Godspeed Ultra Deep dish wheels - anyone here seen em yet?

[SuicidnS13]

While browsing some mustang sites I came across these wheels by Godspeed. Has anyone seen these before-

18 x 10 +22

You can find the wheels here for more info-
Mustang Godspeed Ultra Deep Dish Wheels and Rims (http://www.cruizinconcepts.com/godspeed_wheels_mustang.asp)

They actually remind me of the TSW thruxtons-

[racepar1]

:squint::cj::jerkit::bash::nono::Ownedd::ugh::-/:loco::keke::down::spank::mepoke::barf::hahano::du h:

That about sums up my feelings on these lame wheels.

[oscarsx]

shit i like em=]

[s13 @ fullboost]

Ehh there Okay I guess nothing special

[khmer1]

man i just love to have that name GODSPEED sound like a boss battle on tokoyo extreme racer(i think there is right???) haha but iuono about the products haha

[ZipTiedCoupe]

look like mustang replica's. i dont really like em.

yuck.

[SuicidnS13]

Its just funny to find GODSPEED on a mustang tuning site. They have even invaded the domestic muscle car world now! When will it end?!?!?!?!? But I guess not bad sizes for a sub $300.00 wheel-

[ZipTiedCoupe]

lol, the next sportmaxx!

[SuicidnS13]

lol, the next sportmaxx!

Exactly what I was thinking. Atleast these arent a +35 or a +40 though... but still GodSpeed parts on mustangs has got to be the funniest idea ever. Whats next SportMax 002's on stangs and vettes?!? lol

[UfoZ8myCow]

Wonder how much they weigh... I'd rock those anthracite ones as beater/drift wheels for that cheap. At least they arent in Sportmax offsets.

[ZX88]

fuck these would be awsome in 4 lug for drift wheels dam i need to go 5 lug already.

[Pank]

I wonder how many wheels they bought from Axis to resell as their own brand:

Axis "Shine"
http://www.axiswheels.com/wheels/shine/shine_main.jpg

[EDacIouSX]

see how the spokes slant in? that's like those wanna be deep dish wheels.

[wow-thats-a-cool-car]

they don't look half bad they would be good track wheels. do they come in 4 lug?

[irax]

i love that, some one gives the assholes on zilvia exactly what they want

wide,deep,cheap

and guess what they do


continue to talk shit.....


THIS IS WHY YOU CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE!

[johngriff]

lifetime structure warranty.

18x10 and +22 isn't exactly a horrible offset. Especially for rears for the track..

[raz0rbladez909]

whats funny is most of the people dissing em are still probably rolling on stock shit, I wouldn't buy em but at least they come with nice sizing for all the flush whores out there.

[YoungGun]

I want a pair.

[nu_born]

hmmm...i like 'em, i'd def. rock those as track/beater wheels, for that cheap? pssh, fuckin' a right...

GODSPEED WHEELS - Ultra Deep Dish Rims (http://godspeedwheels.com)

oh lord, but check out their homepage. Such horrible grammar. Its like a 2nd grader wrote their ad copy.

[DreamN]

Those aren't from the same GodSpeed brand we all know about.

GODSPEED WHEELS - Ultra Deep Dish Rims (http://www.Godspeedwheels.com) and www.godspeedproject.com (http://www.godspeedproject.com) are completely different it seems.


Anyway, I actually like those wheels. I wish they were 17s because I would actually consider a set. 18s are just to big on an s13 IMO. Maybe I'll put these on the Town Car :D

Black Chrome is definitely hawtness!

[QuickSpoolSR]

[SuicidnS13]

Time for a drop and a pull to clear so we can see how she can really sit. Lookin good btw-

[jrbump]

And they even come in 4 lug for the especially broke 240 owners...

[OptionZero]

fake lip ftl

[S14DB]

And they even come in 4 lug for the especially broke 240 owners...

4X4.25 Won't fit a 240...

[SuicidnS13]

And they even come in 4 lug for the especially broke 240 owners...

"The especially broke 240 owners" LMAO- Yea I dont think the 4lug pattern is the right pattern guys.

