SOOO I got 3-4 months before spring and Im in the process of deciding rims...wanna go 19's this time around... got about $1000-$1500 budget just for the rims; just been browsing a lot thru the photo gallery and still can't decide. I might as well start a thread to ask for people's opinions and what the community thinks...

so far here is the list

GTC01
Raijins
AvantGarde M310
Forgestars f14
VMR 710 or VB3
TSW Nurburgring
Varrstoens 2.2.1 or 2.2.2
HFP
...possibly Vossens CV3


Mesh,concaved,multispoke...whatever just give me some suggestions feel free to add new rim ideas

 

GTC - nice, expensive, nice. mr. 0 made these wheels sexy, and they will remain so.

Raijins - nice, but as an owner, i have grown to dislike the concavity alot, its practically convex and the only way to avoid it is to go with a 9" width which is pretty excessive for the TSX. looks best in photos

M310 - designs off for some raisin

VMR VB3 - perfect if you can find a place you trust enough to redrill wheels, but then if you are redrilling, you could open the list up to way more interesting options

Varrs - again, very aggressive fitment, not personally for me but maybe you want to stretch it

HFP - nice, hard to find cheap, ull need to run spacers, but the color will go great with your ride and they look nice too

Vossen - CVV3 look like a flower from some angles, not my cup, id rather get the stance sc-5. I think the CVV2 would be amazing on the TSX, but youd have to be rocking 20s and some sick fitment for that

the GTC's are pretty nice

raijins, m310, VMrs, tsw you basically you chose 4 of the same wheels.... so i guess you really like this design. ( they are really similar to mine if you wanna see how they look on my car go to my progress thread, mine are 18") ^killer i don't think 9" is that aggressive, my wheels are 8.75 which are close to 9...

f14s are nice but i only like them if your slammed

hfps are ugly imo

and im a vossen hater so im not even gonna say anything about them.

 

Damn the vossens vv2 are nice but Im not gonna rock 20inch rims...also on the raijins yeah Ive seen on some pics where they look convex more than concave

Just feel like mesh rims looks good on the TSX thats why both of you (killer and slick) both rocking them...


Yeah the GTC01... got the idea from Mr Oto's car


the TSW's I might get a good deal on them thats why I put them on the list....

 

f14s are very pricey.

9" isnt really aggressive and i guess people go up to 10.5 but given the limited torque in the TSX and shit I personally would rather err on the side of 8.5 more than like 10 say

those XXRs are unique in their width but you gotta pay to play the concave game

form>function>form etc blah blah i know

 

AME Shallen CX! When I saw this TSX my mouth dropped! I am in the process of looking for a set of 19's!

 

Theres a guy with TSWs on my block in machined who has them on his altima. They look like dick in person.

(i only say this since were bros)

 

Stock 19's???

 

unique width FTW! lol. i think he should get the GTC's and be more unique.

 

KK... I'll take your word on it TSW's removing from the list

... before you guys judge I've met KG in person and he is a stand up dude for the 5 mins that we spoke and a ride with his magnaflows

 

Chicosito... not a fan of those but to each his own thanks for the input..

Its looking like GTC01's is the front runner right now... I did like my MB battle's design any 19's rims similar to those

Proffesor I do like the 19inch RDX rims... but looking for a more aggressive/aftermarket look

 

I was trying to buy GTC-01 before i bought raijins

Try searching on the NASIOC forums, ive seen a few sets leave there in 5x114 at pretty decent prices

we also seem to have similar taste since this is pretty much exactly like my wheel choice list, i went with raijins before i saw em in person and a big factor was also the price

If I could do again, Id do 19s for sure, and id also get the offsets right the first time. Im installing spacers w/ extended lugs and that shit aint cheap either, nor is it easy, so I shoulda just done the right offset from the get go.

Theres also g37 IPL wheels, enkei ammodos, RPF-1, alot of lexus wheels are gorgeous if you are willing to machine the hubs out (F-spider wheels, ct200h-F wheels)

 

No worries man! Just throwing some ideas out there. I am in the same boat as you and trying to get some ideas for my car too. I am looking to put some wheels on by March. If you are looking for an OEM aggressive/aftermarket look, here's my second choice that fits that description.

Nismo 370z wheels LMZ5 19X9.5 & 19X10.5 @ 20lbs!
19X9.5 +40 front
19X10.5 +23 rear
Weight: 20.5 lbs. (9.3kg) – front; 20.9 (9.5kg) – rear



On Stock Car:


On others:

 

gtc gets my vote

vossen def. gets my vote

varrstoen gets my vote if you can pull off the fitment

f14 i like, but in deep concave size

tsw = totally soft wheels

hfp = super weak offset

forgestar = 3 months wait

enkeis = not bad, if you get concave.

