Talking Wheel brands

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a set of wheels for my car and I was wondering if any of you can provide me with a list of wheel companies that make high quality (or mid-level quality), racing inspired wheels I should be looking at. So far I've looked at 5Zigen, Enkei and Motegi. Are these brands any good? Are there better?

Thanks in advance!

-Russ

P.S. I've also looked at Gram Lights 57 series and I really like their design.

Re: Wheel brands

I love 5Zigens, the Hyper and Copse are their best, IMO.

Rota (if you're on a budget)

I run Motegi rims on my car, I love them.. I think they look great. If you want a true lightweight racing inspired rim, go with Volk.


Shpyder- those 5Zigen Copse's look great, I almost bought a pair but I found out they were discontinued.

Re: Wheel brands

Thanks guys! Can any of you comment on Enkei and 5Zigen quality? (I like the wheel designs of these two companies)
Also, I just noticed that Volk Racing and Gram Lights seem to be made by the same company - Rays Wheels. Is it safe to assume that these two brands are of the same quality? I really like the look of Gram Lights.

Thanks again!

P.S. Some links to images of the wheels I like:

I got Volk Racing on my G35 Coupe and the quality is up there. I got them from Kronen Autosports in Artesia, CA. I think that they also carry 5Zigen and Motegi but I have not had any experiences with those wheels.