[ZX88]

"The especially broke 240 owners" LMAO- Yea I dont think the 4lug pattern is the right pattern guys.

its not. the chinastang wheel with the fake rivits on it to make it look like a multipiece wheel looks pretty nice. but i bet these things are weak as hell they just look cheap.

[Katsumbhong]

its not. the chinastang wheel with the fake rivits on it to make it look like a multipiece wheel looks pretty nice. but i bet these things are weak as hell they just look cheap.

Then they would totally go well with my ride and my budget.

[Dream240]

Time for a drop and a pull to clear so we can see how she can really sit. Lookin good btw-

What the hell is going on with 240 owners lately?

STOP TRYING TO MAKE YOUR 240 READY FOR A LOWRIDER PHOTO SHOOT!! It's a 15+ year old sport compact import. Not a 1967 Impala.

There's nothing wrong with a 2"-2.5" drop and some nice 17's. Personally i like to be able to take my car places and not have to create a new method for pulling into parking lots and driveways everytime.

sheesh.

A piece of advice for the pic owner....your car sits just fine the way it is. Any lower and you're gonna need to put training wheels of the frame rails.

[TheRonTom31]

I dont exactly like how on the ultra deep dish the spokes come way it. I mean it looks like there is even a huge gap between spoke and caliper on the big brake display. Think of how awful that would look on OEM s chassis calipers.

For me also a wheel with a huge lip needs a meatier spoke to balance it out. There is very little face material on those wheels and even on the rustang it looks kinda funky.

I could see those other 5 spoke SC motorsports wheels looking good on a corolla though.

[exitspeed]

i love that, some one gives the assholes on zilvia exactly what they want

wide,deep,cheap

and guess what they do


continue to talk shit.....


THIS IS WHY YOU CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE!

I agree with this.

lifetime structure warranty.

18x10 and +22 isn't exactly a horrible offset. Especially for rears for the track..

And this.


The same can be said for FN's. 2003 they were the wheels to have because there weren't a lot of awesome fitting wheels. Now, they are the red headed step child of the 240 scene.

[240trainee]

Man, I want some of them chrome Mustang style janks

Would be perfect spares to my 17x10 veilsides.

shizzzzzz

[irax]

And they even come in 4 lug for the especially broke 240 owners...

4x4.25 is not 4x114.3

[Eastside DriFto]

Yea me to..Basicly if your not dropin 2 grand down on some wheels all the rich boys on here are going to shoot it down. ,I bet if that was photoshoped that its some old Work wheel or what have you and everyone would drool..Crazy..

Haha sooo true. +1

[jackjack]

meh......... i'll pass.

not a fan of the design.

[exitspeed]

meh......... i'll pass.

not a fan of the design.

I also agree with that. They are pretty ugly. Sizes are great and price is nice for spares. But in the looks department they do fail.

[240trainee]

Yea, they are ok, I just like em because they look close enough to my wheels to use as spares.

Fucking heavy ass spares, lol.

[racepar1]

i love that, some one gives the assholes on zilvia exactly what they want

I'm not looking for anything like that! First of all lip is stupid, it's all about concave. Second fake 2-piece wheels are uber ghey. Third godspeed is uber ghey. Fourth 18's are ghey as hell on s-13's. And lastly cheap is never nice.

[Flicktitty]

they look pretty decent, not sure on the 18 aspect but to each there own.

[Fred Allen Burge]

http://cruizinconceptswholesale.com/images/wheels/wheelreplicas/sc5silver_lg.jpg

Now that's a good looking, clean wheel and so cheap too! I like a lot for my S13 :)

Fred

[irax]

look it sounds like your trying to convince your self this more than me.

if you don't like the looks then it doesn't mater, what ever that's your opinion
if you don't like the fit, it doesn't matter, again its your opinion
if the price is too low, and no one has made a review or even bought one to say the quality is low, then fuck you. They said Parts shop max parts was low quality based on price, then people bought it and reviewed it and lo the perspective of cheap drift spec coilovers was a good thing not a bad thing. I know there are tones of people that got burned from Rota's and heard, read, saw proof of the lack of quality.And old school megan products, they had poor quality and fit, but now they have decent stuff. so you can not say that it's shit just because the price was low.

