best/affordable wheels

[XM_Rocks]

There is no “best” anything.

This is in the wrong subforum and there are dozens of wheel threads in the proper subforum.

Search, please.

I've been happy with the Sparco's I got from TR and look great on my white GTI. Under $200 a wheel in 18". I liked them so much I bought a set of 17" for winters.

I've been looking at these as well. Would you kindly posting some pictures of them?

Just had the wheels mounted...here are those pictures.

I love my dark 18s not really inclined to trade ride quality for aesthetics
too much rim make the ride too hard
And to answer the OP - anything from the Konig FF line is awesome. Top quality and affordable.

Reviving this real quick. I can't seem to find how much the ampliforms in 18x8.5 weigh. Do you happen to know?

As someone looking into this as well im def going with 18x8.5 weight is good for konigs and price per wheel is under 230 which is good. I did read before that someone is having an issue with center bore, OEM is 57.1? these show 66, so that means these have a bigger bore and would require a larger hubcentric ring? So when I get that get aluminum?


Weight :
AM88512436 18×8.5 5×112 43 DARK METALLIC GRAPHITE 66.6 FLOW FORMED projected 18.62 <<<<
AM88512438 18×8.5 5×112 43 GLOSS BRONZE 66.6 FLOW FORMED projected 18.62 <<<<

Edit: im kinda stuck between hypergram, rennform, ampliforms are nice too

Sweet thanks for the info. I love the design of the ampliforms, RSe12, VMR 710. But the ampliforms come in the best color imo and you just confirmed they are much lighter than the VMR (25 lbs) and cheaper than the RSe12. I'm sure there would be some type of hub centric ring that would work.

I like the Neuspeed RSe10's? and some of them but it looks like they are like 300 a wheel which is too much for something i dont really need ya know. VMR isn't bad saw them on moddedeuros for 210 a wheel but looks like they weight is high. Konig seems to be the "best" for price, weight, style. I do love the hyper black color, i need to find a konig wheel that has that if any, im also kinda struck between getting broze as that would be cool on CSG but idn man lol

Picked up a set of alzor 040
18x8 et35
225/40 18
Stock suspension

Great deal on ECS.No rubbing issues what so ever. Very confident in lowering it and rolling fenders. The fitment doesn't poke outside the fender. Hit massive potholes ( New York roads ) and lot of interstate driving , and the quality is very good. No dents or issues with balancing .

Am I Missing something? Ecs is saying these wont fit my car.

Seems like only the center bore is off. Should fit with the proper hub ring, but it is kind of strange they don't just suggest the ring themselves.

Or et35.

et43-et52 is the safer fitment.

 

[NopeR]

That offset is fine with a 225/40 tire, even slammed. Just needs a screw mod or camber mounts up front..

 

[toothofwar]

Hmmm, I just got my 235/40 indys a couple k's ago. Might search for something a little more conservative.

I have a 35 fitment and there is no issues even I will lower it because it doesn’t stick out

The plastic hub rings that came are perfect
