Wheels have to be the hardest mod to decide on a car. I went through 20 different wheels, then aggravated Paul (N4SM) for days over tire selection.

There were definitely wheels i liked better, but they were all 1k or more per wheel.
Yea I feel your pain I was the same way during the decision and now with waiting ha, Paul won't even talk to me anymore and took me out his top 8 in MySpace

really? I dont find it all that hard. Maybe im weird. What i found hard about it is finding wheels i like in proper offsets. I dont like to lower my car always, depends on the car and what its used for. Usually i dont lower more then an 1 inch drop If i do. I stick with 17s or 18s. I dont like the tire selection in 19s. Usually its for a drag car and running that thin of a sidewall is a big no.

My main issue was finding wheels that I liked within a decent price range. For instance, I was dead set on Volks until I found out there was a 5k dollar price tag...

Tire selections really do suck in 19". I'll have to go 325 wide on the back to get the tires I want, so until I can confirm fitment, I'm running NT05's in a 305.

Lol, nothing forged is cheap.

What's your style preference and price range?

Assuming you mean TSW. That's because TSW are a bigger company and they are VERY nicely priced for the quality and weight. One of the top bang for the buck wheels, just like Enkei. Forgestars are also competitively priced compared to others such as Vossens. For example, cast Vossen wheels cost more then forgestars which are flow formed.

Not sure what you are expecting, you are not going to get a high quality wheel for XXR prices.
