Best Rims for Under 1,500?

**kdn0789** · 09-01-2016 08:49 AM

Looking for something to offset my white B8.5 Glacier White Audi S4..... Like gunmetal or black. Was looking at some VMR V710 gunmetal or some AG M310 machined gunmetal (or black). What do you guys think between the two or what are your suggestions? Liking this look. I wanted some AG M590 but I would have to powder coat them and don't really wanna spend more money....

Check classifieds. Nice rims are mostly over $2000 new.

**Audibot** · 09-01-2016 08:58 AM

Wheels, people. Wheels. The rim is only part of the wheel, which would be the outer edge. Like the rim of a bowl.

The always nice TSW Bathurst's in Gunmetal would look nice and can be had for under 1500 new

I was looking at some Bathurst's too! They look pretty nice! But was looking for something more like the 310 and v710 style.

Been looking all the time but it's hard finding someone around me cause I rather do a local pickup.

**MacFady** · 09-01-2016 09:29 AM

There are some well priced wheels in the classifieds right now that might suit.

That's very unlucky. I picked up my 20x9 CH-R with no curb damage whatsoever for $1200. It was a steal.

**fitzydude** · 09-01-2016 09:51 AM

I think the Renn RS-51's are the best bang for the buck

Around 20lbs and flow formed

I have niche misano 20x10"and get compliments almost daily. I love them, not light weight though.

the euro mess style you're looking for, under budget, color you requested AND they are rotary forged

Can't see! Just brings to a shopping car that's empty.

**pudmyers** · 09-01-2016 10:41 AM

I went with the Verde Axis, a little darker in person then the pictures lead on... but I'm loving them...

Thank you! Came in here to make a smart remark like "$1500 is a lot for just the rims.....you could probably get the entire set of wheels for that!"
Keep on fighting the good fight.

In the vein of being helpful, most of the Avant Garde and VMR cast wheels, which are very popular here and come in a variety of styles and fitments, can be had for $1200.

**XxSullyxX123** · 09-01-2016 10:49 AM

I like my AG wheels. Been solid thus far for $300 per wheel (pre tire obviously) Wanted satin silver, so it worked out versus going their bespoke route which I believe is like $467 a wheel or something.

i got myself a VMR V710 in matte black.. i wanted gunmetal but VMR themselves ran out of it and didnt know when they would have it back in stock Everything said and done, it was shipped to me for ~$1000. I like it.. i made a thread for it and all and have pics in it right here

I was thinking about getting black but seems like it's hard to see the details from a little ways away.

I have a set of VERTINI RF1.1 20x9 in candy red if you're interested. I'm close to selling my car so these need to go.

**SportVier** · 09-01-2016 11:44 AM

Neuspeeeds are all flow formed and have a pretty low weight-to-price ratio. I think their 19s are all <=20lbs. You can definitely get a set for under $1500. They also take OEM center caps.

If you like the VMR710, you might like the Rse14. (You might actually like it more. I do.

)

**kdn0789** · 09-01-2016 12:16 PM

Those RSE14 look nice!! And they are lighter than VMR! Will put those on the list! Thanks!

The matte bronze could work with white. Wouldn't mind seeing what they look like on a black car.

**bhvrdr** · 09-01-2016 12:42 PM

I'll second the recommendation for the Nurburgring then if you are looking at that style of wheel.

The finish is nice and they are pretty light wheels too.

God I hate the word "rims"

Yeah, I hear a lot of good things about TSW wheels!

VMR or TSW will give you a very light wheel for the price.

If you're looking for gunmetal, the VMR V710 is a great option. You can go with the 19x9.5 width to maximize concavity. No fitment or rubbing issues with a 255/35/19 tire. Example shown of the same fitment in silver.

**EHesh14** · 09-01-2016 02:45 PM

Don't. Buy. Forgestars. Have had 2 crack within 3 months, but Colorado roads don't help. Took 3 months for one wheel to be delivered to my house unpowdercoated (took it somewhere to match my others in satin silver)

Venting/

Going with some 19 BBS CHR's in the future

**eurotic** · 09-01-2016 03:23 PM

The TSW Nurburgring's also come in matte gunmetal I believe in 19x9.5 ET41.

Yeah Steve. You know I'm envious of your wheels. Nice concave wheels. Looks purrrty. Lol
