically to sum it up, im only going to be spending 250 for brand new wheels that normally cost 800 alone haha!

 

If you go buy cheap wheels again, they're just going to get bent again.

 

would you consider hp design a cheap brand jon? from what ive heard they are good wheels. i know like flik and drag are really cheap but these wheels are normally about 240-250 a piece. i know there not 500 per wheel like the high end wheels but i thought 250 was a decent price!

 

I've never even heard of HP..lol

the tenzo type m have a cool mesh look and arnt too expensive

 

i just checked out the tenzos and i like the rim design but i prefer a lip on the wheels.

i just checked out his post and im not a fan of the gtc's i think there called?!?! guys i really appreciate all the info. im searching a lot but i miss a lot of stuff! any input is appreciated.

 

#1 Enkei J10 18x7.5 @ $184/ea. @ tire.com



#2 Enkei Evo 5 18x7.5 @ $177/ea. @ edgeracing.com



#3 Enkei Evo 6 18x7.5 @ $177/ea. @ edgeracing.com



personally i like all 3, #1 & #3 are my favs. Enkei makes some good wheels, and im currently still in the market for the Enkei RPF1's.

 

i personally like the look of a split spoke or mesh look.
you could always go down to 17's and save a few bucks

 

wouldnt save me much, i already have 18" tires so i just need new wheels. if i go back down to 17's then i need both wheels and tires!

 

I personally love enkei evo 5 in hp black...

 

go with enkei lf 10's
