Default Need wheel recommendations...

Okay guys, I have a brand new set of tires on some wheels that drastically need changing. What I'm looking for are either 5-spoke or Superleggera spoke-style wheels. I'd also like a nice lip in the back (1 1/2 - 2 1/2 inch). Preferably a chrome finish, but I am open to suggestions.

Tire sizes are staggered: front - 245/40 ZR 18
rear - 285/35 ZR 18

Budget is around 2K, but I would like to keep some of that. New wheels are a must, not looking to inherit anyone else's issues.

Any ideas? Pretty please?

I have a relatively stock (lowered about 1 1/2 inches) black, 93 SC 400 w/ black pearl emblems. And I didn't hit the work group buy because I didn't need wheels until now.....

As far as Superleggera styled wheels are concerned you have a few choices:

IForged Evolutions



JLine 10RL3


DTM Kruz


As for 5 spoke wheels you've got a whole world of options open to you.

Heh, too many options. Was wondering which ones would be preferred, as I don't want to end up with something that is of poor quality. Those IForged's are hot. Thanks, Seize!

5 Spoke recommendations

IForged Aero



Auto Couture Supreme



Work Euroline SL



SSR Professor SP1



There's a whole lotta 5 spoke wheels out there. After all, it's one of the more popular/classic wheel styles available.

Popular and classic because the style is undeniable. The IForged's have convinced me...putting in a PM to D2 as we speak. Thanks again, Seize.

I hear you on that one! In alot of cases, we get people that ask if we accept used wheel trade-ins and I think the same thing! Not to mention the potential liability issues of a business selling used wheels (damage, part failure on the highway, etc), I know there are disclaimers, but if I buy a used wheel, and it falls apart on the highway I'd be talking to a lawyer sure enough! lol

As far as your choices go, just let me know what iFORGED you want to go with. All the FORMULA series are the same price.

Click this link to the current promo, it will help you with the wheels, and styles, etc etc
