reputable wheel compaines

[BoostSC2]

So I've been looking to Work XSVV and CCW wheels or something along those lines for a while, hard to find them in 15" or 16" sizes. I'm considering rep wheels and I know they are frowned on but honestly, spending a couple grand on wheel for a car that the company is no longer around and that's probably worth maybe a grand in good condition is a little much IMO. Plus continuing a boost build and can't even find coilovers made for these cars, but will be buying neon coilovers like another member did on here. Also saw that VW Mk2 coilovers may work, so will have to resort to those. I've read all the threads on here going back and forth about fake/rep wheel vs the real thing and I'm NOT trying to be the typical "ricer" and cheap out on wheels, I would like to know, other than Work/Volk/CCW etc, if there are any other good reputable companies out there? Enkei good? XXR are being considered.

Hey man!

Enkei is just fine. Mostly, people look to forged wheels as being the highest quality. However, cast wheels really won't crumble to dust on you, so don't listen to that nonsense. Just know that they are a lower quality than forged, and therefore not as strong.

As far as the fake/real argument is concerned, fake wheels are thought of to be replica cast wheels of forged wheels. For example, BBS LM's are a forged wheel. Several companies make duplicates (just like a knock-off Rolex), which are cast.

It's really up to you on what you choose. I would suggest Enkei for sure, but there are also many forged wheels to be found used at a lower price. There's also Rotiform, Fifteen52, WCI, and several other companies making affordable cast wheels. Of course, I have 6 NUE's for sale if you're interested

PM me if you have questions about the coilovers, I may be able to lend some guidance since I've cut up around the struts on these cars before.

What kind of car is it?

[BoostSC2]

Thanks a lot man. I have been looking at Enkei rpf1s for the longest but everyone has a set and I'm trying to look for something different. Work XXVS IMO would look sick on these coupes but hard to find in 16s. I'm looking for a 16x8 with a +20mm or +25 mm wheel, that way it should poke a bit in the front and come out flush in the back, better than the wheels I have now (16x7 +40mm). I picked up spacers from a buddy of mine for next to nothing, 10mm for the front and 15mm for the rear, but still not enough. But enough for self clearance of the wheel wells, its a lot lower than my past post on here, about a thumb size wheel gap.

I might go with the rpf1s since I haven't seen any saturn with them so in that regard it will be "different". I was looking at XXR 521 or 530. I like the mesh and multispoke design on these cars.

check here, the vortex and ht for wheels. honda and vw (mk1/2/3) all use 15 and 16 wheels

Anyone have opinions/experience with stance mindset wheels?

[AnchorsAweigh]

Just buy used wheels, it's pretty fun piecing together a set

[BoostSC2]

I'm still searching for a good used set of wheels. I came across stance mindset wheels but no reviews about them and was wondering if anyone has experience or opinions on these wheels. These don't appear to reps of other wheels and come in the size I'm looking for, but want to be sure. I've read a bunch of horror stories with XXR so I'm staying away from them.
