Default 99% of aftermarket wheels SUCK
i've been shopping for new wheels...for the past 4 weeks....and i swear it's driving me crazy.

everything sucks. polished lips, nasty chrome, cheap alloy, heavy ugliness, bbs wannabes, etc..etc...

*sigh*

just want lightweight, flat black, racing wheels. no frills. no bs. the only ones i find are popular with the JDM crowds....which turns me off a bit...but it's better than most of the nasty euro crap floating around, especially near VW Vortex. Man they have the WORST taste in rims i've ever seen! The WRX crowd are marginally better with the same bolt pattern (5x100)

Default There are some good ones out there >>
Most didn't do it for me either. Took me almost a year and a half to decide what I was getting.
