how often u change wheels?

[ROIDMONKEY]

Man i got this work equip i have now not even 3 months a go and i already want new wheels ? wtf?
how often u changes wheels/buy new one's?
Like i want some SSR TYPE C-RS or SP1

[sfljdmej2]

ive had my Onis for about a mounth and i want new wheels already i hate that

[2iv0 sx]

I want new wheels everyday

but I got what I like right now so I'll be good for a LONG while, maybe.

[SoSideways]

Idealy, I'd have 3 sets of wheels, maybe 4, then I can switch them out as often as I'd like.

[ZenkitonS14]

Wheels are the hardest thing to buy for a car. I dont know anyone who has only bought one set of wheels and was happy with em forever. Usually it takes a few sets to finally find a set that makes you step back and say, DAAAAAYUMMM!

[ROIDMONKEY]

Idealy, I'd have 3 sets of wheels, maybe 4, then I can switch them out as often as I'd like.
fuck yeah, sounds good to me :)

[sfljdmej2]

fuck yeah, sounds good to me :)
yoo your car looks like hotness dude ive never seen it around you daily it.

[ROIDMONKEY]

yoo your car looks like hotness dude ive never seen it around you daily it.
thanks, yes its a daily . Its getting a new paint job soon (front got paint when i did the conversion)

[INeedNewTires]

yea i've got 5 sets of wheels, so no matter what tires i can find i can use them, my wheel sets are as follows:

16x8 FD RX7 wheels, refinished silver
17x8 regamasters powder coated dark Bronze w/ a greenish tint
18x8, 18x10 BSA wheels bronze metallic DD wheels
18x8.5 stock M45 wheels (for drift spares)
19x8.5, 19x10.5 Volk SF Challenge silver polished lip show/DD wheels

And i'm still trying to get my hands on a set of G37 wheels for drifting... but yea until you have your own wheel shop you probably wont be perfectly content....

[azndoc]

Ummm yeah, I change wheels sometimes.

For those that know me, it's a problem it seems.

[SoSideways]

When I get enough money to get another set of wheels, I might send that 1 KF to you azndoc, so I can get that dent fixed :)

[Yuri]

I've only switched wheels on my coupe 3 times.
Each time, I've tried to get something cooler, but now that I've got a set that I designed, and are the only set in the world, I think I'll stop.
It could be a little hard for me to top them.

[Ian]

i buy what i can afford


when i find better, i get those and sell the old ones


generally i am never happy with my wheels, because i can't afford what i really want


but i can't have no wheels either (saving up for a long time isn't an option anyways...cus i spend money too much and i'm in college)

[axiomatik]

I've had the same wheels since 2000. Not that I am happy with what I have, I just haven't been able to justify the expense to myself. Hopefully I will be addressing that soon.

[hellaflush]

id like to just keep all the wheels ive owned... then i can swap whenever i want

but realistically wheels last me maybe 6 months max - same with the gf... ive been through about 8 decent sets of wheels over the last 2-3 years

piaa rozza, work vs-xx, work equip, work vs-kf x3, te37, ssr sp1, work euroline sl

[smelly240]

im with you...

[ROIDMONKEY]

Thank god im not the only crazy guy that like to change wheels every 2 months :)
I think i sell this work equip and get new one's. my space here is very limited to keep a few set of wheels unless i rent a storage place :)
Or trade is an option too :). work equip's for something else

[ripracer]

I've had 4 different sets so far and I've only had the car for a year or so. Nothing baller yet, because I drift it. I have KMC Hot Wheels right now 17x9 et24 chrome and look alright for now.

Monkey, What is that lip called on your silvia front? I have seen it one other time and have never tried to look for one but I'm looking at getting a Monkey Magic or something.

[LongGrain]

ive only had one set of aftermarket wheels, my advan oni's. i think their dope as shit, but if i could afford TE's i'd get some white 17x9 +0 and 18x10.5 +15....sex

TE's are def SEX for sure , they are def in my I LIKE wheels TE's, sorta of a same price range of SP1's

[Addicted2Kouki]

i still want my gram lights.

57s PRO. mmmm. tasty.

[Koopa Troopa]

I bought 2 sets of the same wheels.. So I never have to change! Just switch to something with another tire on it.

[status:one]

I think keeping a set of rims for a year is a good amount of time. That way every year your car has a new fresh look. But I like change... lol... probably a reason why Im selling my car.

[Quail]

Ive got 2 and a half sets of rims. I can mix and match if I'm feeling like a change :D

[95KA-Turbo]

I bought some works in September, sold them in December, and now I'm waiting for my regas to get here :love: . After that it'll be TEs or something obscure/I didn't think I could get.

[Brian]

I'm rich
so


every 6 months I have a new set

[CrimsonRockett]

4 different sets in 6 months.

By next month, I'll have new wheels that I should be sticking to for some time now.

Work VS-XX or Rezax V2's.

Hmm...

[Teddy]

I got my wheels like a month ago, and I want new wheels already...

[JoeC1982]

I got my wheels like a month ago, and I want new wheels already...
x2, but just because i need to get a different color. changing wheels is much cheaper than changing paint. i might just get mine powdercoated though, haven't made up my mind yet.

[Dousan_PG]

i own currently 10 wheels
my other 6 are soon leaving japan.

and i dont think ill sell any of them....maybe...

[INeedNewTires]

care to list them and sizes? and which are your favorite?

