Looking for opinions on wheels with pictures

gamerguy_1986 · 01-20-2013, 10:48 AM

I can't decide which way to go with wheels so I'm looking for opinions here on which way I should go. I plan to throw the Tuix lip kit on this spring with some HSD coilovers and go with one of the wheels below:

18x7.5 Speedy Lite 5:

18x7.5 Katana CR-5:

17x7 Speedy Inferno:

or I can pickup a set of stock 17x7 Limited wheels for around $400.

What do you all think?

I think 18 on this car would be a miserable ride but of those choices I like katana.

I vote Katana, also. But only because it offers more chrome or polished aluminum which really looks great with the shimmering white paint in the background. I can't help myself, I love chrome or highly-polished aluminum colors. It's an "old guy" thing from the 60's.

Inferno

Why aren't the calipers red on the first option? I like the 2nd option the best, too.

Within these 3 i would go with the Speedy, less chrome is always a win IMO. I have 18" XXR 522 with Meccatune coils and it's perfect but trust me with a lip in front you will rip this thing in no time getting out of parking driveway. I always scrape my front bumper without a lip.

I vote 17" stock Limited rims. I never could stand the look of black rims on white cars. To each their own.

It depends if your doing the big brake kit too. If not then the first one looks best IMHO.

I'm honestly leaning towards picking up a set of the stock 17" limited wheels since they are only $400 and have less than 1,000 miles on them. Any thoughts?

Actually, that's a pretty good price. Those things are running about $600+shipping for the cheapest set, and more, on eBay. Make sure the center caps are included. Doubtful the TPMS sensors are included? I would imagine the orig. owner installed them on his aftermarket rims.
