hey i am looking to get 17 or 18 inch rims and i was wondering what everyone thought were good not too ricey rims and are decently light and not too expensive!!!!! im only 17 and have about $2000 making aroun 400-600 a month depending on how much i work so i cant spend that much. thanks in advance!!!!!

 

I have the same problem.. I don't know what to get. I'm thinking about Racing Harts, ADR GT, Konig Tantrums, 5Zigen, or Axis...any suggestions?

 

it depends on how much money u want to spend and if u want a quality made wheel. if ur looking for a racing wheel i would recomend the racing harts they are a little expensive but are good quality. they balance out with little or no weights "meaning they don't shake" most of the other wheels arent really the best of quality. the racing harts also look nice when chrome.

 

here's a pic of my car with 18's. not light at all, but.. i think its worth it

 

here ya go. same car with 16's. by the way. both pics are with h&r springs. those 18's i paid $1,100 for with tires off the forum. these 16's were bought new with tires for $900.. these are much lighter.

 

get something different that YOU like and don't worry what anyone else thinks.. strive to be unique.. i did.

 

I think the Konig Tantrums look nice but thebigsadler is right. Go look around and see what you think looks good. It is all a matter of opinion.

i like the tantrums too

 

price is important in some aspects like people said above....my rims were quite expensive (but i got the hook-up yeah yeah) and have had them for about 40k miles and haven't bent a rim yet...and i've driven them in san fran, lA, boston and Chi-town too. but the less costly the rims are, the less quality they are.....so find that balance and you should be happy. Don't buy some good looking rims in the back of sportCompact that are dirt cheap, they might look good, but you'lll eventually need to buy another set. hope i didn't scare you...

oh, and make sure to by wheel locks!

 

That's good cause I don't like your rims.

JK

Aren't those racing hart's? With a larger wheel I prefer a six spoke so the wheel doesn't look as open, but your wheels look good.

 

Do a search for a post your rims thread. There were a ton of pics in that thread.
