I think its time to get new wheels.. help me choose?



Currently been on..225/45/18 squared since day one. tires are bald now and these wheels are weak af:

which should I get? what do you guys think will look better? been waiting way too long for a new set. I have now narrowed them down to these..

option 1


option 2


i'm leaning towards option 2. but no matter what im probably going up in size most likely.... they'll be staggered (19x8.5...19x9.5). they just look so much better. im staying on m-sport suspension. no plans on going any lower. I went through so many threads to look at other peoples setups and I found someone with m-sport suspension.

thanks for sharing.




let me know what you guys think.. thanks guys.

If blue car is yours, like the rims on it now. If you're really changing rims, would seek out something AT LEAST 3 to 5 lbs lighter per corner. High unsprung weight is a performance killer.

I'm confused by the quote from another poster and the picture of the blue car

Btw, I don't like either, they just seem a little busy for my liking...stick with the ones on the blue car

the blue car dude is the setup I want. he's on m-sport suspension so I'm hoping my ride height and wheel/rim setup will look cool like his haha.

and yes, they look busy but I just think they look pretty good!


VMR 801s look real nice too..



idk man.. we'll see what happens haha.



these are nice too! F***!

I selected option 2 since it's better than Option 1, but I didn't see the 3rd option. Definitely get a different design that's more simple and refined.

^ This if you're patient enough. I was waiting but got impatient and bought different wheels a few weeks ago.

Or just go through the classifieds on here and find a nice set that you like.

Count me in on the APEX SM-10 bandwagon, not that I have any bias...
