imo, the volks are the best all around, get them in a 18x9.5 w/ crazy offset they are sick.

i have personally seen a case of rota wheels falling apart (the spokes shot out of the round part while driving on the street). i personally wouldnt trust them

I think Work has some nice, fairly cheap, and light wheels. Like all of you I was all about getting my wheels in 18x9.5 +20 but I drive my car everyday and didn't want to roll the fenders or worry about aggressive camber or rubbing. I ended up going with 18x8.5 + 30 and I think it is the perfect size for a good mix between performance, looks, and daily driving. The Emotion line is nice but I really wish I could have afforded the VS-XX with a dark gunmetal center and polished lip.

I just wish the RGII came in gunmetal. I purchased the Advan RS rims and have 255/35/18 tires on them. I shaved the rears and they don't even come close to rubbing. To be honest, I probably could have gotten away with without even shaving the rears.

Advans are a great looking rim. Top notch quality. I love Volks too, but they are way more expensive.

Nope. You need to make sure they are balanced correctly and that you have hubcentric rings if required. Don't take them to some crappy tire place to be balanced. They have to be ground force balanced (i think that's what it's call). Its more expensive but worth it.

I do notice when I don't drive my evo for a few days, that soon as i get on the highway, it vibrates for a few minutes slightly until they warm up. I mean a slighty shimmy in the steering wheel and only for like 3-4 minutes. Probably cause it's been cold out and tires are sitting still in the garage for a few days.

Te37s are my dream wheels, but around $850 a wheel is a bit steep.

go with TE37s w/ aggressive offset +22 or lower and you will be set. But the only problem I see w/ Rays wheels in this type of offset is - TIME! you will be waiting for at least 6-9 weeks upon ordering.

ADVAN wheels are usually in stock and of course they look nice as hell w/ the GTR face

I'm a big fan of the RGIIs. Can't go wrong with Advan wheels.
