Tirerack is ok but is there something better for discount wheels. I dont want to spend 1k for rims, I am looking at 500 bucks at the most. What is the best rims for my money, 17 inch to boot, I rather stick with what the manufacturer recommends then going 18 or god forsake 19s. lol you guys. Anyone have tips?

Plus I like alot of spokes, but those cost like thousands. I dont like chrome or super bright rims, regular silver alluminum color is good enough for me or whitest like the factories on my 04 tl. Peace.

 

uhh, 500 for aftermarket wheels? and you want 18s or 19s?? Uhh, good luck, check out craigslist, Black Market (doubt you will find some good looking wheels for that price).

You can easily get good wheels for 500 in 17s, but not 18s or 19s, plus you have to add the cost of new rubber too

 

^ OP says he wants 17s

+1 for Craigslist.

Discount tire has some Konig and Enkeis that are decent.

 

Did you check Tire Rack?
Not that I'm crazy about the wheels, but the price is in the ballpark:

ASA AR1 17" x 8" Black $143 each
ASA AR1 17 x 8 Silver with machined lip $143
MSW Type 14 17 x 8 Silver $105
Sport Edition F10 17 x 8 Machined/Black(50 mm) $137
Sport Edition F10 17 x 8 Silver (50mm) $130
Sport Edition KV5 17 x 8 Silver $128
Sport Tuning Flight 17 x 8 Machined/Anthracite $128

It's a start!

 

Well....I just picked up my TSW Mondellos w/ Toyo tires for $1000 OTD. I got free changeover service and alignment too! I have a buddy that is a manager at Town Fair Tire and he gives me the hook up, the package was over 2 g's originally. If you want to come to CT I can hook you up

 

Just gotta be honest here... what the hell is the point of getting aftermarket rims if you're going to stay at OEM size and only want to spend $500?

 

have u tried rota wheels, they make Copies of EVERYTHING, from work, to volk, even SSR.... cheap cast wheels


though i dont recommended them, as "Friends dont let Friends ride Rotas" LOL

 

HAHA, damnn, I am retarded!!! Musta been on that crack when I read it.

exactly my point

 

OMG I roffled,

thanks for your input guys. Will check out your sites, as for why I want to replace my OEMs. Curb scraps, or whatever they are called around the rim, the last owner didnt take care for my rims. I would like 18s but they are more expensive and If I dont remember corectly the Manual Said 17s are the recommended size for wheels. And I would also have to buy 18R tires which are another 30 bucks per tire for the tires I want next. Yokohamas AVID

 

dang guy, these rims are sick, sort of look like type S rims. for cheap!!! Me like cheap!!

 

Pick up a set of A-specs. OEM 18s that look good and are decently strong.

 

I'm with this guy.

 

^ ugh, I think that is a girl...

 

LOL nope, I'm a guy

 

Haha yeah, he doesn't have hot pink letters in his sig and hearts in his profile banner

 

you can paint your oem 17" matte black

 

haha, oops sorry

I was thinking of changing the hearts but the pink lettering has to stay

 

sounds like the op wants some adr or stern wheels

 

What the heck does OP mean ????? lol
