Wheel Comparison, your thoughts please
 
So When i take delivery of my next month i have a couple of things i want to get done (clearbra backup cam/tinted taisl etc). However as far as wheels are concerned i have a few questions. My initial plan was to just keep the rays sport wheels and then get a set of 18's with blizaks, come winter time. However, seeing all these mesh wheels around i know that they are something i'd eventually want to replace my rays (19's). That being said, should i just order new wheels right away, and then sell the rays as "new" or just wait a year or so and then get a new set and sell rays then. If i keep the rays i'd probably want to get that wheel insurance b.s. from the dealer just for piece of mind. Your opinion on this matter would be helpful.

Another question i have is what you think of these wheels. I want a Mesh wheel, and i want to stay at 19x10 in the back, but it doesn't look like i can with any ones i see so it has to be 19x9.5, will this be a problem with using the stock sport tires/will it affect handling.

In terms of the actual wheels i'd want i am thinking the Volk SF winnings, The Axis Penta or the TSW snetterton, but considering the volks are over twice as expensive, they are probably out of the question.

Axis Penta:

TSW Snetterton:

Now, when it comes to quality, what am i sacrificing when it comes to the less expensive wheels. should i go AXIS or TSW. are these wheels half the quality of the Volks? does any one have any experience with these two other wheels/brands? any advice would be appreciated!

Is it me, or do all of those wheels look the same?

Jeffblue 04-11-2010 11:48 AM

yes they do look the same pretty much, but there are subtleties to them. the TSW spokes seem to be a the most straight, and the volks spokes seem to be the most widely split, with the axis being somewhere in the middle. This is why i want to ask this here. they all look so similar, so if people have any insight on why i should get one over the other it would really help.

I would get the sfwinning. I'm surprised the other brands are even compared. I don't think sfwinnings come in a good offset though.
