I think I want new wheels...

[jtfx6552]

Generally,I don't bother with aftermarket wheels, I usually choose to spend on go fast parts.

I like the look of the PP wheels, but damn they suck to clean. Looking for something that looks great, but isn't to complex so I can wipe 'em down quick.

I always wanted a car with ronal R9s, or the look alike American racing version that used to be on Saleens, so I started looking. I found a bunch of 5 spokes I like. I also always liked the 7 spoke wheels Ford of Europe used to use, so I found some of those too.

Anyway, the versions I like best so far are from the same company, Vossen.

The have a few pictures on their site, but don't mention the tires sizes.

Heres the 5 spoke on a 12 GT500, 20 x9 and 20 x 10.5

The 7 spoke they have on a Boss:

They do have both wheels in a 19, not sure if it has the correct offset for the front?

Looking at Tires, a quick search I haven't been able to find exactly what sizes I would want in a tire that I would want.

What have you guys seen or tried?

I'm running True Forged and could not be more pleased with my choice. Check them out.

Which wheels, and what sizes? Did you out the factory tires back on?

looking all the pictures i like the 7 spokes better but i also noticed the cars are lowered which always makes the rims look good...is your car lowered or do you plan on lowering it? from everything that i have read my OEM tires are gone the day i get my car...

Yeah, I'm leaning 7 spoke. I think I like that they look like an OEM wheel. I wasn't planning to lower, and you bring up a good point. I wonder how much those cars are lowered?

I love the concavity of the two wheels you posted, either one would be sick.

Damn, I love those wheels, but more research reveals they are a "low pressure" casting. Not sure I need to worry about that as I think some high end cars use that process including some Porches.

I guess a low pressure cast needs more material and weight to be as strong as a forging. Still I have enough doubt that I think I'm gonna hold off for now. I wish someone had this exact look of the posted 7 spoke in a forging (hint hint)
