i am in the market for some good 18 inch rims...
help me out with the top brand names of quality rims!
and also tell me rim brands to stay away from
thanks

How much do you want to spend?

well i know good Quality rims arent cheap...so it doesnt matter

lexani, katana, giovanna, niche. go to superbuytires.com

SSR, Volk, Racing Hart....

RACING RIMS AS IN "LIGHT WEIGHT"

thanks
those are good light wieght rims??

next time specify.

SSR, Volk, Racing Hart, Axis, Advan, etc...

yup... I personally like SSR GT1...

BBS, Fiske,HRE

What's up Nauman, how do you like your Stillen brakes??

I like them I need to get my tires balanced and an alignment to straighten up my front end, but the brakes are great. MUCH better than the stock brakes. The SS brake lines help out too....

good rims : ssr, rays, volks, kosei, rota, advan, racing hart, bbs, HRE, giovanna, L sportline, bersaglio, OZ, 5 zigen, antera

sucky rims: konig, ADR, american racing, primax, motegi and thousands more......

Thanks for the update..

I decided to go another route thinking I cold save some $$$. I wound up spending about the same amount as the Stillen kit that Phuong is selling. I got the dimpled/slotted EMC rotors, Porterfield R4S pads, Goodridge SS lines, Motul fluid. I'm going to install everything in 2 weeks. I hope I made the right decision.

I like this list... except Konig and Rota are the same company.

what about Mille Miglia?

Rims to buy:

Racing Hart
RH EVO
Volk Racing
SSR
Axis
ADR
Enkei

Boarderline:
Konig
Rota
Arospeed
Tenzo

Probably should stay away from:
Katana - (I used to sell these like crazy but had too many quality issues, their new stuff does look A LOT better though)

Me too........

- well they are the same company, but rota rims are alot lighter than most konigs

and i dont hear much about rotas bending and stuff - but konig on the other hand.....

Most of the Rota stuff is coming out of the Phillipines. They do a lot of manufacturing for the cheaper BBS stuff. Konig is mostly out of Taiwan. May be the same holding company but they are being manufactured in different places for the most part. My first set of wheels I ever had on my old civic were 15" Rotas! Major bling bling!!

I love my konig's, its just they are heavy. OTHERWISE, I GET EYE'S EVERYWHERE
