The higher end wheel are really ment for track use where its smooth

I've hesitating on buying the 530s which IMO are some sweet looking wheels. I've tried looking for higher end wheels but I don't like many of their styles. And the ones I do are like 3k+. I'd rather buy a damn motorcycle for that lol. I just hate getting bad mouthed by other owners that have nothing else better to do then run their mouths about a car that's not theirs. To each their own I always say. 640 wheels vs 1k-1.2k. Idk

You could make an argument on where that extra cost goes to when you buy a higher end rim. I hardly track my car and spend the majority of my time in THIS car in the urban jungle which is LA. Where you are REQUIRED to vallet and most of those vallets care less about your car unless it's got a raging bull or a prancing horse on the hood. Can't tell you how many times I've had my expensive rim scratched or dinged up and have to fight with vallet company to get them to fix/pay for it, only to loose. No more! With rims like the XXR/Rota/etc., I'll just go and buy a new rim for less than it costs to fix/repair a high end rim. My personal opinion/choice on the issue. Do what pleases you. That's what I say.

And why spend $4000 on rims on this car? Its not worth it. These are the rims to go with, you can always change out to some different type every couple of years if you get bored with what you have. With $4k rims, you are pretty much stuck with them.

And all rims will get scratched, unless you are extremely careful.

Hell, I'm so torn between a few different wheel choices, I'm thinking of getting a different wheel at each corner.

Yup Yup, actually had some road rash on a front wheel from falling off the track which was really ugly but didnt bend, took it to a shop wanted $175 to sand down and repaint to color match the others HAA. It was only $161 to get a brand new one shipped from nlmotoring.

Yeah those are the benefits lol. I'm debating between 530s, sparco assetto gara's, or the new style sparco tarmacs. (Didn't know sparco made wheels. Lol)

This is why I NEED to make it out to a meet. So I can check out other owers' equipment and see what I like in person. Pictures just don't do it any justice IMHO. I just wished I had more time in my life.

Yeah though these are cheap, but the 530's and 527's are damn good looking!! Though TE37's are nice but not everyone's got the money lol. Plus these are cheap and easy to replace if you break so I don't see why not. For haters, as long as you're happy with your ride, thats all that matter, since there will always be people hating

lbroskee · 03-16-2013, 03:56 AM
