To make up for my lameness, here's a cooler thread.


What are your favorite AFTERMARKET wheels?

I'm inclined to agree with MrH.

Of wheels that I can actually afford, I'm going with ASA AR1s (which look very similar to BBS wheels).



I also loved the Borbet Type S wheels (BBS knockoff again), but they are no longer made.  And I can't find a picture of the exact wheels, but my buddy had some Mille Miglias on his 3rd gen Maxima SE - looked great.

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

I'm quite partial to WORK's wheels.

Then Konig makes things I like, too.

Yeah, the Konig Rewinds are a knockoff of Panasport wheels and Watanabe wheels.  I wouldn't put them on an M3, but they do look awesome on certain cars.

On the Mustang, it's the Shelby Razor:

For reals, though, I love Work's VIP style rimz:











I'm very satisfied with the Vogue's on the Caddy, but I've always wanted that set on the white Benz for my car.

the other Vogue wheel I was considering

I'm not a fan of the fake bolts lining the rims of those wheels (or any other wheels with similar bolt things).  F'ckin bead locks?  Come on.

Raza

Yeesh, the only ones I really like are the BBS and knockoffs like the ASAs.  Most of the rest are awful.

It really depends on the car. Torque Thrust Ds look absolutely stellar on a classic muscle car or hot rod, but look like crap on a late model Japanese sport coupe or a car like my BMW. Panasports/Minilites look great on sports cars and small sport coupes, but look silly on a luxury sedan. I love the wheels I have on the BMW, but that style woud look wrong on an MGB.

Agree. For any RWD before, say, 1988, I like Cragar SS's or Keystone Classics. I like painted steelies on 60's roadsters, and BBS wheels on European sportscars.

I love NISMO wheels.  I guess they are really Volk wheels, but whatever.

Hopefully you didn't sell it to her after hearing that.

lol, honestly, I would have loved to see if she was actually going to go for it. Alas, she lost patience learning stickshift on that car, so she bought a Civic instead.
