they can be had for ~700 a set... just gotta do some looking around. personally I don't want to have to replace a bent rim because I cheaped out initially...

I have exel wheels, there nice regular cast aluminum wheels, there not the lightest or forged but there not $800+, just like any other rim out there including rota, obviously pats favorite, and they have a WAY bigger selection, they have a good finish too 2+ years crappy salty NY, power coat looks brand new
i sound like a fuckin salesman |

You can replace 3 cast wheels for the price of ONE forged wheel...
I'll take cast ANY DAY... Plus cast wheels BEND... forged wheels BREAK... Again... I'll take cast wheels. Forged is GREAT for lightweight... but frankly a LOT of these alloys out now are compensating for that... My heliums weigh like 11lbs or something like that they weigh less than the stock steel 14's.

Black wheels...
Riax wheels from http://www.CustomWheelsDirect.com are very cheap.
They come black with polished lip and are like around $100 a piece. I got some of those on my civic, but got them powder coated by the same place. They hooked me up and have great customer service. |