[axiomatik]

cheater lip always looks whack.

[azndoc]

OMG I'm selling all of my TEs and getting this.

So legit.

So tight.

I want, I want, I want, and I kid.

[theronin]

god some of you guys fucking hate so goddamned much. this community makes me sick sometimes.

[kognition]

The wheel business is tough.
Going to get alot tougher.

[Pank]

Yeah man, lets all pay $1,200 dollars for heavy 1 peice ripoff wheels instead of buying $1,200 dollar light wheels made by a real company.

MAN THE HATE IS JUST OVERFLOWING

ARRGGGGGGGG

honstly...for a cheap track wheel...those arent too bad...and if you break one...oh well...cheap ass 120 dollar rim down the drain

[drifting.8]

ehh
there okay.

I whould buy them for 200 with tires.. nothing more.

[!Zar!]

honstly...for a cheap track wheel...those arent too bad...and if you break one...oh well...cheap ass 120 dollar rim down the drain

Someone said $300~ per wheel.

Where did you get $120?

[!Zar!]

Ahh.

Ok.

Well, it's better than steelies and fit better than rotas/adr's.

So it's ok in my book.

I mean they wouldn't be my main gind wheels, but whatever.

[A Spec Products]

For me personally, I wouldn't do it

But if the wheel works and is in your budget, then go for it!

It's your car, so you choose how you want to lace it up!

[SuicidnS13]

Someone said $300~ per wheel.

Sorry those are morel like 140.00 per wheel.... oops Dorki beat me to it-

YOU indirectly attacked ME in your post that I responded to above. You told me that this company was giving me what I wanted when in fact they are not. I want cheap, lightweight, forged, track wheels with a nice concave to them. NOT wide, heavy, ugly, cheap wheels with a big fake lip! Since you brought it up, PBM is crap! As is megan, godspeed, etc... Are the PBM's the top of the line crap? For the most part yes they are. The perspective of cheap drift coilovers is also crap! Nobody cares about how they ride, how well set the dampening is, how consistent the dampening adjustment is, or how consistent the shock as a whole performs. All low price off the shelf coilovers have major issues in all of those departments, but nobody cares. All people care about is how stiff their "dope" coilovers feel and how slammed they can make their car. Neither one of those things have anything to do with quality. The average idiot's idea of quality is seriously screwed and that is why companies like megan and PBM are thriving while companies that strive to provide a high quality product are struggling. My opinions are well educated and I need not convince myself of anything. If you like these wheels then buy them. I really don't care about how your car looks or performs. I DO car about how my car looks and performs. You got all pissy about people expressing their opinions in your first post here, when in fact that is exactly what this thread is for EXPRESSING OPINIONS! Then you got all pissy again when I defended myself against your attack towards anyone who was dissing the wheels. What the hell is wrong with you? Because my opinion differs from yours I am not allowed to express it or defend myself? Grow the fuck up! I don't like the damn ugly ass wheels and there is not any problem with me telling people that I don't like them AND why I don't like them!

[Pank]

the only reason knockoff companies are surviving and the "real" ones arent is b/c their coilovers are 500 dollars cheaper. seriously.

[DohcKA]

nothing too special but they're not bad.... i'd rock em if i got em for free wouldnt cash out thats for sure

[racepar1]

the only reason knockoff companies are surviving and the "real" ones arent is b/c their coilovers are 500 dollars cheaper. seriously.

And, for the most part, YOU get $500 less product. But nobody cares about that. I am not saying that japanese coils are the shit, because they are not, but they are not shit either. Taiwan coils are shit. This is waaayyyyy too off-topic to continue this conversation here, if you wanna argue about coilovers PM me.

[OptionZero]

some n00b neg repped me, leaving a msg that that "the lip looks real to him"

Newsflash:

Convex spokes = fake lip

[nissans14k]

not bad if your on a budget ... i bet if that center cap was a different and there wasnt a label on it, peoples opinions would be different. but when they see that "GODSPEED" OR LAME ASS NAME, THE OPINION IS DIFFERENT. when i had my sportmaxx's "i know, i know" before i got my works, i had them painted black.. people thought it was a sweet wheel and right when i told them what brand they were, they were like.......OH......lol

[Pank]

And, for the most part, YOU get $500 less product. But nobody cares about that. I am not saying that japanese coils are the shit, because they are not, but they are not shit either. Taiwan coils are shit. This is waaayyyyy too off-topic to continue this conversation here, if you wanna argue about coilovers PM me.

