Andrew had these RGR's.. he got the middle part painted.. I guess you could do the same once you find the rims you want...

nice nice, that 2nd set is of pics are nasty... god damn... i like that i didn t like them at 1st but now that i see them on it, its sick

check out the RS-GT. IIRC they are a 2 piece, then you could get the inside powder coated. also, if u have bank to put down, DTM kreuz.

http://www.dtmautohaus.com/html/kreuz.html the top are the 3 piece, and the bottom are the 2 piece. all nice rims, and lots of dif selctions. They allow u to purcahse the wheel already powder coated, so it' going to be a good job. also, if u ding hte lip, u can order replacements, or you have the benefit of having an easier repair.

i like the AXIS REVERB a lot

[mk4gtiboy]

and yes the wheels i like are the BBS RCs, i like the BBS RC or RGR or something similar in bronze, black, or gunmetal, or the AXIS REVERB or HIRO or MESH 2or SUPERMECH, in gold, black or gunmetal. but im wondering if i would need a lot of drop to make them look good, or is 1.2" good enough or should i go for 2 inchs??? cause i go with a lil wider wheel it would look weird it its a lil high
but also i would need to sell my stock wheels, for a good price too 1st of all

[MrBlueVr6]

IIRC, Axis=heavy as shit. just what ive been told....

Did you guys forget about Fikse (check out www.fikse.com)

[MrBlueVr6]

we would have never forgotten about fikse. :) i mean we still avhe to think Kinesis aswell.

they are just a TON of money, and most of us can't afford it, so hte market would be Ibid and....well that'd be it :) I'd buy some Fikse, but as much per rims as i would go would be 500.

Fikse wheels are one of hte hottest wheels out there. ;)

...don't even get me started on their lack of customer service!!!


...lets just say that if all is good with your order (and you got it in a timely manner).. then all is rosy.. but god forbid there is a problem :(

...and stay away from using their supplied freebee aftermarket bolts! They are too short and there have been people who lost their wheels drivinig down the street because of it but edgeracing refuses to admit their mistake or take any responsibility... it's only a matter of time before some sues them for supplying too short of bolts :(


..unless they cleaned up their act and started supplyinig proper sized cone seat bolts? (if they are shorter than the stock ball seat, then they have NOT)
