I'm looking for wheels for the skittle and need some advice. I was in a massive 17" vs 18" debate but realized I won't be doing much racing on these rims since I don't street race and plan on getting slicks. Consequently, I've settled on 18's. However, they may have to do track duty at a road course 1-2 times a year, so light weight is important, but not important enough to sacrifice looks or strength. I'm looking for something in anthracite with a polished lip. So far here's what I'm looking at:

I like these, but I think they're cast, not forged (19 lbs.):


The current winner:


Thinking about these, but don't know if they're forged and I'm kind of a wheel snob and don't know how to feel about the Enkei brand name:


I want these as bad as I want J Alba's azz, but they don't fit my car


I also like SSR competitions, but I guess they stopped making them

So, any input as to the quality and reputation of any of the above? I drive on some shatty roads and need something that's gonna hold up to the abuse.

 

Thanks for moving this out of OT, I don't even have a maxima anymore.

Nice moderating

 

You sure those 19" Axis are really only 19lbs. Rays track edition 18 x 8 forged wheels are 18lbs each

 

Yeah, but they don't make them in a 19". I'm keeping it to 18 x 7.5's.

My favorite is the axis, very clean looking.

 

I like the Hiros a lot, and they usually look good on most rides.

I didn't think that you had the $$ to throw around on rims. When did your woman start paying 1/2 again?

 

whats up bluebird, how you been. im taking good care of the muffler, lol

i like both of them. the enkeis look different and i like that, but i love those axis rims..... my vote is the axis rims.

 

Hiros don't fit mah car.

And I'm pushing the base like whoa, so I gots ends

(Actaully, bonus is coming up soon and if I'm going to have to buy tires, I might as well get some rims too)


Good to know it's working out for you Whatever ones I go with, you'll be seeing them in person next summer.