I didn't say i loved knockoff companies, i'm just saying why they get more business. You're getting too worked up about this

[texas_s13]

Here are some pics of the sc wheels on my s13, there cheap and wide. wheel sizes are 17x9+24 and 17x10+20 i think. and they look decent

Cool, thanks for posting those pics up. What are your tire sizes?

Fred

[driftnasty180sx]

Wheels are wheel and these wheel are nice looking.....more pics!!!!!!

[240trainee]

Yea, I think I might get a pair or 6, lol.

They look close enough to my veilsides, and they cost about the same or a little less then sending my veilsides to Jack to fix and polish because I blew a tire and slightly bent the rim.

These would be better to run at events, and not cry if I fuck em up.

East coast events also tend not to have tire machines, so changing tires through events isn't an option, so having a lot of spares is a good thing, and if they look decent and are the right size....

are you running spacers behind those at all??? if not what is the clearance like in the front next to the damper?

Im running a 15mm spacer in the front

[texas_s13]

those look great, now did are they rediculously heavy? have they shattered or brake while just just driving?

i've had them for about 6 months and drive my car every day with no problems and been to two drift events with them.

[irax]

YOU indirectly attacked ME in your post that I responded to above.

I didn't ATTACK you, I responded to directly.

You told me that this company was giving me what I wanted when in fact they are not. I want cheap, lightweight, forged, track wheels with a nice concave to them. NOT wide, heavy, ugly, cheap wheels with a big fake lip!

I don't know are you an asshole of zilvia? You seem like a reasonable guy with a nice open wheel track car. So unlike the rest of zilvia it can easily be assumed that you can afford Good shit, but majority of zilvians are concerned about 2 or 3 things. Does it fit well without the need for 35-50mm spacers? Does it come in usable widths? Is it under $1000 new?
Stepped lip or barrel lip, some people prefer one more than the other, but the lip on these are real, not imaginary. the GodSpeed have whats I think is called a floating spoke design, and the spoke are sunk face which is what the FN would look like if they were designed with lip. But if you don't like the design that is ok, I'm not mad at you, I think some of the wheels they offer looks like shit but other look really good.


Since you brought it up, PBM is crap! As is megan, godspeed, etc... Are the PBM's the top of the line crap? For the most part yes they are. The perspective of cheap drift coilovers is also crap!

All low price off the shelf coilovers have major issues in all of those departments, but nobody cares. All people care about is how stiff their "dope" coilovers feel and how slammed they can make their car.

So I expect nothing less than ohlins suspension on your drift car then? And nothing less then custom designed link with $200(each) heim joints. I don't really want to get into why for street/non-pro/semi-pro drifters Parts shop max would be best choice. These coilovers are built and designed specifically for drifting and track use. Complaining about PBM max coilovers is like complaining that your sushi knife having trouble cutting through bones.

Neither one of those things have anything to do with quality. The average idiot's idea of quality is seriously screwed and that is why companies like NEX and Rota are thriving while companies that strive to provide a high quality product are struggling.
fixed for truth(or my opinion:keke:), yet people will still continue to buy NEX coilovers and Rota wheels.

My opinions are well educated and I need not convince myself of anything. If you like these wheels then buy them. I really don't care about how your car looks or performs. I DO car about how my car looks and performs. You got all pissy about people expressing their opinions in your first post here, when in fact that is exactly what this thread is for EXPRESSING OPINIONS!

I don't like the damn ugly ass wheels and there is not any problem with me telling people that I don't like them AND why I don't like them!
So wait my opinion is uneducated? I like these wheels and I will buy a set if Hotwheels Sixty eights are no longer available. I didn't get all pissy when people express their opinions. I didn't get pissy when you replied. I got upset or frustrated when people talk shit without even knowing the product. When people express their opinions about shitty products saying they actually had good experience i'm not going to say they are lying and fight what they have experienced. But I will when you talk shit about product that you never experienced, or even had the opportunity to read a review of people saying they broke driving down the road. Or that they weigh 50+ pounds. Some of the JDM wheels that people love so much weigh as much or some times more than the cheaper wheels that companies like XXR/Sportmax make. I'm not saying your opinions based on looks are invalid, but your opinions based on quality. I'm not getting heated, and I'm going to assume that you are not either.

