If forced to choose from that selection, I would go with the "RS-GT". I'm a 5-spoke man myself

what are you looking on import sites?

i think you can find alot of those at belletire and discount tire. save your money, for slightly more you could get a billet 2 piece wheel that would look identical and fit directly to your car.

yeah, i'm a fan of more spokes and less metal. Theres nothing I hate more than a blinged-out or ghetto looking set of wheels on a nice car.

I like the Cragar wheels, but imo they all look alike. Plus, I need something that sets my style apart from everyone else and that looks somewhat aggressive as well.

A hint of r1ce in my situation may not hurt, dare I say it, as I'm a second degree black belt and therefore 11 years of my life have had a good amount of influence from the eastern cultures.

your aerospeed crush wheel....

look here. 2 piece, better made and better looking...take your pic as there are a few to choose with direct bolt so you'll save money on $200 in billet adapters to bolt them to your car. giving the car a custom look that doesn't look "*****" or like a high school kid drives it. little more price then the standard boyd wheel but worth it.

http://www.billetwheel.com/Wheels/Forged/forged.html

more affordable and some of my favorites are the gotcha series from boyd.

http://www.billetwheel.com/Wheels/Gotcha/gotcha.html

budnik and their X series was one of my choice areas.... i prefer the fat lip option but to each their own.

http://www.budnik.com/roadwheels.asp


billet specialties....another classic favorite for the old school. they make a nice wheel and still affordable. check em out.

check out intro as well......you never know.

http://www.introwheels.com/index.asp

www.bozeforged.com

www.hrewheels.com

www.iforged.com

remember that all of these companies have wheels that aren't on their website. if there is truly a design that your into and can't find ask them. you never know.

that ought to be enough for now...

f-08...essentially the f-07. you can get the little tear cuts removed or added to either. only difference really is where the 5 star meets the barrel. same thing with my boze wheels. the tears were extended much like the f-08 i actually had them shorten it up a bit but left it for some definition.

very similar, came out just after boze released their stinger model. i even commented to them when i was considering boyd and asked why they didn't have a more basic looking 5 star with a clean look........few months later and the forged series popped up. now they do, guess they caught on.
