Yet another, "help me with wheels" thread

[MaxHarvard]

LOL, need some help folks. I'm really not that good with picking wheels... I always get buyers remorse. :lol:

Fairly set on Forgeline's... although I'm sure I could be persuaded.

I'm thinking gunmetal centers with a brushed lip.

Thoughts?

I have narrowed it down... (sorta) to this wheel

I gotta go with polished... looks so good it's ridiculous.

That will really change the personality of your car. :cheers:

That it will.... plus the subframe and brakes... the thing is going to have a new stance and be more aggressive :)

It's a 2002 Kia Electric blue :)

Hey Max - I was in the same boat just a short time ago. The De3s (in a step lip) would look awesome and really open up the wheel well, but they only come in 19s and up. I wanted 18 max on the front so that left me w the Wc3s.

Not really a bad decision to be made here as they're both good choices, but I would also go with the polished lip on that pretty blue...:thumbsup:

Glad to hear your going with Forgelines.
I wanted to be sure you have seen one of our newest designs, the GX3http://www.forgeline.com/product_images/product_photo-xlarge_image-433.jpg

Available 18", 19" and 20" blind bolt and I-beam spokes.
Like all of our wheels it can be built to your specs and finished any color that you like.

Please let me know if I can assist you in any way.

My choice would be:

Killer looking wheel. That wheel will look killer on your car.
I would go gun metal grey centers. Good luck!:thumbsup:

With the rear bumper still being chrome, emblems, and windshield moldings, I would go with either a polished of chrome outer to tie it all together. Gunmetal, brushed/cleared, or even the silver powder coated centers would look awesome. You really can go wrong with any of the Forgeline designs. They are all bad ass!

[nacnac]

dont you want to do something different? Everyone is doing gun metal. I like the black w/silver. Just my $.02.

If you have to think about it that much -- then keep shopping because when you find the right one - you'll know it.

There's tons of people that can photoshop or render your choices... spend a couple bucks now and save yourself some "angst".

I agree.

Again, I agree, as well.

Excellent choice!

[Ron in SoCal]

Love that wheel Max. What size(s) did you go with?

Thanks Scott, Dave has been very helpful in working with me. I was able to get him brake specs and specs from the front clip I'll be running from SpeedTech.

Can't wait to see them!

I went with 18x9 in front and a 18x12 in the rear. Gotta clear those giant 14" Baer brakes!! :unibrow:

Yum! So you went w the DE3P, not the step lip? The pic looks like the DE3S, but my eyesight taint what it used to be. Congrats man! BTW, I'm running the same brakes. You're gonna love 'em!

Edit: Nevermind. It's the Gx3. The pic you posted is a 20". The 18's have a little thicker spoke. Spoke to Scott who cleared it up for me!

I know brother...I remember ordering my wheels and had to wait like 6 weeks and the anticipation was killing me. Post pics as soon as you get those bad boys in and on the car.
