Looking at rims for the next several weeks

[Nghty89]

Ok, so I am currently searching for rims that are nice looking and affordable. I like 5-spoke rims with lips, but I have not made a decision yet. So far my finds are:

1) MSW Type 14 17x7 in the front and 17x8 in the rear

2) MSW Type 16 17x8 all around

3) Enkei Performance EV5 17x7 all around

4) Focal F05 flat blacks 17x7.5 all around

I would go with atleast 17x9 in the rear. But maybe thats just me.

^^^ Thats not just you. Im running 9.5 in the rear. I dnt like any of those, of course in my opinion. If i have to chose i'd go with the F05. Where are you in VA?

 

[Nghty89]

I'm in Hampton Roads. If I could find some 17x9-10 that would be awesome for the rear... but so far no luck on 17x7-8 in the front and 17x9-10 in the rear rims in 5 spoke that have black or gun-metal that don't cost an arm and a leg.

anything with 8.5-9 front and 9.5-10 rear. 7 is stock and too skinny.

cheap wheels that look decent. what do you want to know? real wheels cost way above 1k even used.

I like those quite a bit. I have decided I may be just buying rims with good tires on them for now to replace my 2 flats and 2 bad tires (all stock sawblades).

If you're into 5-spokes, but not really wanting to run 962s like a lot of people I've seen, here's an option: XXR 502, 5 dual spokes, 8.5 in the front on 255s, 9.5 in the rear with 275s, +35mm all around. Thinking about spacing them another 8mm, also considering a lower drop but then it'd be a PITA to drive the car around. Don't mind the blasted red calipers.

Attached.

Edit: Wheel size: 18in.

your right and thats why i have 91-92 5 spokes. imo i dont like flat wheels. i like wheels with a staggered look and dish to a certain point. im just waiting for the right point in which i have enough money to spend 2500-3k on wheels and tires which might be a while.

 

[kelson]

imo don't by the silver painted ones. they don't stand out at all, so most people wont even notice their not hub caps. but my choice is the other msw's those are like some of my favorte rims ever!!

 

[SrBigbutt]

You are not looking hard enough. When I look there are way to many options. I spend hours searching and i'm still undecided. But definately going 18 x 8.5 front and 18 x 10 in the rear if I can.

If you're looking for inexpensive, yet wide 5-spoke wheels you could look into all the various Mustang SVT or Cobra rims floating around out there.
It all depends on what you like, but if you're on a budget, buying inexpensive (but sturdy) wheels would give you more of a budget for buying some nice tires!
These are my 17" x 9" polished aluminum SVT rims. Not everyone likes them! Some people on here HATE the idea of Mustang wheels on a Supra. It's just an idea, so nobody need to flip out!