[racepar1]

I didn't ATTACK you, I responded to directly.

My post was the only post seriously bitching about the wheels before your post. In your post you told the "people" bitching about the wheels that they were trying to give us exactly what we want, when in fact those wheels have nothing I want. That constitutes an indirect attack of my opinion IMO.

I don't know are you an asshole of zilvia? You seem like a reasonable guy with a nice open wheel track car. So unlike the rest of zilvia it can easily be assumed that you can afford Good shit, but majority of zilvians are concerned about 2 or 3 things. Does it fit well without the need for 35-50mm spacers?

But if you don't like the design that is ok, I'm not mad at you, I think some of the wheels they offer looks like shit but other look really good.

That is actually my dad's open wheel car, not mine. I post it here because I think that people will enjoy learning about it. I am just as broke as most people here, but I don't use that as an excuse to run cheap shit on my car. Most of the parts I buy are used and every last bit of labor is done by me. I take the time and spend the money to find the right parts at the right price with the right quality and I see no reason why others cannot do the same thing as me. There are plenty of wheels under $1000 that would be much better than these. Who cares if they are used and have a couple minor imperfections, they're BETTER!

So I expect nothing less than ohlins suspension on your drift car then? And nothing less then custom designed link with $200(each) heim joints. I don't really want to get into why for street/non-pro/semi-pro drifters Parts shop max would be best choice. These coilovers are built and designed specifically for drifting and track use. Complaining about PBM max coilovers is like complaining that your sushi knife having trouble cutting through bones.

I actually run tein flexes right now and a custom koni 8611 set-up is in the works. I upgraded the bearings on every arm that warranted it and $200 bearings are not necessary. You can get bearings for under $40ea that will do the job with no play for years. A proper damper set-up will be beneficial for anybody. Better dampening leads to greater stability over bumps, which would benefit drifters significantly. For street better dampers give you better ride quality. Stiff dampers are not necessarily good dampers and people don't get that. I complain because I want something better than what I can buy off the shelf and I want it without spending bucketloads of money. The only way to do that is to get creative and build it yourself. PBM's are OK, no better and they never will be because the people that they are marketing to wouldn't know the differrence.

So wait my opinion is uneducated? I like these wheels and I will buy a set if Hotwheels Sixty eights are no longer available. I didn't get all pissy when people express their opinions. I didn't get pissy when you replied. I got upset or frustrated when people talk shit without even knowing the product.

I'm not saying your opinions based on looks are invalid, but your opinions based on quality. I'm not getting heated, and I'm going to assume that you are not either.

Your opinion on these wheels is un-educated because you have no experience with them and probably not very much experience with wheels in general. I have handled a LOT of different wheels and have done a LOT of research on wheel weight and structural design. So while I may have no experience with these wheels in person, I can spot crap when I see it. I will guarantee you these wheels weigh over 25lbs each (probably close to 30), a good wheel of the same size weighs about 20lbs. 5lbs of unsprung weight per corner is a TON! I don't think the wheels will break or fall off the car or some shit. IMO they are hideous though, but that opinion cannot be measured in any way. Your first post came off as an attack, maybe you didn't intend it like that, but that's how it read. I took offense because you have no reason to attack people who don't like what you like, ESPECIALLY because your opinion has nothing to do with quality or performance.

[norcal_black240]

Wheels look aright imo. Prob coo for daily driving which is what most people do with their cars. In the end its where peoples values lie. Some people would rather have baller ass stuff while others dont feel the need to spend 2,000 bucks on wheels. For those who could afford it more power to ya. Cause if most people could afford it they would go out and buy the good shit.

I wonder how many wheels they bought from Axis to resell as their own brand:

Axis "Shine"

those have 5 "bolts" (lol) between each spoke, the OP wheels have 4.