 

GTC gets my vote but
i would do more research... even go on different forums and try find something different and unique just my

 

MB Battles


i LOVE those NISMO Z wheels.
i was looking in to getting a set but i really didnt want a staggered set up.


i vote vossens
any of them

 

Gunmetal CV4's! or CV5's? Or Forgestar CF10? F10? Rotiform BLQ? Nue?

Just throwing out some ideas, as you can see... lol

 

If I had to choose from your options,

Id got with Vossens, Varrstoens, or the HFP's (with spacers).
XXR is coming out with a 19" version of their CCW rep in early 2013 and so I am probably going to get those next year.

 

the new 535 look sexy too ttk^

good eye, the 5 spokes would look nice with your grill I think, something about the sharp angles or whatever you are continuing

lolz GTC01 is nice but for $450+ a rim gahhhh gotta pay to play I guess will look around for a used set but still have my options open

...I dont know about the ccw reps, rotiforms nue seem to gangster for me

...the 535's are nice, depending what the rim size xxr will come with...the CV5's would be perfect but I think its only available in 20's!!!


...infinit IPL looks good and I have been looking at the rpf-01 I just dont know if it will look good in the TSX plus are they even available in 19's...

IM trying to be stay in the middle ground between unique and not too crazy don't want to pull up in the office parking lot or go to a lunch meeting--- and coworkers be like dafuq???

 

the ccw rep is already out lol, but its tiny like 15/16"

 

Re: the GTC01s, I worked in the financial services industry and all my coworkers (including the president) loved my car. So, can't go wrong with the "WTF" factor there.

I've been playing a lot of GT5 and the Enkei RP03s have been growing on me. They come in 19s, and I would probably do the SBC color. Plus, I don't think anyone's done RP03s on the CU2 yet.

Why weren't you in the market 3 months ago?!?!?!?

 

lol MR. OC....I know I know I know I just went thru old build thread and I was like damn I should have bought those but I've had my 18's back then werent really even looking at new rims


...Damn I just saw the Rp03 I like em hmmm hmmm but Im getting that too plain look to them

 

^ haha!

try some rotiform dude, that'd look sick!


a set of used advan's or volks?

 

You know what I like. Killer said they are hard to find cheap. I don't know what cheap is to him but I would think 206 a wheel is cheap. I paid 900 shipped. I went through the same thing your going through, so many choices. Hurry up and get another 'guess my wheel teaser thread going'. Happy hunting.

 

Thanks for ignoring my suggestions

My buddy had RP03's on his IS300 in the SBC finish... they were really nice.

CV4



CV5



CF10


F10



BLQ


NUE

 

I didnt ignore your comment...lol I replied on some of them...Vossens are perfect but Im debating having 20's...Im debating more now cuz of the pics you put up!!!

....rotiforms too gangster for me!!! Damn if those cv5's or cv4's were 19 I would have ordered them already!!!...pics of the IS --- or it didnt happen

 

Gotta dig into my FaceBook... i'll get that picture for you.

 

Here you go sir. His car on RP03 before and now on RPF1.

 

dang made me like the rpf01 more...lol

Five Axis S5F silver





what you think guys... just in my price range too about $250-$300 a wheel...

Options still open

 

i like those! ^^^

 

My 2 cents, in no particular order.

CF10s, as pictured above.

Enkei RPF01s, as pictured above.

Enkei GTC01, as pictured in all of Mr Os threads.

Also, others not on your list that I think would look good on a TSX:

SSR SP1 (probably expensive):



Nismo A34 (Maxima), seen here in gunmetal and in silver (yes, the G35 sedan guys like those):




And don't forget Rotas, you can find a knockoff of almost any popular design there.

 

Tough choices man. How about XXR 526?

 

XXR, the brand formerly known as Sportmax. I would be skeptical of quality and durability like if you ever hit a pothole or curb, but at least they are cheap to replace. Also, they tend to be heavy, so keep that in mind esp since you want 19s. And because I know someone will say they don't track the car so heavy rims don't matter, generally speaking, any discerning driver will be able to notice the slightly increased sluggishness in acceleration, especially on a low torque, heavy car like the TSX. Heavy rims also minimally impacts MPGs, but that's probably not that great of a consideration. Not saying no one should decide on a certain set because they are heavy, but just wanted to throw that out there for discussions sake.

/soapbox

 

cars slow enough as it is

+1

 

whoa.
thats a cool mini.
i usually HATE minis

 

weight is definitely a concern what are the estimated weight of our stocks, I know its been discussed before too lazy to search?

...mini?? If ur talking about the white one with the BLQ's I thinks its either a gti or an r32

 

The brown one with the NUE's (last picture in my long post)

 

wow damn didnt even realize that was mini!!!looks like a scion or the box looking cars lol damn thats actually pretty sick!!

 

Hint: Mr. Oto's car. Replicate!




Granted it's imitating, but it's soooo nice. I love just about every car posted in this thread. Pure car pr0n.
