I like emotion cr ultimates but just for looks and affordability. The fact that they are heavy is holding me back. I like the nismo wheels as well but they are too pricey for me and I wish they were morw flush withoyt spacers.

I found a set with new tires and TPMS sensors for $2500. That's basically getting the wheels for $1k. If you shop around you can find deals on Nismo wheels.

Yeah, I check the classifieds section regularly.

adv 1 wheels are not bad, dunno if anyone else likes them.

You want forged wheels. There is ForgeLine rims. Made in Ohio.

Saw their site yesterday. Way too pricey for me.

Work wheels are a dime a dozen...way too much of them around!

I'd rather get Nessen wheels but they are dbl the price of Works. Nessen looks nicer though.

My favorite!

Well, if price is no object I'm going straight to HREs.

Looks are subjective, i seriously doubt the main reason why people choose work wheels over other brands is becauce of the JDM craze.

They are a bit pricey, but sometimes people are willing to pay a little more to get what they want, myself being one of them because i ordered the GS4. Didnt do it for the JDM craze, didnt do it for the performance. I simply did it because i like how they look on my Z.

that's cheap.

i wouldn't mind having another set of nismo's but in that gunmetal color. my car's silver so i dont mind the hyper silver finish on mine though. i goes well with the door handles.

S1s are 26 lbs or something, VS-XX are about the same...

And I honestly think that the S1's are some of the ugliest wheels made, VS-XX I'm ok with. (But this is just my opinion)

I don't understand the rave about TE37s (I think the design is very simple), but I understand the weight and respect that.

But why are Works $3-4000?

because thats what they cost? what is the point of this thread?

i would go for the carbon fiber wheels.

i think i read something like 6-7lbs for 19's or something.

I'd be afraid of what happens when you hit a big bump at speed. Carbon fiber doesn't bend. It breaks.
