Default Yet another, "help me with wheels" thread

LOL, need some help folks. I'm really not that good with picking wheels... I always get buyers remorse.

Fairly set on Forgeline's... although I'm sure I could be persuaded.

I'm thinking gunmetal centers with a brushed lip.

Thoughts?




On this car.




Or maybe a frosted look... I have no clue!!



I have narrowed it down... (sorta) to this wheel

That it will.... plus the subframe and brakes... the thing is going to have a new stance and be more aggressive

Hey Max - I was in the same boat just a short time ago. The De3s (in a step lip) would look awesome and really open up the wheel well, but they only come in 19s and up. I wanted 18 max on the front so that left me w the Wc3s.

Not really a bad decision to be made here as they're both good choices, but I would also go with the polished lip on that pretty blue...

Glad to hear your going with Forgelines.
I wanted to be sure you have seen one of our newest designs, the GX3

Available 18", 19" and 20" blind bolt and I-beam spokes.
Like all of our wheels it can be built to your specs and finished any color that you like.

Please let me know if I can assist you in any way.

Killer looking wheel. That wheel will look killer on your car.
I would go gun metal grey centers. Good luck!
