I've been browsing the forums for months looking at pictures trying to figure out what wheel I would like to go with. and I've narrowed it down to 3 different ones. My plans for the future are a JDM evo 9 rear bumper and probably a gialla front bumper.

all three with aggressive offsets and 18inch diameter and looking for 9-9.5 width:

1. Volk te37 - can't really go wrong there I guess but very pricey
2. Advan RGII - A very good looking all around wheel
3. Rota P45r - I like the looks a lot but I dont know if there would be quality issues (good price)

Ya'll have any insite into this??? Are the volks really worth the extra money. and are the rota's quality good enough???
I know its ultimately up to what I think looks best. I just wanted ya'lls opinion on these wheels
also any pics that ya'll have I'd love to see them. My car is silver, but would love to see any of these wheels on any color of car.

 

i don't think you should run Rota on a 30g car, i like the Te37 alot, never liked the RgII. my pick goes to the TE37

 

i have P45R and won't look back. They look absolutely sick for the price. Quality is very good. People have used it at the track time and time again with no issues. Got mine brand new with 265 tires for 1700 shipped.

rota's are really heavy, but cheap. Consider Gramlights 57 Maximum, much cheaper than the Volks ~1k cheaper and more available. <--- They have it in Time Attack color too.

 

yeah they really do look good. I like them almost as much as the volk te37's in some of those photos to be honest. what kinda offset are you running???

 

they heavier than the stock rims??? I'll take a look at those gramlights. never seen them before

 

much heavier, at least 2lbs more. Correct me if im wrong.

 

You could also go with CE28N or Gravity Gullflames in a +22 offset.

 

Yeah I don't particularly want a heavier wheel. But the main issue I'm considering is looks I guess. I'm not even sure how much that really effects performance (I'm sure it does some). But I guess I'm just focusing on looks mostly when dealing with wheels.

 

I've never really been into the Volk CE28N's (don't know why). I guess I like for there to be wider spokes than the CE28 has. Even though I like the Advan RGII and it has kinda thin spokes. The Gravity Gullflames looks really good though. Never seen that wheel until now when I looked it up. good suggestion

 

Cool, I really like the Gullflames but they don't do them in Gunmetal or Black! I am probably going to go with TE37 in either black or titanium gunmetal with +22 offset for my big project car.

 

Yeah gunmetal is probably the color that I'm looking for.

 

my wheels each weigh 22lbs. I installed coilovers at the same time and that saved me over 30lbs over the stock supension. 2lbs. of extra weight you're not going to feel a diffrence unless you track it every weekend. Plus I have 300 to the wheels so I don't feel 2lbs of difference at all. My offset is 30 with 8mm in the front.

 

My choice would be in the order you listed them …

The TEs would have to be at least +22 offset to look ****.


Advans. Not sure of the owner…


Rotas.


Here's another wheel I'd consider for looks. They'd look bad-*** on silver.

 

Volk's are always worth the money... Very strong and light wheel.. not to mention there gorgeous... the TE's would look awesome IMHO
