I've never bought aftermarket wheels before so I don't really know where to look. I know what I want though, so maybe someone can help me out. I did the measurements today to figure out width and offset. What I want:
Gloss black with polished lip5 spoke, wide spokes18x9 +10 front18x10 +10 rear5x114.s bolt spacing
Nothing super expensive, but I don't want cheap pieces of **** either.

Re: Need help buying wheels (IHeartTurbo)
Great pick on those sizes. No particular wheel comes to mind right now that fits your request, but what ppl usually do is find a wheel in a style they like, then go to the manufacturer's website to see if they have your desired specs.
It wouldn't be helpful for us to find you stuff in the sizes you want, but they weren't aesthetically pleasing to you...

Re: Need help buying wheels (simmode1)
Well I've found one wheel that I like, but I'm not sure if the company makes quality wheels and I haven't found them in the offset I need. I'm going to call around to a few dealers tomorrow to ask them. They're Motegi Touge's.simmode1 wrote:Great pick on those sizes.

Do you have a good site for looking at popular wheels though? I've looked on tire rack and wheelmax, but I'm sure theres other places.

Re: Need help buying wheels (IHeartTurbo)
You're probably not going to find much of anything new in those sizes that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Used is probably your best bet. Good luck!

EDIT: I just peeped the specs. Those wheels have the spec you want, but I just have a dislike of Motegi's. I don't have a reason to say don't get them though. If they're good enough for Forumla D, they should be good enough for you.
