cheap wheels

[Most_Wanted]

Your asking why one would swap out for different/aftermarket wheels?


My tires will need replacing soon. Been looking for a lightweight set of 17's w/ at least 8/9 widths. I'd buy some RPF1's if they came in a 5x130. Hoping something comes soon. Really want to replace the "recommended tire" A/S the previous owner installed with summer lower tread score being in California.

Those OZ's are nice btw.

I know, hardly anyone makes 17" 5x130 wheels, and none of them are affordable, relative the all the wheels that are available for other cars...

There is a newish company called Titan 7 that is making forged wheels, for supposedly European and German cars, but searching around it is the same cars as everybody else but no 5x130. They are still in development so maybe they will come up with something.

I hear that. I really want to stay away from using a 5x114.3 adapter but find myself considering it & then ignoring the thought. Safety concerns & I get OCD about adding additional unsprung mass or just weight in general. Added $$$ of 18's tires sway me away too. Shoot, I'd go 16's if it weren't for the S brakes/rear toe arm.
