I found these on www.edgeracing.com

FLIK LEX wheels

I got a price quote with the 225/40/18 Kuhmo 712s.

All together w/ shipping and mount/balance was $1360 to my door.

Not a bad deal right? My only concern is that they are a new company...and these are their first wheels.

Also they have a 42mm offset, which is somewhat low.

Here are my other tire choices for 225/40/18 size.

Any suggestions/recommendations?

 

Yeah, saw those from that site a week ago, but had second thoughts cause I never heard of the brand. Good looking rims though. Check out this place. They have some real good deals.

WHEELMAX

 

That's less than a 1G for the set of rims. I wouldn't buy it!! If you do somehow, watch out for potholes.

BTW, that looks good though.

 

thats a cheap knock off of i forget what rim but i know i seen that same style from another manufacture ....like the man said ..be careful of pot holes cheap wheels usally only meet the lowest standards.

 

SSR's?

 

Save your money and buy a wheel that will fit properly.

 

You get what you pay for.

Id say save up for a reputable brand.

 

+42MM 18" man that is cutting it close plus they will stick out some.

 

somewheel companies offsets even thou they are lower then the stock wheels will still fit under the wheel well.....i know my enkies with a 40mm offset fits on acura's with no problems...but i would go somewhere where they have that wheel and have em test it b4 i buy.

 

Those look more like AVS knock-offs. Mine are THE SSR knock-off.
In 18's, those would look bigger, like a 19, because the spoke goes all the way to the lip. What width are they? I would recommend going with a 235/40 tire, but with a +40mm wheel, that would RUB. Check out mine; they only cost $1,600 with 235/40/18 Kumhos.

 

Check out Rota Battles. They look the same, and come in a 48 mm offset.

 

$125 ( 1 kumho tire ) = $560 mounted and balanced for a set of four.

That means YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR POTHOLES

 

They look a lot like Advan knock offs.


Advan


:o

 

what type of rims do you have that are SSR knock-offs?

I believe the FLIX where 18X8

I also have TEIN Coilovers so adjusting height to eliminate rub is not a problem

thanks to everyone that has responded

 

Well, since the rims are so cheap in price, you should buy a couple more for spares. Whenever the rim gets bend, dump it and use a new one, no hard feelings.
