That's why i prefer OEM wheels.

OEM wheels give the car a much more classy look that will always be remembered.

Yes true, not as individualized, but hey, I always want to go for the look in OEM catalogs.

Tenzo, ICW, Primax,Anything wheelmax or wheelnex is pretty inexpensive......

i would rather roll stock then waste my money on that garbage
The toughest thing with alot of those brands too is fitment, they tend to be geared towards the sport compact segment, so you end up with a 18.75" 40et wheel on the rear of a 2IS

If you dont want to break the bank, another nice brand is Privat.

Here's a link to their webpage. Pretty nice designs and very reasonable pricing

I had Rota's on my subie and they were a pretty good wheel all around i think. I put them through hell and they took the beating. They never bent or anything, the finish chipped in a few places but they were just chips, not flaky(mine were gunmetal) but i couldnt complain, got wheels and tires for 1100 bucks.

there's nothing wrong with rotas...the quality seems to be good and i think they look good as well. the only reason some people don't like them is that some of the designs are copies of high end wheels and the people rocking the high end wheels don't want others imitating them. i have a set of gt3s on my civic hatch. i didn't want to spend more on wheels than i paid for the car lol. and the guy that posted earlier is right about styles changing rapidly but oem is timeless. that's very true. i am not going to mod my car because what's hot one minute is not the next, and i don't want to be poor as a result of attempting to keep up with the tuning scene.

I'm really happy with my TSW Nogaro's (see link in sig). They were $1K installed.
