Default Want to mod my car and need some info.

Hi everyone,
I want to mod my car with some new rims or wheels. Can you suggest me some manufacturers and how much will they cost? Can you also recommend me some of them?

Thanks. Enjoy.

depends on your price range (are you willing to spend $500 per wheel, $1000 per wheel, $4000 per wheel?), needs (like do you need lightweight ones?), and a few other things...

I'm willing to spend a decent amount, lets just say around 500 to 1K if its worth it. I need to do my research first and if I feel like I need those wheels, then I'll spend, otherwise I'll go for a good deal if I can find one.

I don't have much experience in modding etc.

u cant go wrong with VOLKS, AME,WORK, BBS, WALD OZ's they all have tons of diff styles.take ur time find a quality pair that you like and dont go the cheap route. (there are however cheaper rims that are of decent quality: ASA, KEI racing.)
There is alot of information on this site, just take the time to filter through all of it and ull find exactly what you want. BTW Qaulity, fitment, sizes and offsets are also all discussed and ull def need that info for out cars so going thru the threads are a must.
goodluck

i would suggest you decide on how your gonna drop your car first that way you can decide on the rims(how aggressive the offset)/tiresize without worry. drop first then rims

Thanks..just wondering what's an offset? and how is it related to tire size? Sorry I'm an idiot when it comes to modding.

Tirerack actually has a few helpful threads which helps understand the basics of wheels and tires and the like.
Take a look at the super big aftermarket wheel thread at the top of this forum for ideas
