cncnjn · 09-05-2013, 06:23 PM

I need the communities opinions, i have a Raven FRS and am buying some new wheels soon, 18s are what i am looking for, Any opinions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

why are you looking for opinions? its your decision. look through the wheel gallery and find a few that you like, then do some research on the wheels and make a choice. its not life altering and you can always buy new ones if you dont like them. its your decision. dont pawn it off on other people. youre going to get tons of different responses anyway

good luck

get teddy bear wheels

Your first priority should be light weight. There is a good reason to stay with 17 in: they will be lighter.

Stock wheels are around 20lbs each.

Second point is don't get sucked into fitting wide wheels. 8 in is plenty wide enough.

Third point is make sure the tires you want are the right size for the wheel you want. Tires are more important than wheels, performance wise.

Only last should you worry about how they look, that is a matter of personal taste. The other factors are objective and more important than looks.

Stay away from teddy bear wheels, they weigh a ton.

I don't see anything wrong with asking for opinions but atleast narrow down your decision to atleast two choices. Then go ahead and ask for help to make your final decision. Sometimes help from the community is great but sometimes it's the total opposite if you have no clue of what you want. GL!
