Wheel poll

Hey guys, im thinking about getting some new wheels in a couple of months, and thought i'd start narrowing my options down in advance. I want 18s because i hear 19s slow your car down, and i also want a little bit more rubber in the back with a medium sized lip. Im looking to spend between $500-800 for the set of rims (4 wheels, not including tires). Here's what i've found so far, feel free to make recommendations...

TSW Bremmas


TSW Catalunyas


TSW Kyalamis


RUFF Racing (#1, dont know name)


RUFF Racing (#2)


RUFF Racing (#3)


ASA ST4

Feel free to suggest other options. This selection gives a pretty good idea of the look im going for so feel free to post more options! Thanks.

Also, does anyone know about the quality/durability of these brands? Any that might be more prone to bending than others?

I've had 18X8 SW's on my maxima and they bent kinda easily. Good thing is that they are cheap and you can keep replacing them.

As far as your poll, I like all the RUFF's....2,3 then 1 in order.

If you are looking for some good rims with a lip, try axis milano's...about $800-$900 a set for 19's staggered.

out of the ones you've posted I think the TSW Kyalamis. But I think the Axis Milanos are very nice as well.

Hey str8, where'd you get the price of $800-900 for the wheels? Do you know if they make them in 18s?

Just google it...or check ebay. Every week or so, a set of 19's go for about $800-$1000 from reputable sellers for 19's. Email them and ask if they have 18's..

Is that an offer?
If so, here's a good side pic, maybe someone could also paint my grey impact strips and orange signal black?

whoops, i realized i used a pic of your car before you lowered it. here's a picture using one after the shocks and springs. i think the first one gives a better idea though b/c the glare is smaller.
