New wheels?
 
I am going to put some new shoes on my ride and I was wondering if anyone has some good ideas of what their preference would be for brands and what is the best place to get good prices. I am leaning towards some Rota's. Anybody have some pics to show off their wheels? Thanks guys!

DPT, g-forces, gravel, torque are the ones I enjoy looking at

should specify your price range. you can get some enkei rpf1s for the price of rotas but depends on how much you want to spend and how big you want to go

You should get some Rota Revs 17X8. They are great, and I just happen to have them for sale!

Well, getting wheels is like saying what kind of shoes do you want to wear?

You can buy some generic brand, something middle of the road, or something hella expensive.

What will you be using for your car most of the time? (and be honest)
Will you be auto-crossing or doing track time with any type of frequency?
How much can you afford to throw at rims?
How many sets of rims do you want?

For my lifestyle, I went with Rota Grids and that was enough. Stock rims if I want a change of pace.

Up to you, your money, your decision!
Good luck with your plans...

BTW, I went with Dan at WheelDude. Great experience and service, and he got my special order rims in too!

Thanks for the inputs so far! I don't have a price limit for the wheels. It doesn't matter what they cost. I want something that looks good but I also want them to help with handling as well. I would eventually like to get in some track time but I honestly don't know how much. I am from Vacaville so I like to do lake Berryessa runs. Lots of twists and turns! I have seen wheeldude.com and that is where I was looking at the Rotas. I will give Dan a shout and see what he can do for me. Thanks again everyone for you inputs!

I am going with 18x8.5's for sure. If I want to go any bigger then I either have to role my fenders or beef up my suspension. I am not sure how far I am going with this car so I will stick with this size.

Volk CN28s... or do you have a budget?
