wheel help!

wheel help!

this is a slight continuation of my FINALLY! thread.

i need your help, vvt-i. i need to find another set of wheels.

this is what i currently have:


i'd like something similar, preferably rivetless. trying to stick to either 15" or 16", and obviously 4x100 since my Corolla is pre-2003. here's the kicker...i'd also like them to be relatively lightweight and not cost me an arm and a leg...and i want to stick with silver (no chrome, black, gunmetal, blah).

i'm going to be shopping when i can nab a few minutes online, but ANY input from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

...and if someone can find a reputable source for TRD wheels, i will send you e-humps aplenty.


you have your mission. please help! gogogo!

those aren't too bad...do they have them in silver 16"? i haven't checked out their site yet...heh

hmm.

so i went through tirerack.com, and found these.

ASA JS-5
Bold and sporty 5-spoke design(thick spokes are win)
Deep, aggressive lip area (i LIKE lip. a lot)
Appearance enhancing rivets add a 2-piece look(meh. i can live with or without these. they're just annoying to clean)
Fully covered lug area



opinions on the brand?

So does that mean that I'm getting the wheels soon?

I had ASA and they are made by a Korean company that licenses the BBS designs. They are not cheaply made in that they use a different casting method wich makes the wheel stronger and more lightweight. They are not the best either, but middle of the road.

The last rims I had were made by ASA and were by far the most durable. Many times I fell in potholes that I thought for sure I had bent a rim just to get out of the car and discover that they were perfect both inside and out.

I give thumbs up for this brand.

awesome.

looks like i'll be getting them unless someone finds me a better deal.

I was going to eventually buy these wheels when I first got the rolla but I don't even remember why I didn't. ASA is a good wheel brand, my friend has some mesh ones in his Honda and they're pretty sweet looking and pretty good quality cause there's barely any fade on the finish after he has had them for 3 years (no he hasn't refinished them or anything, just basic cleaning and protection) but just minor scratches from daily driving but about it, they still look like new though

Yes, and TireRack has the best customer service, maybe not the best prices, but top notch on customer service.

yes...they got my tires to me QUICKLY the last time i ordered through them.

Advan RCII?

rotas

www.subydude.com

why no rotas? gotta be a purist and get the authentics?

TRD Sports T3

yup, Rays Engineering = mad p1mpness.
they make rims for just about every factory aftermarket tuning company in japan; TRD, STi, Mazdaspeed, Nismo..

hmm...i'll check out RAY's. thanks

for some reason, Rota never appealed to me.
