Ok, found a buyer for my 5Zigen, so it's time to think about what rims I should get for next year.

I want to try hard to find a 18X8 this time. There are only few companies that make affordable 18X8, <$300 each wheel.

Here are the 18X8 I know of.

ooh I like the F1 cups

As soon as i get the cash I MIGHT powder coat my rims that color. just the center since the lip is polished.
I saw a black Max at our track one time with I think racing harts all black, no lip. It said Who's Your Daddy on the plate. Man that car looked Evil, never saw it again.

hehe, new rims...AGAIN!!

I was thinking about the F1 cups and the volcanos a while ago, they're both nice looking wheels. Unfortunately they're extremely heavy compared with other wheels available. I think the 17 x 7 F1's are something like 25lbs!!

Guess you have to choose between looks and performance.

I think the TSW revo's are nice too.

Well, as in everything...

Everyone has their own preferences. I think all the wheels you listed are pretty good looking, some more so than others. Just pick the ones that you like the most and best fit in your budget. As long as you're happy with them, they're good.
