In need of new wheels. Suggestions?





Recently (as my 7th set), I had Enkei SBC RP03 19x9.5 +42 all around on the TL. They are wonderful rims, but 1 has a bend, and another has a small crack.

Pic 2 shows my current Axis Gravity 18x9 +40 all around, which I put on about 3 weeks ago. Pic 3 is after 20mm spacers all around. They were nice rims, but I got them powdercoated and the color came out darker than expected. I don't really like them anymore.

So I'm in need of new rims lol. Problem: I'm trying to be balling on a budget which is because I cant spend more than $1300, tires extra. I want some wheels with a step lip, or a big lip (like at least 4"). Either 18, more towards 19" and a flush offset ~22. Something like Work VS-XX, Varianza T1S, BBS LM, SSR Professor SP1, Savini SV-23, Iforged Turismo and so on.

I was looking into Ti5 because of the 5" lip, the XXR 521 and 526, but I figured I'd ask you guys for some more opinions/options

I doubt you can get any of those wheels for that price. So just got with knockoffs, wheeldude has nice BBS LM replicas and they are around 1300$, and he has them in a bunch of different sizes and offsets.

Have you considered RonJon's? The Inspyres are classic, so are the Legends.

I like the look of chrome with the blue, but thats just my opinion. I recently bought a 07 type S ASM, I like the stock wheels but the two in the rear both have curb rash from previous owner (female). So I am too looking for some new shoes, but am in no hurry

I would love to put some nice 10.5" wide FR500 in black chrome on, but my neighbor across the street has them on his Mustang lol. Those are the only wheels I like on that site. Appreciate the help though!

I love them too, but one is bent and one is cracked. I cant find anyone who will match the SBC coating and I dont want to pay another $1000 for 2 wheels when I can buy a new set .

Haha yes they are halos, why do you say that?.. I didn't do the Type S rear bc I dont like the wide look with the Greddy exhaust. If I had quads then I definitely would have.

Nah not really a fan of any of his wheels. They are nice, but not for me. I also thought they are pretty expensive.

Congrads on the purchase! I used to hate the TL-S wheels at first, but overnight I just fell in love. I just have too many wheels to keep them and I go through too many wheels :-/. Hope you can find a nice pair.

Not a fan of your Volks, but how about those 360forged in your album

I almost bought a set of Work Varianza T1S 20x9 20x10.5, which I am in love with, for $1000, but they got sold to a buyer that contacted him 10 minutes before me . Im currently looking at some silver Concept One RS8.
