If you want the best looking rim out, imo I would go with the veilside andrew evolution v's There the sickest looking rim I've ever seen. Since price doesnt matter to you, thats what I would go with.

Check out " SickG35 " new shoes ( Volk sf winnings ), should help in your choice, looks great in black. Sucks for me, he's also in San Diego, so there goes my choice in a black G.

Yea "sickg35" has the sickest volks ive seen, those rims are crazy. Get the Volk SF-Winning's... Pretty much all of them are nice, are you looking for a lightweight 19' rim? Does performance matter? Things you might wanna look out for if your looking into performance. Martin

Re: Help on Wheel Choice PLZ !!!!!

Basically i looked and decide to get between these 4.
1. Volk GT-C
2. Volk Progressive
3. ADR Sterling
4. IForged Evo

I would like to get them in 20's any suggestions? or 19's with progressive.

Do i have to go with 19's if i want a performance as same as stock 18's that i have right now?
What is the lightest wheels in those 4 options anyone know?

"I really like to have a car that looks like a racing car"

Do you want it to look like a racing car to people who know about cars and racing, or to people that bust rhymes and hang out at the Gas n Sip on Friday nights or young girls whos favorite show is Real World? (sorry for the hyperbole, I'm just teasing! )

If you're getting 20s don't worry about performance because you'll be losing it, I don't care what they weigh. Serious racers choose the lightest wheel possible for their traction application and get the weight as close to the axle as possble.

The lightest I've seen in 19"s are the Nismo at around 19 pounds and the Volk LE or TE (can't remember) or the Volk CE which come in in the high 19 pound range for 19"s.

Of course a 20 pound 19" will still drag you down more than a 22 pound 18". Keep that in mind (outer perimeter mass bad, inner perimeter mass ok). If you want maximum performance without sacrifice you should stick with the 18" or even go down to 17s.

If you're looking for a compromise and want to stay at least where you perform now, you need a 19" in the 19 pound realm, IMO. Then, make sure you stick with a light tire such as the Pilots or the Toyo Proxes (assuming you have more grip than power, which you will if you have the 5AT).

Avoid anything chrome, it won't be light. Look for 1 piece forged and there are a few 2 piece that are light....check out SSR, Volk, Nismo, Gram Light and some of the Racing Harts.

Re: Help on Wheel Choice PLZ !!!!!

20" = looks...so please stop mentioning performance...As was previously stated, if your looking for bigger wheels with "performance" still in mind, your options are limited...There are some nice 19's out there, that will keep similar performance...But I don't know of any 20's that will...sorry

No problem bro, I'd look into Volk, Racing Hart, and if you really want a light 19" wheel then Nismo...Volks are the best combination of looks and performance in my mind...G' luck

Re: Help on Wheel Choice PLZ !!!!!

Those are all good choices...Of those 3 I'd personally go with the Progressive Spoke or the SF Challenge...The GT-C's spokes are to wide for my taste, but nonetheless still a nice looking wheel...G'luck with your decision...
