Flow formed or better, $1000 to $2500, high quality
[EDITED] I’ve been thinking of wheels again, and I know this topic has been beaten to death. Here’s a list of quality “not crazy looking” wheels between $1000 and $2500 that have been popular. Any others to add? Some are classics and are timeless. Some are actually cast, so I’ll need to refine the list.
I’ll make a spreadsheet or site with images and more details later. Enkei Racing (RPF1, RS05RR, PF07) Gram Lights (57CR, 57DR, 57XR) WORK Emotion (ZR10, T5R, T7R) WedsSport (TC105X, RN-05M, SA-72R) SSR (GTV01, GTV02, GTV03) Advan (TC4, RG-D2, ???) HRE (FF01, FF04, FF15) Forgestar (CF5, CF10, F14) O.Z. Racing (ALLEGGERITA HLT, ULTRALEGGERA) Enkei Tuning (KOJIN, TS9, TSP6) Superspeed (RF06RR) FAST Wheels (FC04, FC08, FC09, FC12) APEX (ARC-8, EC-7, SM-10) TSW (Nurburgring, Imatra, Bathurst) |

Perfectly good quality wheels are being made in China and the Philippines. I wouldn't let country of origin dissuade you from a particular wheel, if you like the design/specifications.
That being said, I personally prefer to run a made in Japan wheel on my FR-S. But I have made in China wheels on my mr2 spyder and they've been just fine. |
Better not look where the second gen stock wheels are made......
|
If only there were a thread already stickied at the top of this section with pictures of different wheels in different sizes and offsets. Maybe someday someone would do that ...............

If you would bother to google for 2 sec you would see that "rotary forged" is just marketing wank for flow formed. TSW, who uses "rotary forged" in their marketing even says so :bonk: They are not really "forged" in the classic sense that you consider a real forged wheel forged. We call this in other industries a spun wheel. https://www.tsw.com/explore-tsw-cust...ged-wheels.php https://astforgetech.com/cast-vs-flo...among%20others. Some of the wheels on your list aren't even rotary forged, looking at you 57DR which is straight up cast. I have a set they are heavy AF. |

Many American and non-Chinese brands are produced in China. The brand may demand a scan for defects or perform an xray, making them a cut above ordering direct from China. Styles are widely copied.

Just got my superspeed rf06rr in 17x9, they're flow formed and light, I would guess 17ish lbs as the 18s are 18lbs.
Got them for about $225 a pop shipped from canada land. |
