I don't race or track my car, so I don't really know if the wheels affected the performance of the car. All I know is that I'm still getting the same mpg with the new wheels on.

My G bros,

This is different from the web style wheel I showed you, but I'm considering going 5 stars also. These are Motegi 20x8.5 wheels, 4 wheels + tires for $1000 at a local shop (MS designs). Cheapest nice looking wheel ive found so far. I do like the cleaner Vossen 084, but the cheapest I've seen is $500 each.

What do you think?

I got my Vossens through Discount Tire. They're the cheapest place I found. My Vossens ran $412 a wheel.

Sorry but Motegi's are weak and very heavy. Go with Vossen's if you don't want to spend a lot. They are much better and have a wheel that has a similar design to the Motegi.

Rikochet: Considering weight vs fuel economy as in my previous response to your wheel of choice, you should consider weight vs cornering performace, vs acceleration rate, and vs stopping force. These will all be dramatically affected by your wheel weight, how fast youre gonna wear down your brake pads/rotors, the fluidity of your corners, and how quick you are pretty much. Plain physics my friend, plain physics.

Hey I have Axis Pentas on my sedan 20X9 +40 all around and I paid 1200 for the rims only and about 500 on tires. The tires I used are Toyo Proxes 4. I suggest you check out the market place they have some decent rims and prices. Oh and my rims weigh about 26lbs each.
