wheel brands: legit or knock-offs

there are only so many designs that you can do with a wheel...so therefore, most wheels will have a similar design with another brand...the big difference is the process of making each wheel. People often say volk, work, bbs, iforged, for a reason...not all cast/forged wheels are made the same. The process is what makes the final product different from a cheap wheel and a great wheel. Basically, it's cliche, but you get what you pay for.

enkei, probably one of the best wheels for the money in terms of performance/cost/styling

why replace your 18s w/ another set of 18s the same size? seems like a waste of money.

I would go with 19's or 20's. 18's would look way too small IMO.

then in that case, I suggest waiting to buy wheels until its time to buy tires
