I don't think I've ever seen those wheels before...not sure what brand they are

they look ok I guess, I'd talk to Danny@Limited Edition and look into some iForged or Boxer83 about some Forged360, they are great to work with and those are both incredibly high quality wheels

C'mon guys. Not everyone is willing to spend more than $4K on wheels.

I like number 2 and the last one.

They all look pretty decent imo.

i agree. while most of us choose to spend the money on quality wheels, it's not for everyone. if those wheels make you happy then go for it; just get the right offset

just keep in mind 20 inch wheels by cheap companies tend to be heavy and you will notice a performance difference when you put them on. kinda like running in work boots compared to some nikes

+ 1 I like the tsw's (the second one) Tsw has a pretty good rep for a "budget wheel" Those would look good on a white car and at only 3 bills a pop!!

I bet if it was labeled differently, it would change your mind....
SSR VF1's



JR Rocha's award winning show G37 had the same wheels, and they looked like these...

You get what you pay for...there are plenty of ways to get quality wheels without paying an arm and a leg. But to each his own

i have run so many wheels on all my cars so far from Niche Concepts to Konig - Quality - yeah maybe a difference - but can you really tell - the Weight - YES you are right! the better engineered wheels tend to be lighter.

I am not in the mood to spend 5k on wheels this time...but i like all the advice - and will check out other options..also i thknk the TSWs so have a good rep in the industry as a long term player.

thanks guys.