[bigOdom1]

no reason 240 owners are so broke, they spend money on shit they replace less than a couple months later even though it is not broken.


old saying goes " if it ain't broke dont fix it" thus i am not looking for any other wheels.

that being said i had se stockers to start off '07, In Feb i bought a set of NA z32 wheels never did anything with them bougt my Gram Lights in May, I traded the NA z32 wheels for something in November, and i Bought a set of TT z32 wheels yesterday. would love a set of 19" TE but dont have the 2500 dollars it would take to put them on my car with a set of tires

if any is looking i know where a set of 19" TE off the spec clutch car are for 2500 with tires. search the spec clutch 240 for pics pm me if interested

[tattoo131313]

I usually buy two sets of wheels a year.I always buy them used and I very rarely sell them.So,I have a garage full right now

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

i change wheels like you change socks. i usually change wheels atleast 1 every year; but in the last year i have gone through 3 sets and 2 pairs of wheels.

[Aeroscraper326]

Maybe a new set every couple of months.
And by new i mean used from Japan.

[Triadz101]

never rims (still on OEM, but not for long) but i change my tires pretty often!!!

[Matej]

Twice a day.

[ROIDMONKEY]

I think if i do a thread for whats your fav wheels the TE37 wins . im ordering either then SP1 in flat black or the TE37 in black . im inclining on the SP1's cause i can get them in 11j , its one of those really hard decisions u know :)
car have to come out from bodyshop with new wheels for sure , URAS Type-GT FRP AERO deserves new wheels

[turbobrick]

So far about every 5 to 6 months. I've had my car for almost two years and I've had 5 sets of wheels so far. I have a set of enkei mesh I'm thinking about selling to buy another set of 15's, dont know what I want yet.

[RanciD]

I have:

Set of stock steelies and alloys for beaters
16x7.5 +22 Buddy Club P1s (autocross wheels)
17x9 +15 5zigen FN01RC (track wheels)

Ideally I'd like one more set of something cool like TE37s but I don't need them so I can't justify the money when my car needs much love elsewhere.

[eastcoastS14]

haha looks like we got a lot of full time employees here...im a student and work part time so I have my FNs and thats it lol

[kuruptR]

I Usually roll on the wheels for a few months then get new ones.
Z32 tt Wheels
Work Euroline KH 17x9 +15 18x10 +25 sold (hate works)
Work S1 3P's 18x9 - 5, 18x10 +-0
Fabolous Expand 2PC 18x9 + 8 18x10.5 + 18 love them, so light too.

New ones 18x9.5 + 12 still havent put them on yet.. just another set of kicks to switch it up.

[Ca_laurier]

I am never happy with my wheels

08 - work ryver 17x8 +22 17x9 +22
08 - work eurolines 17x8 +5 17x9 +11 (sold to a friend)

I am just going to dish out the cash for brand new wheels next. I am never happy with them mostly because of fitment

[98koukile]

The day I bought my rpf1's I was already looking for another set of wheels, my next will either be vs-xx or emotion cr kais... debating on selling the enkeis or just holding on to them too, they'd make nice winter wheels

[silvia_twins]

sparcos, Works S2H wide, VS-KFs.....in less than 1 yr

[drifxtfx1]

thats y i have 4 sets a set of weds kranze ceberus, a set of work emitz, a set fo 5zigen fno1rc, and a set of fabulous expands.

[Koopa Troopa]

I rarely change wheels cause I don't buy ones that suck.

Ray if you even get rid of those XR4Z's I'll kill you.

[kuruptR]

no matter how good they are, they suck after one season.

[ericcastro]

I bought one set of wheels and use steelies for drift rims.
My money goes to track events and anything else that doesn't involve HARD PARKING.

Cause hard parking is kinda like "hard gay", look it up.

be repulsed and offended,

take that energy and get yourself into a track/SCCA event,

stop buying shoes for your whip and start actually putting those performance parts to work, ie. stop posing.


Or maybe I am making alot of genralizations cause I need a red bull and got a day full of chores I am avoiding ;)

[C. Anderson]

I had a set of vs-xx's (17x9 +5 front, 17x10 +19 rear) for 6 months and went to a set of rpf-1 (18x10.5 +15 front and rear) recently. Now I'm allready looking to get a set of te37's. I work full time and go to school full time (mech. engineering major) to support my habbit.

[Koopa Troopa]

no matter how good they are, they suck after one season.


Only if you're a ricer and care about what's in style.

[Modrified]

roidmonkey: stick with the wheels you have on your sig. :):) sick.

[ROIDMONKEY]

this thread is kinda old :) im loving the TE's right now

[jookybanana]

wheels are tite, i got a set every 6 months before i stopped
i want more, but no room to store anymore

here is what i had:
Motegi MR7 (gay and trashed)
RH GT5 (gay and sold)
FN-01RC 17x8 (sold)
FN-01RC 17x9 (sold)
Work emotion XT7 (sold)
still own:
G-Games 77F
Advan RG
Gram Lights T57RC
Volk Racing TE37

but i guess this thread is asking how the rims are changed, i say i change whatever i have every 2 months

[98koukile]

Only if you're a ricer and care about what's in style.

Screw style, you get sick of the same look everyday whether you have te37s or rpf1's or motegis, if you mod your car you change rims, simple as that

[fliprayzin240sx]

I rarely change wheels cause I don't buy ones that suck.

Ray if you even get rid of those XR4Z's I'll kill you.

Eh, ill sell it if the right price for em comes along...i know theyre rare as fuck but that dont really mean anything to me.

[EJ253]

ive been considering getting some new wheels

[Entry Speed]

haha I've had three sets of works and have yet to mount any of them on my car.

I can't wait to move home this summer!!!
