cheap dish all day... when I **** up a front wheel (lack of tire) it's 115 buck for a new one




wheels aren't ungodly heavy either... lighter than my 18" sterns (usdm)

Wow you guys can't be serious. Why have such nice cars with loads of money invested in them and then put **** wheels on them. Step up and put some real wheels on your car (BBS-WORK-WEDS-SSR-VOLKS-ADVAN etc.) I don't care how nice your car is if its rolling on cheap wheels it getS a from me. Not that my opinion matters its your car but wheels will make or break a cars entire look and feel.

I would just like to say that you don't always have to spend big money or buy big name parts to get a nice end result. These wheels are pretty decent & the cost is low for those that can't afford those above stated wheels that want an upgrade.

They're Mustang guys....not exactly the brightest ones...but all 5 lug 'Stangs are 5x4.5=5x114.3. The wheels are a 5x4.5 bolt pattern.

Your right, i'm just talking in specific about people who have well over 5k invested in aftermarket parts to then put on rotas/mb's or xxr's. There are some budget wheels (5zigen/Varrstoen) out that are around 250-300 a piece that look nice and are well made. But these 150 dollar wheels are just poorly made and look cheap. Spend the extra dough and get some better made wheels.

I'm planning on making these my DD wheels...soon to buy. I've got $6000 in my car...but I don't have $3000 to put into wheels let alone $1000-1200 for wheels and then another $400-800 in tires..I'll take a set of these, drop my coilovers down, get some Nexens in 225/40 and have a nice stretch, nice stance, and not have sold a ******** to have a good looking car. I had a set of Work VS-SD's...do I miss them? Yeah. Were they rare and beautiful? Yeah. But I had to sell them to pay rent and live..some of us aren't swimming in money in this economy, and would still like to be able to do things to OUR cars. Yeah, they're cheap wheels, but like LTrain said, if I **** one up on Indianapolis roads (which will eat your children), I won't cringe as much to shell out $118 for a 17x10 which will be all around on my car. (as for the tires, I got the hookup )

So dude, I get your buy name brand wheels....and I will don't worry I'm going to get my VS-SD's back, but right now, I gotta be able to put food in my stomach, and if I can still get wheels for my car....I'm down.

My $.07.

No, your opinion doesn't matter.

You rock your dual fart cannons and bbs **** that everyone and their brother has. We dont care. Not everyone wants to roll like you (and the rest of em)
Offset, width, diameter, fitment, looks. Yes, we are serious. **** wheels. Ha. For $500ish shipped in those widths/diameters plus money left over for spacers and tires for a TINY fraction than what you paid for your setup must be grinding your gears.......otherwise why hate on it? Real wheels? Lol. I'm so sick of this crap. Jump off japan's dick for 10 seconds.

Jdm whoring only gets you so far before your wrist snaps from limping excessively.


The only thing stopping me from work eurolines was the fact i didn't have a set of wheels i felt comfortable tracking with so i spent $800 on mb battles over $1200+shipping for my eurolines. I'd rather not spend my days eating ramen, quitting smoking and working 80 hours a week.

You're 5zigens are on nearly every car i see. BBS and fnorc's everywhere. THe TE knocks you mentioned are nice but not everyone wants to save the extra money or wants to put in the work to pull them off (and you just can't throw them on every fc out there....you know that).

One day, you'll understand. Rota makes grids in 18x12 now and i'll probably be buying those and paying $350 per wheel. Hate all you want. It's not a show car nor am i aiming for photo shoots or mags. It's MY car and i'll enjoy it how i want. I've got $3k in my suspension, $3k in engine work and about $2500 in wheels, steering, brakes and other random crap.....soooooo yeah. I was offended a bit by your post.

No one was telling you what to do with your car. If you want to roll around with 5 different color body panels and rota wheels go for it chief. I'll leave you with this for now ace.....

Well damn what started off as a thread showing a cheaper alternative in wheels ended up turning into the usual dick swinging contest. Everyone has their own taste in what they think looks good & everyone has different budgets in which they can build thier cars. There's nothing wrong with a little contructive criticism, but why is there the need to bash anyone?

NOOO ****. Stop bitching at eachother and don't come on this thread with a negative attitude about cheap wheels. I mean I'm just supporting our economy by buying them ***** (LOL), the reason I picked these wheels is because the offsets are amazing and no one else with an FC is rocking them yet. Rotas and XXrs are played out, if they had a decent looking 10" wide wheel that hasn't been rocked by EVERYONE I would buy that **** in a heartbeat.
