you should def get them

 

Ugh, I hate shopping for wheels. It annoys me when I finally find a set I like, but it's way out of my price range. Anyone have some suggestions for good wheels that are actually affordable? I'm looking to spend no more than $1200 for a set of wheels. OR should I just not worry about it and wait to build up some money and dump it on some really nice wheels in a few years?

Edit: Something I could autox on would be nice. I don't want show quality wheels here. I just want something that looks nice that can take some abuse on the track and on a daily driver.

 

get a nice selection of choices built up, if you can't find some wheels that you like for $1500 (yes i know you don't have that much yet), then you have taste that to, too expensive for your 17yrold self. you may as well save that money something esle cause i guarantee that in a few years you're not going to want to put rims on this car.

depending on what you want i'd be patient and get some wheels that you love--don't settle. and stay up-to-date on what people have in the PPC:Wheels&Tire section. search WRX and VW forums too, you don't even have to be a member to search around

 

Well here are some wheels I'd recommend. Click Here. Tirerack right now has a closeout sale on 18" Gramlights 57C in silver for 229 each which comes out to 916 for all four and they are approximately 17 lbs each. I've always been fond of Gramlights. Had some white 57C for my 6th gen Celica, then I sold the car and got the SW TC and put on some gold 57S. This is the only photo I have left of my old celica. Click Here To See.

But if not then just keep on looking around. A deal will pop up sooner or later for other wheels you may want. And like what purpled_out_tC had said above me, don't just settle for anything. Just make sure to take your time.

 

Thanks for the tips guys. I've been looking around for a little over a year now for wheels, but nothing has really caught my eye (except for the expensive brands: Advan, Rays, SSR, Wedsport, Work, ect.). I don't want to spend crazy amounts of money on wheels for a tC, but I'd like something nicer than stuff like 5Zigen, Sportmax, Konig, or Motegi wheels.

ScionTEK, I was actually considering those Gram Lights you mentioned a week or so ago, but I'd like to stay in the 17's. I'm keeping an eye on those Gram Lights 57Maximum though.

purpled_out_tC, my tastes are VERY expensive. If I do something, I want it done right. Believe me, settling for just anything is definitely NOT how I do things (if I did, I'd have some butt ugly wheels...like Konig! ). I plan on keeping the tC pretty much my whole life, so eventually I do want wheels though.

My list pretty much consists of: SSR SP1, SSR GT2, G-Games 77W, Enkei RP03, Gram Lights 57Maximum, Gram Lights 57C, Weds SA-70, Weds SA-90, and the occasional Volks I can find on Craigslist for a decent price.

 

One of the best statements I've read on scionlife so far.

 

make a new thread roja

 

agreed, this is a picture thread

 

Well my question does have relevance to the expensive/rare/custom wheel topic, but alright. I just didn't want to start a new topic and have only one person reply like before. >_> I just figured I could get some use out of this thread. Sorry for threadjacking.

 

then start a new thread, you'll get a lot better response from people in there

 

Not to clutter this up anymore, but I haven't seen if Ro Ja make a new thread yet.

I'm a big supporter of used wheels, and I have seen this set of GT-C's on Takumi Project for a while now:


They are 17x8 with a +33mm offset. Right now they're $1300 OBO, but they have been the for a while, you might be able to get them to drop the price....

 

Thank god - RIMS!

 

+33 is gonna rub like crazy, my +35 are bad enough

 

35 is not bad

 

just roll the fenders big dogg

 

If your fenders aren't rolled, then you have bad wheel fitment

 

who?
