well lugs nuts are what hold the wheel in place, wheel locks essentially do the same but provide the security

So, the insurance is taking good care of me. $6674

I am looking for an easy process to get wheels to my mechanic. I have been looking at Tirerack.com. What is a good aftermarket rim that offers the same look as my previous (profile, etc). Also, what does "offset" mean? I see they have Volk, which people have reccomended.

Not sure what that means. The big companies that Tire-Rack seems to have are Volk, OZ, Enki, Rays, and BBS.

If i wanted to go a little cheaper on rims, i could save some money. Enki seems to be priced much lower than the rest. Are they still a good rim?

Yep, you wouldn't believe the weight savings...

Pretty pricey, though!

Those seem pricey! (couldn't get the pricing link to work.

I like Tirerack.com, because i can get wheels, tires, and sensor all from the same place...already ready already......

I just noticed that OZ makes a 20" rim. What do you guys think of these?

That sucks. Search the market place to see what you can find.

No offense but when it comes to wheels, tirerack isnt the best spot to buy from. They either have a poor selection or the pricing is too high compared to what you can find the same wheels for at other places. For tires, they do have good pricing and service though.

Have the Insurance cut you a check for 6k. Spend half on wheels and use the rest for other mods on the car.

Damn, the insurance cut you a check for your oems?, OR did you have some customer rims but stated you had oems and they cut you the check?, How does that work?
