Or just rims? Unless your getting performance rims, which for under a grand, your not getting performance rims, it really won't matter to much which brand you go with. And since your going to 18's, that by itself will limit what manufactures make a rim that will fit. For example if you want 18x8 or 18x9's, there are probably only 6 or 8 manufacturers that make a rim with the correct offset and lug pattern anyway.(while staying under a grand.) I would just stay with a name that has been around for awhile, Konig, O.Z, Motegi, Einki. There are of course more out there than this list represents. One of the true freedoms we pocess is the ability to choose for ourselves. This is definatley one of those catagories that you can fully exercise that.

Cory Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 A set of most Tenzo R, Konig or Enkei 18's will run you about a grand. Including tires I don't think you'll be able to make it out under $1200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth1 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 If you go to a good shop for tires and rims. yeah they will know. Stay away from wheel spacers and changing the outside diameter of the tire. That's usually where you start having problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus954 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 well see the story is i know a guy his friend of mine and he works for a distributer of rims company like they make the rims and everything near my area so i mean he could get me a set of 18" the style i want with brand new tires that are known brands like, michellin, bridgestone, etc...but the thing is that the brands he has are STATUS, RUFF RACING , DC rims and he can get me them with tires from $600-900 so like i mean i went to the sites of the rims and like i dont know if they worth it or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth1 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Well, that's a tough spot. See, heres the deal. Some wheel manufactures have " wider" standards than others. For example, Einki has one of the lowest movement tolerance's in production rims. Some of the top wheel manufactueres have stepped up to meet those, but not all. And on a road force balance, Some manfuctureres don't consider "out of round " until you hit 27. Really good is around 16. You can feel 18 or more in the steering wheel. My IS 300 registers a 12. The best I have ever seen is an 11. And those rims were 750.00 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smooth1 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I guess sometimes I don't know what people know and what they don't. I also sometimes take for granted that people know what I'm talking about. If there is ever a question, please feel free to ask, I'll further explain. What part did I confuse you about?
