where can i get nice wheels with nice price?

[jbarbaresi]

it depends on what you want and how much you are looking to spend. i just went through this myself and it's a pain in the *** narrowing down your choices. i would recommend finding wheels you like first, then finding some place to buy them from by using a search engine. there's a lot of places you can buy wheel/tire packages from for decent prices but if you want expensive wheels they are going to be expensive no matter where you look. the nice thing about buying a package is that they come mounted and balanced already and MOST places have already tested fitment to your vehicle. just be careful so you don't end up with the same headache i have right now. let me know what you're looking for and i'll try to help you out. and just a word of advice, don't post a thread like this in the "Wheel" forum or they will rip you a new *******.

well im new to the forum so thanks for the avice. and i wanted Grid Racing rota rims. size is 17 x 7.5 x 114.3.

those rota wheels are gonna be kinda hard to find in your bolt pattern. from what i was able to find it's gonna run you about $700 to $800 for a set of four wheels, but like i said i was only able to find 4 X 100 and 5 X 100, i'm guessing you need 5X114.3. there are a lot of other wheels out there in that same price range that look very similar to the grid and i saw you were also looking at the D2. i would suggest to get onto wheelsnext.com, wheelfire.com, tirerack.com, thewheelconnection.com, superbuytires.com, wheelguyz.com, wheelmax.com or any one of the other hundred websites that sell wholesale priced wheel and tire packages. i'm sure if you look around for a little bit you'll probably even find something you like better. if you like the look of the Grid i would recommend you take a look at the R-1 Monsoon that you'll find at wheelsnext and wheelfire.com. just understand that most of the wheels you will be looking at in your price range are going to be 1-piece cast wheels. if you want multi piece or forged wheels you are going to pay a lot more, you'll get one wheel for about the price of a four piece set. if you see something you like let me know and i'll try to help you out with the offset and tire size and such. have fun.

Nope, he needs 4X114.3, which is even worse.

I got mine from EdgeRacing.com in a package. All told it came out $750ish for 4 wheels and Falken Ziex tires. I've been driving around Atlanta for quite awhile now and haven't had a single problem with the wheels or the tires.

Anyway, you're not going to find many Rotas in the right bolt pattern. They're almost all 4/5X100. It may be best to start with sites that match up options by what their database says will fit.

i would agree with him on that. try wheelnext.com tirerack.com or wheelfire.com. they are great wheel search websites where you put in your vehicle information and it will filter out all the wheels that don't fit. its great for you if you're new and don't know a terrible amount about wheels and fitment. i got on those and learned a $hit load about the differences between wheels, bolt patterns, offsets and all that good crap. like i said, just be careful that the website has tested fitment on your vehicle so you don't get stuck in the same situation that i'm in. you should be alright though cause your car has been around for a couple years already and pretty much everyone has tested them out.
