I'll have enough to buy a good set of wheels! Yes! Finally! :)

I'm pretty set on TSW Nogaros (See Here) but I don't want to have to buy wheels again so I'd like to have some input.

I Really like this style as well. Probally more than the TSWs. They're the Luff (never heard of them) S5R wheels (See Here) but they only come in 18x7.5 which is far to narrow.

I like these Momos as well, but I'm not about to spend 500 dollars on a single wheel, a little out of my range... (see here) (and here)

I really like the Tenzo R GT5s as well. again, only 8 in wide, too narrow. (see Here) (and here)

Damn! I just came across these and I think these are my favorite so far... but again, I can't afford 500 dollars a wheel :\
SSR GT10 (See here!)


Anyway, that is the style of wheel I like, can anyone recommend a different brand with similar style that is a little more suitable for me? 18 inch, with at least a 9" in the back, preferably 9.5"

I'd like to stay around 2-350 a wheel...



Thanks! I can't wait to finally get some wheels of my choosing on my car :)

I love the wheels on Rajunz car, but you shouldn't with your car. I really don't like your first choice.

I like the SSR-GT10's but a budget is a budget.

You do know that 18's aren't the best for drag

Those are expensive, but damn, they look sweeet.................:love:


I know... I really can't justify spending 500 bucks a wheel, then still another 200 on tires.

Damn supramania should impliment the multi-quote feature!

I love the gt10s but they're only 8 wide, and far to expensive. those wheels are pure sex.

I know I am going to get that alot with the TSWs, alot of people don't like them but I think they look great... not as nice as the gt10s though :\

I know you're looking at 18x19,19.5, I think 935 motorsports has some, but I can't get the pics to come up. One thing you should consider besides looks is weight. Check the weight on the wheels you're looking at.

I agree with you Reign, the FN01R-C's are an awesome wheel. They are lighter than stock, an inch taller (huge selection of tires), and they are the perfect width for our cars. Not to mention the $200ish price each is a very good deal for a wheel of this caliper. Maybe one of these days I'll buy me a set.

Yeah, I have 17X9s in the rear, and I could literally throw it across the room, WITH the tire on it... Put it this way, my wife is pretty small and she can carry them no problem... I wanna swap the rears for 17X10s and put DR's on them for the street and use the 17X9s for slicks... ;)

5 Zigen has the performance vs price award. Lightweight and cheap. I know some people like to be unique though. Too many people have the FN10s already.

Watch out for cheap eBay wheels, they usually are VERY heavy. For example, my daily driver wheels are 25 lbs each without tires.
