Just do like I do when looking at wheels.




Find ones you like.
Say to yourself "I will wait a week before I order"
Find new ones you like better in that week.
Repeat over and over and over and over.
Save money by never getting wheels.

The issue I have is that I keep coming back to really like Enkei rs05rrs, which are of course twice as expensive as anything else I've considered. Makes them difficult to justify mentally. I know there are also Ambit RE02s, but something about a knockoff company that falsely claimed they met certain regulation standards screams all kinds of nope.

I keep coming back to the basic 2017 stock wheels. Just need to wait until somebody in Canada decides to unload a set for a reasonable price.

My exact strategy. In fact it works so well that I have NEVER replaced wheels on a car. I did replace a few hubcaps back in the day, but even then it was typically after one was damaged or lost and I couldn't find a like match.

Nothing too exciting... SPC 12mm Camber bolts and some nicer quality extended steel lug nuts.


My car budget is tight though because I just bought 4 tires, an ignition coil, and wiper blades.

I ordered some Trico Force wiper blades. They invented the wiper blade in 1917, or at least that's what wiki says. I actually didn't know that, just bought them on reviews...
