I know its been said 1000 times before. When it comes to cars, you get what you pay for...sometimes an extra $100 can really make or brake a mod down the road. But is it the same for rims? I am not talking about POS $25 rims, but amungst name brands. Are american racing better than weld, or motegi, oz, enkei, roh, etc.... Are there certain ones everyone should stay away from?

 

yes there is a difference......it all depends on the purpos and the budget though as to what that difference is.

 

Lets say around $175-$250 a rim. Nothing like $1000 per rim..

 

what's with the....

nice, good luck.

 

imo why not keep your stock rims. For a couple hundred bucks a rim youre not going to get anything better then what you have in the first place (unless you have crappy 15X7 wheels) and you could either save that money and put a little more into the wheel budget so youre actually upgrading your rims not downgrading or you could just put the money towards another purpose.

 

Mine are Like $125 pre rim

 

my guess is because $1000 per rim is rediculous..which i agree much rather spend money on other more useful things.

 

maybe I'd spend my money on an education.... ....joking.

If you had a car like Kandied91z you could justify any amount of money:hail:

 

half-way correct. if you had a budget like jeff's you could justify it.

 

rIdiculous blah..

who needs education

cars are my education

 

i learn more working on my cat then i do at school, and im being serious. id say about 250$ is the max i would spend on a rim, but 800$ a set is good like those repro iroc rims.

 

Go after stock rims form other GM vehicles... hell, i've seen various C5 owners selling their Wagon wheels (rims I have) for like $250 a set. Not bad rims either.

 

That is very true. I looked for months for a good set of stock wheels for my car on ls1.com since i have a 4th gen rear i got for it. I found a set for 200+ shipping with tires. Not too bad of a deal considering I can now drive the car with the 4th gen rear without having the iroc wheels sticking out like a sore thumb.

Not the off of the same car, but the same wheels.:hail:

 

We don't want to know what you do with your "cat". ahahahha, just kidding. I couldn't let that go.

 

i got original creagers.....50 a piece used.

 

slp wants $399 for the 10spoke take-offs. 799 for rims and goodyear tires....not bad if you ask me....(i really love the 10spoke ss rims on thirdgens...only 17" wheel i would ever consider)

 

The reason I want to get new rims is that I need new tires and I want to get more traction. Obviously it would be a waste of money to buy tires now and then buy tires again when I buy new rims down the road. I say just do it all at once.
