Once I read the title I thought this thread would be either yours, nicos or leapers. Btw don't get rims unless you have money to burn, when you go to re sell your car, you won't get that value back. And I personally think most aftermarket rims look ugly unless you get really lucky with a set. Get some subs instead

Wait, you're joking, right? You think new wheels are a waste of money and then suggest subs? Aftermarket car audio systems are the biggest fucking waste of money ever. Who needs to listen to music so loud it shakes the car, and the car behind them?

Ahha, sarcasm. I'm just low on cash, so anything to do with extra money on my car is pretty much burning it. (2002 BMW 325xi) unless you're a DJ or have money to blow then don't get subs.

Prima Donna Look Alikes*




but seriously what type are you into- full faced wheel, mutli spoke, 5 spoke, concave,


and the final determining factor is cost

whats your budget

not trying to put a damper on anyones day here but these are going to cost 1500 a piece- 6k for wheels isnt exactly cheap.


Here is a basic overview. When looking at wheels you need to look at cost, size, intended use, as well as styling.

Forged wheels regardless of 3 piece or not are usually going to go for over $800 a piece brand new. Forged wheels are much stronger, usually lighter, and in most cases are a finer product since they take more time to make, whereas a cast wheel is a much cheaper option with wheels ranging from 250-500 a wheel.

Rotiform Cast BLQ- $300 a piece

Rotiform Forged BLQ- $1250 a piece

Click for larger image

the reason is the fact that Rotiform gets all of their cast wheels manufactured in China and then shipped over at an extremely cheap rate. Whereas each forged or 3 piece wheel is hand built using a much more expensive process. However these wheels are much stronger, lighter, and have a higher quality of finish to them.


Determine what style of wheel you like, and what cost you can cope with.

Personally I love HRE Wheels- but cant shell out $6k for wheels when I would rather begin the process of single turbo'ing my car.

just go to tirerack.com and pick out what you like.

no real point in shelling out a lot of $$ for "good" wheels for an a3 really.
