Trusted Wheel Brands... I'll try it this way

OK, so rather than try to get specific tires that you like, I think I have a better plan of attack. Please list for me the brands that you like/trust that make good wheels. For example, I'd say that Enkei is a brand I trust. I also read earlier that G... something made "soft" wheels, but they're not bad, so I'd like to know stuff like that. That way I can go to all the different manufacturers' websites and see what they have, then see what fits my car, then decide from what's left.

Thanks for your help everyone, but as a new member to the Acura club, I refuse to put POS wheels on my car, so I've got to get this right.

What happened to ADVAN, SSR, and Wed's. Also top teir to me.

What I wouldn't shed a tear for....ADR, Arospeed or anything chrome...hehe


Oh and I know some one is goin to bash ROTA rims.
They do make knock offs but they make good reliable affordable wheels.
They are OEM manufactureres for Toyota and Mitsubishi and are made in the Philippines! just more

Yes, see, this worked MUCH better. Lookie, lookie, lookie:

http://www.5zigenusa.com/w_h5zr19.html

I think I'm in love. They're out of my price range, but they're worth saving for. Should I even consider the 18" version? It has rivets, which I would rather not have, but it doesn't look bad either.

dang, whats up with the bashing on the 5zigens? I bought a set of pro racer gn+ lol

simply put, 5zigens are not top tier wheels but they are not worth nothing neither... at least they are made in japan and somewhat jdm =)

However, since Buddyclub relocated their manufacturing factor to taiwan, the QC of their new products become more questionable.. what a shame

I've done ane extensive research on Buddy Club prior to making the purchase. All R&D and manufacturing are still located in Japan, only the company is now being taken care of by Taiwanese management. As long as R&D and productions are done in Japan still, that's fine with me, after all, I believe they're still pushing for the quality they have always been standing for

interesting, thanks kaikai for the info... too bad I've already bought my wheels and suspension (two things that buddyclub does really well) but in the future i'll look into other buddyclub products as they have always been innovative for honda aftermarket parts
