Help with selecting wheels

I have OEM 20inch wheels which I'd like to set aside. Been looking for some aftermarkets and wasn't sure if there was a general consesus on where to and where not to purchase wheels from.

Whatever you choose, just make sure you select the offsets that does not deviate a lot from the factory specs, otherwise, your new wheels could have rubbing issue.

I recommend Vivid Racing, just got a set of BC Forged from them and fitment is perfect.

Stock size with additional offset (+15mm front, +12mm rear) looks aggressive, no spacers to deal with, and fits without rubbing.

As to who to buy from - there are many, many wheel companies and no one has experience with them all so no one can give you a definitive answer. Depends on the style/construction you want. Find that and then research the vendor. Know that there are many vendors that don't actually make their wheels, they just have them made from a manufacturer.

Also are you looking mainly at looks, or strength, or weight savings, or a combination?

I want someone to get these and report back

Those are some great looking lightweight CF wheels. Not that I would spend that much on wheels myself, but $16K-$20K is not a bad price for 2-piece carbon fiber wheels.

On the full CF ones I wonder how well the resin on the lips hold up after multiple tire changes.

I got my last set of Vossens through Fitment Industries (with mounted tires) and I had no issues, came fairly quickly and strapped on a pallet.
