Ok so I have not changed my wheels since i bought my car 6 years ago. Now I need new ones since mine are damaged from a pothole. Of course the state wont pay for it. I should throw my wheels through the front windows of the township building but that's another story lol.

I'm not buying name brands since They wont last here and my R1 racing wheels lasted a long time for a knockoff. I like these. What are your opinions? I'm going very different from what I have always had. I have not found these on a car here so I'm sure how it will look. Also do these red rings last?

i actually really like them, they have a subtle oem feel to them in their surface treatment, i think they will look good, go for it!

ok cool, very encouraging! I did post another wheel but these caught my eye first. Do the red rings last a while or do they fade?

im like you
I hate having too many options
theres just so many wheels to choose from

but it all boils down to what you like, your style and your budget

If I had your style, color and lips I would just get the ctr wheels but polished or gunmetal or maybe even white but I dont like black wheels
but then again some people can pull it off ok with white

but I like low offset wheels
not sure if thats your steelo

I know they are selling the ctr wheels here in los angeles craigslist for only $700 or so
those are nice looking wheels for a daily driver

I kinda like wheels that cover the face a little more, not sure if that makes sense but I mean those that will not show the brakes as much
unless your going with a bbk later to complete the look

these are great budget wheels

and they come in so many colors

I looked those wheels up rpf1, 200-300 a wheel? I can't afford that lol. There nice tho. I always wanted a white wheel but it's hard to find what I want and I'm not looking to customize wheels.

just saw it right now
personally I dont like my rims to be the same color as the car
I like for there to be alot of contrast if possible

I want the wheels to stand out
And in terms of the style its similar but I honestly dont like it
but like I said, you gotta go with what YOU LIKE
not mine

anyways check out this dudes ride
he pulled off black on white nicely

There nice and I would most likely take them but i have to buy tires, 18x8's cost alot I'm on a budget unfortunately (800-900) He wont ship them anyways I live in PA. I'm really liking your help so don't be upset if I seem like I'm putting down everything. Too much camera gear took all my money LOL. Thats scotts car "Gardian" in those pictures. I'm pretty sure it is.

I personally am liking these, It's different and it has a little pizzaz LOL, these come with red, blue or machine outline.

I think the black one would look better on your car than the white one. The red accents give them a unique look, too.
