Tell me about aftermarket wheel's Veeky Forums, I know nothing about them.

Do you need to spend $400 a wheel to get nice ones?

What makes a wheel good or bad?

Is there any good budget ones?

Forged are better than cast. Forged are much lighter and are better for racing. Forged will bend instead of crack on a super hard impact. Forged are a lot more expensive than cast.

Cast are much cheaper. They're heavier than forged, but are still fine for racing. Cast will bend to an extent on certain impacts, but will break if it's too much. Cast is much cheaper.

Cast wheels are a lot more durable than they used to be. While they're still not forged wheels, they're not going to shatter unless you really hit something hard, and generally anything that'll destroy a cast wheel would have destroyed a forged wheel too, it would just have been an unfixable bend than a break.

>$400 a wheel to get nice ones

For forged, yeah usually. Cast is closer to $250/wheel for nice cast wheels.

>good budget ones
Enkei RPF1s are probably the most popular, well made, budget wheel. (About $1,200.) Pic-related.

Not exactly alloys, but these look pretty neat, does anyone sell these type of wheels but that are okay for highway and road use? I'm no racer.

just get Rotas or other replica wheels that you can buy an entire set of for $500

expensive shit is a meme

Basically all this. Also look on car forums for used wheels, and CL. You need

For your car/needs. A bad offset kills the car.

Are Rota's any good compared to higher end stuff? I don't seem myself doing any racing, but if get myself a project car like a olf FB/FC or 280z, I might want to put some nicer wheels on it and mess around with it.

Besides being made by south east asian jungle niggers, what causes the price gap between Rotas and higher end stuff?

>look for good brand with good reputation
>weight is all that matters
you can go mid tier like JR or rota or ronal but no lower than that

If that's too expensive just buy steelies and paint them

theyre fine but heavy as fuck

Rotas are cast wheels and lets say you go flying into a curb or a bad pothole they like to crack or shatter compared to expensive as fuck wheels that bend

people like to shit talk Rota based on ancient stories but their quality has improved greatly

retarded tripfag with his retarded cancerous benchracing opinions pulled out of his ass at it again.
Only thing you are is 100% reliable.

aftermarket wheels are trash. oem is best.
