Cant decide...

I really like the AME TM02 but its kind of expensive or should I just settle for RPF1 and use the other funds for performance mods?

Im looking to get 19x10 +22 still stock height though.

Looking to get after winter is over.

What would you guys do?

I would get whatever best fits your budget and needs. Both are good wheels..

The AME's are amazing wheels but are kind of pricey. If I had the money I would get the AMEs. You always see RPF1s now a days..

$2000? I don't really know what you mean..

RPF1s usually run around 1200-1500ish/set depending on size, color, and vendor..

AMEs if i remember right are around 2500-2800ish/set..

AMEs are really rare since they quit selling them here for a few years, so it's hard to find a used set.

If you really want them just save up another few months or whatever you need and get a set. It's always worth it to buy what you want the first time instead of buying something else because it is cheaper, because you will always want to upgrade..

Get the wheels you think look the best, even if it means saving up for a bit. I think the TM02s look great, especially colored. RPF1s are great too, but everybody has them, and I like being a bit different. That said, there's a reason everybody has them, they are light, strong, and cheaper than the alternatives.
