'18 Flik Artic

[vw Neo]

These are the rims I plan on getting along with Toyo Proxes T1s but I have heard one guy say that he did not like these rims and that they are too heavy(22 lbs.) so he got BBSs instead. I can't find similiar style BBSs so maybe you guys can help or offer a rebuttal to the complaint about the Fliks.

I like the wasps alot. But I have heard they are look cheap is person. They are diff. inexpensive.

22 for 18s is not really bad...

[madcap]

wheels are one area where you really get what you pay for.

if they are cheap, there is a reason.

but 22lbs is not all that heavy for a 18" wheel. I've seen heavier.

Isn't your car indigo Blue?

[vw Neo]

um, yeah, that isn't my car. But it gives you a rough idea

[ImStillMikeVR6]

hell yeah - i really like em. I think it will flow well with indigo blue.
As far as weight goes: The 18" BBS RCs that come on the GLI/337 weigh about 22lbs.

I have the 18" Flik Wasp's for auto-X. Seems most peeps like the way they look. They are about 1 lb heavier than the BBS on my 337, but so far they have been bomb proof. Even with an "off" into the woods. Can't beat the price.

Just bought a set of the new Dunlop Sport R compounds for next season, great price. $127 each at the Tirerack. Jason Blitz was running them at the last Auto-X in the M-coupe. The Kumho's are like $190 each, ouch.

$1,200 for the set with the Toyo's is a good price.

I thought so too, thanks for the comments peeps! :thumbsup:
