are you on coils? I'd say roll on stocks and slam it, spacers would be great too.

MiiK, I respect your ability to prioritize, I hope you can get back on the game with wheels soon...

What is your budget? If you're looking at $800-$1000 it seems like you have no option but replicas, or used enkeis (something of that nature).

If you're looking at $1500, then I highly recommend the new Forgestar CF5. It is a rotary forged wheel with fully (well, almost) customizable specifications. Here are a few photos. Anything wider than a 9" wheel, is considered 'deep concave'.

If you're interested PM me, I have a contact for you.





They are available at any powdercoated finish at no additional cost.

If you like black, get them. Don't do a color!

I agree with some here...save the money and roll on stockers until you are done with school.
