How about these wheels?

Post by Merzbow »

So...I'm getting wheels in the spring I've decided. I want 18" preferably gunmetal or black and NO CHROME unless it's on the lip.Well, I found a style that I wanted. They are probably one of the most beautifully designed rims I've ever seen. I know the brand makes mostly truck and SUV rims and I am against spinners and oversized rims but these are amazing and I could not resist. They even match the color scheme of my car, red and black!So I find a set, Davin is a luxurious company so I was expeting them to cost a little more than what I was willing to spend ($1500). I see they only come in 19"s which I wasn't sure would fit with the S-Tech drop. The price was $1085! What a deal.Upon closer inspection I saw that was the price per wheel...$4340 is for four wheels without tires. I'm so upset I dunno what to get now All hopes and dreams smashed knowing by the time I get $4500 to blow on wheels they will have been long past discontinued and unavailible lol.

However, many others are out there - that are much cheaper.

Merzbow, you'd better freshen up your calipers and drums because they'll probably be in plain view here pretty soon. I might also suggest you do yourself (and the crook!!) a favor and jack the car up, supporting each corner with jack stands/concrete blocks/whatever you like each time you park. No need to see them just drop the thing once they take the wheels! How about take your stock wheels down to someobody and have them paint 'em gunmetal but paint one spoke that red color? lol!Seriously, good luck finding something. Plenty of things to select from, and if you happen to play your cards right, you could possibly have cash left over to buy something else with.

Yeah like 50shot of NX I like the wheels I have now but they are too small. If they came in 18s I would hav eno problem keeping them. And to me there is nothing more imoprtant than cars so spending $4500 on parts is not something I would regret

$4500 on wheels... OUCH! I would just keep looking, I'm sure you will find something you like just as much for a LOT cheaper!
