The 19's are a good choice. Decent size in diameter and great widths. Offsets a bit weak for a coupe, so I would recommend you run at LEAST a 10mm spacer in order to be flush, so it would put you at +12 all around.

I would agree with Calvin on this and don't put the BBS center caps on them. Nothing wrong with replica wheels, if that is within your budget. I know some people frown upon it, but lets face it, at the end of the day its your car and what you wanna do with it is up to you.

I personally would not choose any replica wheels, because I want the legit wheels. In my opinion, a great set of wheels can make your car really stand out, especially if you have a clean set up. A crappy set of wheels can make your car look like ****, even with good exterior upkeep and a clean looking body kit.

So, if you're set on getting a set of cheaper wheels because of your budget, then get the 19's. If not, then open up your budget another 1k and save up some money and get a set of some legit wheels.

You'd be a lot happier if you did and you'd definitely be the "Belle of the Ball."

sorry i cant afford real bbs? i dont have money for 800 a wheel

 

i dont have time to save and i dont wanna be dropping 2500+ on wheels if it came down to that id rather pay that towards my loan. ha but whats wrong with the ls1 replicas? im not thrilled about the color scheme but im also not thrilled with the weak setup of the raderwerks. whats wrong with 18 and 21 though?

 

I can't afford Work Meister S1's either, but I'm not about to buy a replica and put Work stickers on them. There's nothing wrong with replicas or entry-level brands given everybody has a budget. But there's a difference between being a budget-minded modder and being a poser.

 

Your wheels will be somewhat tucked with that offset. If you wanna be somewhat flush, you need to be in the low teens.

So in order to not look so tucked, you'd need to run some spacers. Nothing wrong with that in order to achieve the look you want.

Don't take their information so harshly, we all just wanna make sure you're getting the look you want and that you don't regret what you bought later down the road.

 

yeah i understand NO BBS centercaps LOL i wont do that if i get them OK for real i wont.

 

but with that high of an offset and weak of an offset doesnt that mean it wont look as good even if i DO use spacers and make it flush? like the rim wont look as good as opposed to something like a 8.5 front 10.5 rear with a 15 offset?

 

Everything being equal, they would look the same as long as the width and offset end up being the same. Example, a 9.5+12/10.5+12 setup will look the same as a 9.5+23/10.5+28 setup with a 11mm front spacer and 16mm rear spacer (theoretically speaking, since they don't come in those sizes).

You can also use a wheel offset calculator like this one:

To calculate how wheels would compare to one another with different widths.

 

[QUOTE=OGKushRob;5268670]That's fine. I have a nothing against replica wheels, per se. But when you try to pull them off as something they're not...

Good choice.

 

why is noone choosing the chikara ls1?!?! ha
if i did go with the raderwerks and used spacers would it look legit? or just like a skinny wheel moved flush?

 

Probably because the widths aren't at least 9" in the front and 10" in the back.

 

Because they are too blatant of a rip off of LMs.

The Raderwerks are original at least.

They could be wider but they'll look fine with an 9.5 in the rear. I have 8.5 in the rear of my Z (track wheels) and the stance still looks pretty good (given the offsets are +5) Do I want wider on the Z, definitely, But do I love my painted OEM 18lb Rays, hellz yes.

You'll always want more and more, I want wider in the back of my sedan but the rear stance is 100% fine without the extra .5"

 

yeah but im leaning towards the chikaras now. i wanna get the raderwerks but i poop on that offset i dont wanna have to use spacers and i want an aggressive style. i kinda wanna save up for some work vs-xx's but meh too much. im thinking chikaras then i can prob have them custom painted at a later date. after winter

 

If you want the WORK VS-XX... then save up for them. It will be worth it in the end and you won't regret the decision.

I waited 4 months for my wheels and even when I got discouraged at times because everyone had wheels but mean, it was completely worth it in the end when I finally got them.

I'm glad I went out of the 2k budget I had got the wheels that I wanted, the legit wheels that I wanted and not a replica. I don't regret the decision one bit.

 

yeah but im paying off a loan and im just not a fan of the idea of spending 2500+ on wheels at this point when i still owe my bank money for the car but i do need wheels cause my one is bent. i think i will go with the ls1!!! or maybe the ten80...idk F*** haha