It is true.

Those SC Motorsport knock off Saleen wheels aren't too bad. 17x10 +20 for $140 in black or silver ($187 for chrome) is not too bad.

I think the 03 Cobra style knock off is a better deal though.

17x10.5 +27 for $117 in black, $137 (on sale) for polished, $149 for chrome, and $167 for black chrome (looks pretty good actually in the pictures).

17x9 +26 for $110 in black, $126 (on sale) for polished, $138 for chrome,
and $147 for black chrome.

wow, this is a thread! Some of those wheels you guys pointed out though are pretty cool. I like the Godspeed deep dish as well. Has anyone taken a look at these. I like them.

http://www.cruizinconcepts.com/images/wheels/replicawheels/2003cobradeepdish.jpg


I might check into how much these weight. What do you guys think about this wheel?

I was looking on the Godspeed wheels website by the way and they say those 18X9's are only like 24 lb's. I am not a wheel expert, but they sounds pretty light to me. I think the 18X10's were only like 26.6 or something...

[dorkidori_s13]

24lbs for a 18x9 wheel is really heavy...my 18x10 SSR MS1s weigh in at like 20lbs...i was easily able to lift them up one handed

but yah...those 5 spokes above are pretty decent lookin just to use for shitty track wheels...i wouldnt recommend running them if youre looking for performance though

There are a trillion companies that make knockoffs of those wheels, so its not like godspeed is the only one that makes it with a lip. shop around

[SuicidnS13]

Wow didnt know my thread would take of the way it did. Anyways if you are really really interested in mustang wheels definately check out www.americanmuscle.com (http://zilvia.net/f/www.americanmuscle.com) and click on their mustang wheels section. Note only look for wheels which fit 99-04 stangs as the offset is as close to what we would be using. They have great service from my experience (back when i owned mustangs) and have ultra fast shipping.

Now my opinion on the wheels-

For track or daily driver use perfect wheels. Let your gf curb em and your buddies pee on them at the house parties after they get raided. But for a high quality build with over 10-15k allready invested obviously you can move onto a better wheel selection.

[EDacIouSX]

i love that, some one gives the assholes on zilvia exactly what they want

wide,deep,cheap

and guess what they do


continue to talk shit.....


THIS IS WHY YOU CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE!


who gives a shit how cheap wheels look like? And, wide deep dish wheels with imitation lip is friggin gay.


it doesnt even reflect anything. and after a while it looks like scratched up clear coat on unpolished metal. look at all the sport wacks. none of those dishes look anything like works, rays, weds, garson or anything that is quality.

[inertiaticism]

I really like the fake Saleen wheels.
If you like the look, but want quality, find some old MiM/Speedlines, I forget what model.
That's what came on Fox body Saleen Mustangs.
They made a lot of them.

[HyperTek]

these wheels look decent.. i respect the fact that they are not a knock off of another wheel like Rota does. I remember a company that knocked off the FN01s lol.

Ill have to spit these around the rx7club forum, alot of guys are in love with rotas and sportmax and im sick off seeing "post a picture of your rx7 with sportmax" threads etc lol

They look like oldschool Saleen style rims

Well from what I can tell that isn't the only difference. I looked on the Axis website and that is a photo of the deepest dish Axis has which is a 20X10 and doesn't have as deep of a dish. The axis website has a link to the lip depth and weight and so does the Godspeed wheels website. The Godspeed Omega on the left has the 5" lip. I also noticed that Axis only makes one finish and Godspeed makes the Omega in several. Just as a side note I wonder if the Axis would clear those Brembo brakes! It appears at least that brakes were considered when they designed the wheel.

I am starting to dig the BlackChrome from there Homepage. I like the different finish and I think it would probably look ok on a Black 350.

http://godspeedwheels.com/images/godspeedpage_06.jpg

[MouTai_Chris]

I called Godspeed Wheels and point blank asked them if the rims had any real quality to them LOL. The guy I spoke with didn't take any offense and informed me that it had much better quality than a replica wheel I was comparing it to.

