I'm a big fan of "original" wheels...not knock offs. I feel more comfortable knowing it's not some Chinese POS construction.

I'm also a big fan of light-weight wheels. If you go "big," you add LOTS of weight to your car....rotating, unsprung weight. Tougher turning, stopping and most important, accelerating!

While I do like most of the styles shown here, I can't bring myself to add that much weight to my stock car. I'm holding out for some Roush Trak Pak wheels. A sensible 18" wheel...forged (strong/light), and black.

Nice cars shown, though!

+1 Holy crap do the Roush Forged rims look sexy in Black Chrome! Seen the latest Blackjack editions?

I went with a staggered deep dish setup using a not yet "over used" wheel for mine. Yes, Rev Wheel is Chinese made and the polished lip took one helluva beating from last winters road chemicals, but it looks very good IMO! Months ago, I was debating changing to something different, but decided to keep the Cobra 340SC! I got my new 29.2" Dunlop SP 9000 mounted on the 18x10s last week. Supposed to mount them on a buddy's Stang tomorrow to check the fit.

Wearing the 28.3" rear Nitto (same as Dark)


Same wheel now wearing the 29.2" Dunlop SP 9000
