$1000 budgets
 

I really want a new rims for my FR-S but i dont hv alot of money. so What rims and tires can I get for around $1000?? Any idea??

There are a lot of knowledgable folks in the forum willing to help out! Perhaps you could provide some details to help get some meaningful info to you:

-What are your goals for new tires/ wheels? Performance, looks, both?
-what size wheel do you want? Do you like the current 17 inch look?
-Are you modding your suspension/springs/ride height?
-What finish do you want?

It's great that you have a target budget, these additional details will help you get some relevant info.

ebay wheel and tire specials

I'm looking 18"x8.5/9.5 either black or white finish. For look but still do a good job of performane. After I get the rims, I'll install eibach spring 1" lower.

$1000 - is that for both tires and wheels? If so, you'll probably have to look for used wheels... or less brand-name wheel. Maybe check out Rota, XXR, or Drag wheels - good quality wheels on a budget - they'll be heavy though

For tires, how much are you willing to stretch the tires?

^^^ Good question. They are not 18's, but they are 17.9's, light weight at 17.8 lbs, and good quality. They were just a tad over $1k shipped.

Search craigslist or the forum for your area. Occasionally you can get a steal on wheels and tires. Just be patient.

Just check out the XXR 530 or XXR 527 lol they look good and not that expensive.

XXR weigh almost as much as the OEM wheels, they would be good for looks but will not get you a lot of performance. If you can save up a little more and go to $1500 then you can get wheels that are light and look good. RPF1 maybe? And if you care color picky, save up a little more and powder coat them to any color you want.

My budgets is for both tires and rims lol so save up a little more is still too much for me lol

You'll end up with bad tires with $1,000 wheels + tires.

Just be patient, set that $1,000 aside and save up some more. You'll end up with A LOT better looking, performing wheels and better tires.

save your money, dont rock replica wheels.

Just exploit the used market as quality rims with a bit of gutter rash seem to lose their value rather quickly.

buy some xxr's and some Indonesian or Taiwanese tire...
