Wheels...
Are such a royal PITA to shop for.
Too many different styles, and then too many choices when you choose a style...
What made you choose the wheels you have? Quality? Aesthetics? Weight? Durability? Drag use? Value?

I think your wheels look great. thinking about making a change? I was lucky to buy my car with the sl65 wheels but seeing all the awesome rides on here makes me want to make a change not to mention save a little weight.

I have some monarchs atm but I'm getting bored with the look. I've had my eye on these for a while http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-LM-Wheels...item43acc2b603

I couldn't agree more. So many options with pricing and offset and sizes... all of which are so hard to find the actual numbers for. ..PITA

What do you all think about running a 20" forgestar F10s
They weigh about the same as stock, and you don't see a lot of E's running them

Wheels were straight as an arrow. A few friends who are wheel fiends suggested that's common on welded 2 piece wheels such as the DPEs he had

I agree it can be a ROYAL PITA, if you know your budget that helps to narrow things down ALOT. Also the type of style you want, purpose you want to use them for, ect. Good luck, any help I can give I will.