He was very familiar with the Bullitt wheel and stated that the bullitt wheel is used on major drag strips all over the country by the Ford Mustangs and it that they hold up very well both on drag strips or any track. He also said there are now Mustangs Drifting that utilizes the American Racing single piece torque thrust II and the standard Bullitt Wheel. Moreover, he said they had a car at Mustang week that was pushing 1000+ RWHP sporting the staggered Omega.

He noted that the Maximum load capacity rating is stamped into the back of the spoke on the bullitt wheel as it is a DOT requirement for any wheel. He mentioned that the Bullitt had a Max load rating of 1,400lb's. He also informed me that 18" rims often have a weaker load rating because the spokes are more elongated which makes the barrel and spoke weaker. He said that there drop face computer engineered Godspeed Omega has almost a 1,600lb load rating.

He said this was a pretty big deal considering there wheel has a thinner spoke, is a larger diameter and has deeper dish. They credit this to better technology in the initial design process. He said that every Godspeed wheel has the DOT mandated load rating stamped into the back of the wheel.

Another cool little fact that he gave me was that the wheels have a lifetime structure warranty and 4 year finish warranty which I thought was pretty good, but I have yet to compare there warranty to other wheels so that is my next task.

Here is a photo he sent me of the 18X9 Black Machine all the way around. He was trying to push all 9's because apparently they are getting low on the 10's. Its not a bad look considering the one he sent me is not even sporting the 10's which I like much better.

I ordered up a set of all 17x10 +20 just before this thread opened - when i get tires on em ill post pics.

The SC i mean -

they're knockoffs of the saleen/sterns from the fox body - just they got rid of the rivets... they make em with the rivets also of course - but i am gonna paint mine black... I still need to order a set of spacers to fit them properly (i think i need a 15 to clear the coilovers)

I like that wheel as well but I'm not sure about 17's on mine. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing some photos to get a better perspective on the wheel. Good luck with those and cant wait to see the pics.

It may be that the car is too high, or has too much tire, or both, but those look horrible.

Z's/G35's really need 19's to look good, their wheelwells are just too big

[PANDATECH]

not only that but the body of the mustang is huge compared to our cars... that also might be a slight difference in looks...

[MouTai_Chris]

I found a wheel I really like now in the 20". This is a TSW Thruxton. Now you have TSW, Axis and Godspeed Wheels which all have similar designs. The only thing is that I would like a deeper dish than the Axis and I don't really like the hyperblack finish on the TSW. The only ones that have multiple finishes in this type of style wheel is the Godspeeds. Why in the H E double hockey sticks dont they make multiple finishes in the TSW or Axis. I think they would sell more because not everyone wants the same exact finish.

Anyway, the TSW in the 20X10 has a 5 inch lip as well and it looks pretty good on these types of body styles. Godspeed will have over a 6 inch lip they say and they also say there wheel will be stronger and lighter. The only thing that sucks is that if I wait on the Godspeed in the 20" it will be later this year at best before I can get the rims :(

I'm still stuck on this type of style though, and now I can see that 20's look great. What do you guys think about this style in the 20's on my body style?

There is incontestably no such thing as a "fake lip"... If you look at momo, foose, mht, american racing, Axis, TSW and so on you will get the picture that many manufactures design wheels with contoured spokes. This has been an industry standard for decades. To get all worked up about a dish thats bigger than your forged rim is pretty silly.

There are several forged rims which use contoured spokes as well to make the lip deeper. I can name a few in this post if you would like an education. No disrespect, but if you don't like something just say you don't like it. Don't act like you know something about wheels if you don't. I'm sure your not an expert on the differences between gravity cast molds, spin forged, heat forged or cast aluminum molds. If you do indeed know this information without having to do your homework for several hours I would be surprised. I would be even more surprised if you could explain the differences.

In fact, these companies are among the very largest wheel manufactures in the world. Not to totally disrespect your rays, works and weds.

American Racing and MHT are the 2 largest wheel manufactures in the North America. I don't know about around the world, but I'm guessing there pretty close. American Racing, MHT and TSW's factories have to be pretty high tech and I have seen load ratings on some of there wheels that exceed 1900 lbs!

