Wheel Hunting!!

Ok so im tired of looking at these Enkei's and now im searching for a new type of rim.. Problem is, i cant really decide on a wheel! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as im not trying to spend a gazillion dollars on rims lol

Looking at Rota, Asa's at the time being..

PS How much could i get off of these enkei evo 6's?

What kind of style do you like? Black- black/polished- polished- Hyper Silver- thick spokes, thin spokes-.... diameter/Width? So many variables. Also love to help others spend their $$$$!

Im really liking the black/ chrome lip look, but silver is nice also.. My car is dark sliver so I would prefer black.

As for spokes, Im liking the bbs style, and the 5 spoke look also, i really just like a simple, clean rim design

looking for wheels

I have a set of all satin black 16" Rota Slipstreams w/ecsta SPTs if you're interested... I can't afford drivers' schools anymore, and I don't care for the all black look. PM me if interested.

BBS RS with lime green centers plus polished 3" lips and gold bolts... oh wait... I forgot this isn't VW Vortex...

I really like the enkei RPF01. They look pretty nice, come in black or silver and are extremely lightweight if you're into driving quickly/autocrossing.

I really want these OZ Alleggeritas in black.



I'm thinking of buying them in the spring and selling my Konigs to absorb some of the cost. Expensive but they're ballin' and light.

Yeah white looks really good on your car. Red would be sweet if I could get it color matched to the body paint.

If you want black there's only one choice in my book. The team dynamics racing. You can get a matte black, matte with red painted lip or gloss black with polished lip. I've had the TDR's and Some OZ ultraleggeras. Here is why I'm going back to the TDR's. They're smoother, less hard edges and nooks and crannies to clean, the 1.0s I had took a 10lb sledge hammer head laying on the highway at 80mph, bent, but remained intact, that was with a 215/40 tire. The whole right side of the car came off the ground a good 6-8 inches. The fact I was still able to drive on the wheel was enough to impress to me. After that I got the OZs since I had the TDRs for a couple years. The ultraleggeras are just pain to clean, and cost more, and bent two with lesser impacts. TDRs aren't a whole lot cheaper but at least a 100-150 less than OZs for a set.

Ultraleggerars are a lot different then the Alleggritas. The Alleggritas are a lot easier to clean and are extrmemly light. Also they really are not that expensive. If I had to do it again though I would have gotten the 16s instead.

I can't tell if this works because I am at work but Red Alleggerittas on Chili Red looks good. Also you can have them painted or powdercoated too if you want a better match. I had mine powdercoated white. They are almost an exact match.

O.Z. Alleggerita HLT & Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

Got them installed today and just love them. I do have the stock runflats with wheels (less than 200 miles so I think they are new) which I am willing to sell if anyone has a need. (18") I think my dog is trying to tell me that she wants me to stop "playing with my car" and instead "play with her"!
