Hey guys I am relatively new to the forum. I am looking for a nice pair of rims for my 06 TL. I don't want chrome, and i want them to be flashy but classy if you know what I mean. I love split spoke wheels. The Ron Jon's aren't doing it for me? Any suggestions? I would appreciate any input. I am leaning towards ace Manta wheels.

Hey timmy,

Welcome to AZ. You are asking a question that is very hard to answer. There are SO SO SO many split-spoke wheels out there. There's 5 split-spokes, 7 split-spokes, 10 split-spokes...Here is a pic of some 7 split-spoke Work Varianza T1S's:



I am currently running the same setup. These are probably some the classiest wheels you can find.

First thing first...

What's your wheels and tires $$$$ Budget???

timmy8842

Ill spend about 3k on rims w/tires, most likely no more than that. I love those rims above. I would prefer a 5 split spoke. Good recommendation. Sorry if Im pissing someone off, im new to this.

No worries, timmy. You're not getting anyone upset. It's just hard to narrow down such a broad area. But now that you've specified you like the 5 split-spoke look, how about this: http://sevaswheels.com/s_55.html

Those are the Sevas S-55's. Those look nice as well. Hope this helps!

I'm still feelin THE T1S, they look very nice. I see some from acealloy wheels called allure that look very similar. What is a good price for the work's, ive been calling around. Thanks for your help.

The price depends on what size wheels you want. Mine are 19"x8.5". I say if you can get a set in that size for around/under $1,800, then that is a good price!

work t1s > sevas s55

Anyone have a good dealer for work wheels. The best price im getting is 2200 shipped which is not good.

timmy8842

Also,i like the ace alloy allure, but if i can find a a set of t1s for 1800 it would be a done deal.

This is what you want

RavSpec NY 631-586-3520 / 631-964-0032. I paid $1840 with lugnuts, hub rings and shipping.

Sorry timmy, I was greatly lowballing the T1S's. They're going to run you between $2,300-$2,600 in 19"x8.5", shipped, w/ lugs, hub rings, center caps. I just happened to get mine for a clearance price, so that's why I was a bit off on the price!

Good deal!!!

timmy8842

The best ive gotten is 2100 shipped which is disappointing.

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

Disappointing, but nonetheless $2.1K is a good deal. If you ordered today...you're looking at 8-10 weeks shipping time. If you wait too much longer, you might have to wait even longer for the next shipment...who knows how long that'll be?

the car is gonna look sick with whatever type of wheels you go with.

timmy8842

I got 2050 shipped w/everything included, i think im gonna take it. I just feel like the ace alloy allure looks just like it.

MICHAELBPR

Remember the work's are two piece wheels, wich is more expensive

timmy8842

good point. I think im gonna get machine silver polish and order up on Monday! Which finish is yours, and thanks for the help
