Which wheels would you buy if you had $1,600?
 

Title says it all.... Need some wheels (18"/19") which would you get if that's all you have at the moment? Thanks for the folks that leave me input and help

2013 Nismo Wheels

TSW Bathurst. Around 21-22lbs for the 19x9.5 and 10.5. About $1200-1300 for the set. Which leaves you some $$ for the tires.

Edit: since you are pricing these out. I should prob mention that given the offsets they are available in you'd probably wind up wanting 15-20mm spacers all around. Which does two things: adds some $ to the whole thing $150-200 and adds a bit of weight. However, the same could be said for the Nismo wheels posted above and they are pricier per set $1500-2000 generally (dependant on condition).

:icon18: I was thinking he's probably going to need some rubbers to drive on.

wait. and save a tad more

Forgestars

Rohana's or Stance's new rotary forged wheels. Find a wheel in your budget with the correct offset from the get-go. Do your research. No need to buy a set of wheels with higher offsets, knowing you will need spacers, like I almost did with some new TSW's.

Good point.

For me, if I can't have a customized/exact offset then a 5mm spacer or a 15 makes little difference. So the difference between a Nismo wheel and the TSW Bathurst (or others that don't have exact offsets) is nil in my world. They both/all need spacers for flush fitment.

With that in mind, the ForgeStar wheels are a great choice for both price and spot on offsets since they are customizable. They are within the OPs budget as well. Probably some other brands that both meet the buyer's budget and offer offset customization.

those are like 2250 shipped conus, i think.

:iagree:

try to find something that are 22-23lbs or less each.

I was thinking used lol

I still have the 20's ISS forged -

Rohana RC10 or save a couple hundred more dollars and get some work emotion cr Kiwamis

For $1600? :rofl2:

forget the wheels. Use that money to get you a new LSD for that base diff!!!

.. Just not sure if I want to right now, only because I won't have a garage to put the Z in.. I don't want to get robbed lol

I'm in the same boat as you because I am trying to get wheels AND a new LSD as kentstuh suggests. I agree with the forgestars suggestion, also if you have 1600 just for the wheels then kamispeed has gram light 57extremes on special for 1600 for a set of 19x9.5 and 19x10.5

Your best bet is finding something used

If youv saved $1600, save longer for more options

youll wish you had man. Is houston that bad for theft? If your wheels are flashy, even if they cost $500 youll stick out more for theft. Your best bet, no matter what you decide on is to up your insurance by the value of your wheels.

Progressive allows up to $5k in added insurance for aftermarket parts, Im sure they arent the only ones

Thanks for showing me these wheels they are the type I am looking for. Sorry for the question but what is LSD I thought that was only a drug.... :roflpuke2:

Limited slip differential. Keeps all your power from going to just one wheel by regulating the speed differential between left and right wheels.


And no problem if you get the gram lights definitely post some pics
