Been looking for a set of rims for my evo 8 currently running Koenig hypergrams 18x9.5 +22.
I want the same size so I can just put my tires on the new rims. Plus I think the fitment and how it drives is perfect. I can’t seem to find anyone that sells medium quality wheels with my specs. I really like cosmis racing, they have a lot of the styles I’m looking for but they only have 10mm offset. The esrs and gram lights just seem like a bad idea to me. They seem really cheap and don’t have a lot of info about them. Here a couple styles I think look good so you can give me some good recommendations ! Please and thank you
Note that the TE37 design was optimized for forging, not casting. To achieve a similar strength with a cast TE37 replica, the wheel requires excess material and this results in a rather heavy wheel. This is not my opinion, rather this comes from an engineer friend in the industry who makes wheels. In the process of designing his own wheels, he analyzed many designs from others.
I believe there are some decent wheels available in the lower cost segment, and the Konigs seem to hold up pretty well. I don't have any data to support that beyond that I know some people who beat them up at the track with good results. I don't really know much about the Cosmis.
The Gram Lights and Volk Racing brands mentioned earlier are great choices, and their quality is really pretty tough to beat. There are other good brands in that price segment too.
