Default Where to buy wheels?

Seems aftermarket wheels that fit the V are hard to find. Where did you guys with aftermarket wheels buy them from? Links would be greatly appreciated.

got mine at 360 (locally)... a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for

http://www.360forged.com/

considering they're 3 piece forged wheels, i customized measurements for the most aggressive fitment possible, and the results speak for themselves...

do you have pictures on here somewhere of your wheels on the car? I was hoping to find some decent 18's since my tires still have 75% tread left.

Anyone figure out if Viper wheels will bolt on?

They have a 6x114.3 bolt pattern.

As mentioned by shadyLS6, I jumped on a set of the LC855s, staggered, in hyper black. They have to make 'em, first. Can't wait.

Dont forget that Lindsay Cadillac carries the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s And those are my favorite rims ever. A real honest to goodness racing wheel. Just no center caps...

I'm not sure if the sizing is the same, but has anyone put V2 wheels on a V1?

5 lug wheels don't fit too well on six lug hubs....

Haha shows you how much I looked into it! But yes, that would pose a bit of a problem. I think that style wheel would look good on the V1. They remind me of the wheels that some terminators have, and I have always liked them.

wheel gallery- this is the cheapest solution to an extra set of NEW wheels.. you can get a set of stockers well used-> rashed up for $800 with no tires




those KDWII in the pics have huge ugly sidewalls imo.+ they are frigging noisey at the end of their life.. im on SUMI- HTZIII now with a much more appealing sidewall

In a shameless display of self-interest, I have a set of decent stockers with tires up for sale for $850.

you'll probably be looking for a while as I was....

i certainly hope this doesn't stir the pot because that's not the intention, but as far as i've seen, there hasn't been a single 1 piece cast wheel advertised (let alone pictured on our cars) that looks good other than ferny's. i say this because there's only SO much design and aggressiveness you can get from a piece of iron.

i mean come on guys... yes, $800 is STUPID cheap for a set of wheels especially if you're just thinking of something for track use, but doesn't that tell you something about the quality? how are they going to look? i've had hondas with better quality wheels than that.

would you put a $150 (retail) wheel on your V2? i haven't seen a single one that isn't sitting on some classy 3 piece wheel, and i for one believe that should be the only thing our cars ride on. yes, they can get pricey, but there are many MANY wheel manufacturers that can offer something nice and competitive. a good example is a vossen forged wheel i just saw on a vette. guy paid a hair over $2,000 for the wheels and they're outstandingly sexy while also built to fit his vette and none other.

i'm willing to help considering there's a plethora of wheel manufacturers here in miami which i've acquainted with, let alone about 5 just in my zip code.

i just recently bought some of the Team Dynamics wheels. I had always read that they don't have centercaps, but mine came with some. Obligatory picture...