Thats with a decent size lip. Most forged wheels aren't smokin those ratings man. I know thats bad news to here when you have spent that much money for forged. I would think for some of those price tags the wheels should weight like 15lbs in an 18" and have like a 2000lb load rating. To bad most of them don't cut the mustard. Most of the wheels you listed though sure kick you in the but with there price tags. The load rating is almost everything on a wheel and you would think there shi* would be allot better than the others.

I know..... Its because there limited production or something. Maybe you get a certificate of authenticity.

If you want something really sweat buy an HRE multi piece forged wheel. They look a hell of allot better than those wheel you listed and they are the real deal for the price. Not that I would pay it mind you.

I have a friend that has a Z with Axis GT-R's and its pushing 800+ RWHP. His engine has all forged internals, supercharged, head mods, full exhaust, Nitrous injection and so on just to name a few.

His wheels have held up fine on the car both on the track and elsewhere for over 2 years. Finish is still perfect and the lip is Friggin polished aluminum just like the ones seen. In fact I don't recall ever seeing a wheel where the lip looked ooober shiny unless the friggin wheel was chrome! Do you want a painted wheel with a chrome lip. That would be friggin gay! Anyway, if you want a oooober shiny lip, you might want to buy a wheel that has a stainless steel inserted lip. Thats getting closer to SHINY. But you wont find that on to many forged wheels... Most companies that make painted forged wheels don't want to use a chromed barrel with a painted spoke design. That would simply look weird I think. I could be wrong there but if I'm buying a painted wheel I don't want a friggin chrome looking lip!

[yokotas13]

fake lip ftl
yes, while wheels likew orks, rays, etc etc do use the angle of hte spokes to make a little lip

not 2 fuckign inches worth.

[sijia10358]

i would rock those wheels ANY DAY!!!

[theronin]

so before it was not enough lip, now its fake lip. jesus some of you guys just look for something to hate on. next its going to be too much lip. cookie cutter cars ftmfl. think for yourselves please.

[atom]

Those fox body replicas actually look pretty decent. Yall need to quit being such wheel snobs LOL.

[MouTai_Chris]

fake lip ftl
yes, while wheels likew orks, rays, etc etc do use the angle of hte spokes to make a little lip

not 2 fuckign inches worth.

I don't think anyone implied that they did. The point here was that they do bend and contour some of there spokes for a different look. That being said who cares if certain manufactures use a more dramatic contour than the ones you just mentioned. You don't have to like a ultra deep dish styles. Just don't call something fake when its simply just a different way of designing a wheel. There is no such thing a fake lip. That was the main point here.

In regards to popularity though, there will be 50 to 1 single piece cast aluminum wheels out there, over your rays and other 2 piece forged rims.

Axis TSW and/or whoever else that make rims in really deep dish styles and designs will be seen on the streets much more because of price points. Many replica styles even do well and other quality tuners wheels are out there that look great and perform great.

HRE in my opinion is 5 times larger and much better than rays. If your going to spend 600+ on a 17" with many of these then why not just be a real man if you have that kind of money and buy an HRE multi piece forged wheel thats the real deal. HRE is the most popular ultra high quality forged wheel in the world and is very commonly found on many exotics like Ferrari and Porsche. I love HRE wheels. I'm not poor but I can't justify spending the money. I've learned a great deal about some of the performance aspects of wheels and there just not a must.

By the way I don't dislike rays and/or the others. Its just the friggin point that some of you guys bash the wheels these guys post up in here. I would reiterate myself by saying that there are single piece wheels out there that have equivalent load rating to rays. I might also add that there are sometimes hundreds of $$$$ difference in price. However, many times not a massive difference in rigidity and quality. To an extent, it seems you get what you pay for

However, unless your made of cash and you have a car thats kickin out massive horsepower beyond what 99.99% of the people in here are pushing, then much of the time it may not be worth the price tag. Enough said.

Well, your comment doesnt even make sense considering I have never even mention in any of my posts anything about HRE until the last page. This has more or less been a general wheel discussion in the later part of this thread.

No disrespect to you intended, but you havnt read all of the posts in here obviously. In fact I point blank said I would not even buy HRE's because they cost to much essentially.

Thanks for helping make that clear though I guess, just in case anyone else thought I was promoting the HRE company. lol
