Don't do whatever one else on these forums are doing. There's nothing wrong with trying something new or different. I voted for no go, for the wheels.

I'd say take a risk and go white.

The Ti stands for Titanium from what the seller Tunerz Image is stating. I don't want to put any links on here but you could google it for: "Ti rims" or "ti5 rims"

My friend owns a shop called Top Speed in chicago, and he got a email and fax about these rims. The company that manufactures them is Seibon believe it or not. They actuaally have a few other styles that are pretty hard to find on the net, but he has them in his email so I will see if I can get some pics of the posted.

these wheels are not worth it at all. i saw the guy selling them on nasiac and for 18x7.5 with high 40's offsets he wants 1100+shippings. so for a set of really wide 18's he is probably asking about 1500 i would assume. especially in low offsets.

i say NO!!! just get some enkei rpf1 in 18x10.5+15 rear and 18x9.5+15 fronts(runs 10mm spacer to clear stock brakes) this setup weighs only 18.5lb per wheel and will cost you more then these but well worth it IMHO. i can get the rpf1 for about 1400 new. much better looking wheels. also much lighter and im willing to put money on it that its a lot stronger too

these wheels probably weigh around 25lb each. im not the one to be picky about wheels but the price kills them.

if he offered some wide 18's in low offsets for about 1200 then i would consider the Ti7's not the Ti5's. Ti5's look too plain. the Ti7's look better in my opinion. i would also do gunmetal.

rpf1 is my goal

RPF1's are sex.

Rock'em in white. TiS is a pretty good company, not great. One of the better cheap wheel makers.


Quick Reply: rims vote ti5 rims any good?
