Need Opinions/Buying wheels
Hey Fellas, I'm hoping to get some opinions as I'm going crazy trying to figure out what wheels to get. I have gone back and forth with many styles. Currently I am on these two. I like the price point and they are flow form wheels which is a little better than cast. Both will be 19 inch staggered 8.5 and 9.5. I believ the AFF02 may be a 10 inch rear. EIther way they are supposed to fit our cars. Here are some pics.

My car looks like this except I have red brakes(P31) I also will be wrapping my roof black and adding carbon bits later.
Being that your car is silver, would you consider the silver variant of the Ace Convex wheel? Personally, I love the look of silver wheels on silver car. Also, I prefer the Convex over the AFF02. The AFF02 wheel gives me a Viper SRT10 vibe.

I see what your saying. I kind of want something with some contrast. I'm not sure I will take another look at the silver convex's. Although the design looks similar to the viper, the AFF02 I feel has very different lines and contours. I have seen the gunmetal color on silver c63's and it does appeal to me.
Not sure if you've considered it, but a forum member recently had a set of 507 black wheels for sale, with tires at a super price. I'm sure it's still listed, this was only a couple weeks ago. In my opinion, those would look a lot nicer.
For the Holidays HRE's entire FlowForm series is on sale. FF04's are 20% off || FF01's are 30% off || FF15's are 40% off. Check them all out below and give us a call if you're interested in learning more:

Thanks Guys. I didn’t know HRE were on sale. I like the FF01 in gunmetal but that seems to not be a standard color. Even then they are a bit more that I was planning to spend. Thinking if I should stretch my budget? The 507 wheels don’t seem to be available anymore but of course I’d love those!
two other wheels I was considering we’re the niche m130 dark tinted and the Avant Garde m580 dark tint. I will post some pics soon. Out of these 4 wheels presuming I don’t stretch myself for the HRE’s. Which do you feel is a good secondary option?
Wheels are not something to skimp on IMO. At a minimum, a quality flow formed wheel should be used for a car as heavy as ours. And if you bend a cheap wheel, it costs more in the long run. Spend a little more now for safety and peace of mind. Niche and AG are pretty much disposable wheels IMO. And I haven’t even heard of the brands in your original post. HREs for basically $1400 (FF15s) is INSANE!

I agree wheels are not a area to skimp. I have heard a lot of people in here running niche. I know they are not a super nice wheel but they are not chinese knockoffs either. The other brands are flow form so I would think they are not too bad. I am rethinking waiting another week or two and maybe I will do HRE or see what pops up in the classifieds. Im doing a few other things with the car as well so Its not urgent I get wheels right away. BTW the niche m130 looks really good on this car IMO. Just too many wheel choices out there! I feel Im going a little crazy making a decision.
