Wheels thread?

Post nice looking wheels

How would you rank brands into tiers?

Also the fluro colored wheels are starting to grow on me,

Am I too old for that if I'm nearing 28 years old lol

>Fluro colored
No. stahp.
>Tfw like style of my wheels but not color
>may try powder blasting

...

still have my stock WRX wheels

think they would look good in a fluro color?

Should I bother getting new wheels or just powder coat them or something. How much would it cost to fix the pretty bad curb rash that the previous owner left it with.

at first I didn't think it was going to bother me but the more I clean my car the more it's starting to get to me.

what's usually done to repair it anyways?

if you wanna see dope wheels check out Indywidual-wheel Dzidziusbmw & Zbif on facebook, Veeky Forums wont let me post a link

>nice looking wheels
no they are too rare as it is

>How would you rank brands into tiers?
by consulting king or dub magazine

or more to the point having a look around at what low level race and rally teams use to get some Survivor bias

>too old for that
stop caring what fickle people think
get ready for ostracism

Would wheels like this really cut through other cars?

it might get the tires

BBS OEM Vdub wheels. Strong as motherfuckers and still super light for the time.

Good vintage jdm wheel database

Are Niche wheels knock offs?

You can use body filler to fill scratches left by the curb and then repaint them.

As long as they are period correct they are generally fine

Why not just fill the metal in with a tig welder and file/sand it smooth, would be more durable and have better longevity.
If you bumped the filler with a tire changing machine it would instantly crumble.
I don't like thin spoked wheels, they show too much of the messy nastyness behind the wheel.
I'd much rather see a nice clean wheel than all the dirty business going on behind it.

Understandable. Although if you have nice brakes rotors and whatnot they can look be good too :)

Last photo, of my car with Work Meister S1R's.

I actually have them on my MX5... Just happen to be off a VW

Original equipment is best equipment.

Autism: the post

TE37 best wheel of all time.

Rays make some stupid sexy stuff.

Have them on my car now haha, they definitely make some sexy stuff.

My Enkei TS-10 on a Toyobaru.

Nice graduation present

I'm convinced the only good wheel colours are silver and black. Can anyone show me otherwise?

I like the C5 wheels I have a lot.
Some would say they aren't wide enough though.

itt. boring and generic as fuck wheels

...

white is right (i'm not a racist btw)

what's the lightest wheel (without going nuts in price) for 17x7.5 or 17x7 (4x100bolt pattern)? a lot of places seem to omit wheel weight in their descriptions

stock wheels are 45mm offset, 16x6.5 or 17x7 if that helps

team dynamics 1.2 or enkei rpf1

shush
leave the fools be
we raise people above their natural station in life at our peril

Those are the C5 sport wheels. The regular C5 wheels are terrible looking in my opinion.

What are the tiers for wheel manufacturers?

Chrome rims has to be the cheesiest tier of rims ever created.

is mid tier and stancefag tier safe enough for normal daily driving?

which ones have styles similar to Volk and enkei

Noob question
So Im thinking of getting these wheels. I got the right size and offset, but I think it has a slightly different hub bore diameter. How much different of a measurement should I be avoiding? Can I adjust anything to make it fit?
My car is a 2012 tC if that matters

you're going to need hub centric rings. they fill the gap between the hub and the wheel bore.

what are some tasteful, relatively lightweight, not-too-expensive wheels that would look good on a 1989 240SX (in silver) without looking too ricey?
the stock ones are beaten to hell

Ok thank you based user

enkei kojin looks good on literally anything

it is the rpf1 of concave 5 spokes

Kys, almost all of those are hideous.

Even 350z?

>rpf1 of concave 5 spokes
>only comes in 17 and 18

Enkei is based af

Where's that user with the 37's on his car

It looks like a pocket knife I saw on amazon.com for 5 dollars.

Are vmr/enkei wheels any good? As long as theyre not heavier than the dumb shit I have on my car right now

wew lad

you have no taste

you first

Thanks user

>if you wanna see dope wheels
pic not related right

Paid for everything myself, but thanks mate.

Actually never went to uni/college.

Enkei RPF1's.

You can't go wrong with them.

>tfw having best wheels from the factory

Shit taste senpai.

I have BBS RAs on my E30 that came from the previous owner. He painted them black but they've gotten all beat up from changing the tires. They look like they were gold underneath, which is also ugly. Is there any way I can strip all the paint off and polish them? I'm also missing the center caps, and I found some legitimate ones online but
>$20 each
Should I just buy fakes on eBay for $2 a piece?

RIP Center Line

centerlines look so nice on some cars
too bad that pro street hood scoop looks like poop

No such thing exists. Spend $500 to swap the car to 5 lug and then spend another $2000 for volks. Anything else is peasant status.

Nobody "needs" hubcentric rings. They just make the wheel easier to bolt to the hub.

Wrong. No wheel where the spoke sticks out past the lip qualifies as good looking.

I like my gold wheels, if the car was World Rally Blue, I wouldn't want gold wheels.

I think it would be cool to get black steelies and sponge paint them with purple metallic paint.

Wasn't Watercooled that guy who sperged out at some black dude for talking to his gf? I heard he wasn't doing to well after that

Out of all the rep wheels, XXR is solid.

lol why what would you get?

Yes stancefag tier is really just mid tier quality with god tier pricing because 99% of stancefags are yuppies with trust funds.

brands similar to volk and enkei are ssr, weds, advan, and OZ

"some black dude" was his employee, he went on a racist rant including something about picking cotton. gf was doing the "we're just work friends" routine.

it was a shitty company anyways, charging people $4k to build """"""boutique"""""" show wheels when really all they did was cut faces and source everything else like a middleman.

Looks okay to me, but you're basically opening yourself up to curb-rash. Slight cringe thinking about nicking a curb with those wheels.

Enkei are basic bitch wheels. Like a Michael kors handbag.

what are the wheels to get?
