I'm tired of seeing this wheel on every car at the meets
>>27827472they look decent on a lot of cars.overused or notI have Forged Weld wheels, and those are over used as well.
They look really good thoughever
>>27827472It's just about the safest possible bet. Comes in a shitload of different sizes, bolt patterns and offsets, is good quality, isn't ridiculously expensive and looks good on just about anything.
No my problem
>>27827472RPF1, but is it overused? I don't know. It's really good for the price, so I can't say. BBS anything is overused in the VAGgot community.
>>27827472cope more poorfag
>>27827472Avoid ricers, problem solved.
>>27827472Better than seeing poor faggots on reps everywhere. Then listening to those poor faggots cope about wheels being just wheels and other miscellaneous reasons why they can’t afford TEs
>>27827487TE37s really do work on everything
>>27827472I bet a majority of them are reps
>>27827472bring back steelies with wire hubcaps
>>27827472People like them because they're lightweight, strong and not over-styled.
>>27827628I'm surprised by how much I like that Cadillac. Gives off a Eurowagon vibe.
>>27827685Most people like them because they're expensive and a flex
Its a good lightweight wheel. If there's something better I'd use that. Wheel autism is something ill never understand.
>>27827827TE37 isn't a flex anymore. Used to be but now they're mid level. 4k on wheels isn't that hard. 8-10k on custom one off forged wheels? That's hard.
Japs have TE37, americans have their torq thrusts they put on everything, Euros have those BBS honeycombs.As god intended.
I always wondered why manufacturers put the ugliest wheels on every vehicle they can. Even plain steel wheels look better than 99% of what you see stock.
>>27827472concave te37s look so fucking retardedthe only good tes are the flat faced ones.
>>27827472What would you recommend for a crown vic?Has to be R17, or R16.
>>27827472Anything aftermarket
Euroline master race
>>27827507They are a large oem...& they make beautiful wheels, sounds like you're a jealous faggot.t. steel wheel owner
>>27827897my wheels cost $68.29ea you should see my bank account
>>27827685no they dont, theyre jdm fashionpeople who want lightweight and strong track wheels get apex or titan 7
>imagine not buying Wedssports picrel
>>27827472having 6 spoke wheels is bad juju as well
>>27829434based schizo
>>27827472people choose them for a reason
>>27829434What's the right number?
>>27828451I don't dislike the wheel, you sperg. I say it's overused specifically on VWs.
>>27829518Anything with an odd number, preferably 3 or 5.
>>27827472agree those look like shit, dumb weeb Mexicans love em tho
>>27830031How about 1?
hemm?
make sense on jdm cars that are more boxy in geometry everything else is retarded
>>27829518>>27830031for me it's either matching the number of lugs, or double or half
>>27827472>good thing is LE COMMON?yeah actually i agree with OP why is every wheel round? there should be more triangle and square shaped ones.
>>27830073Based wiener wheel enjoyer.
>>27827526ricers don't throw TE37s on their carsreps maybe
Please post examples of "better" wheels. AVS VS6 is the only other wheel I really like beside TE37s. Everything else seems like a compromise.
>>27828290If you're going to post example of wheels at least make sure the photo is of clean undamaged wheels and non ugly tires
Poorfag equivalent.Nothing wrong with running RPF1s though; I run a set on my ND.
>>27830576No. Cry about it.
>>27829515That's the difference between a quality forged wheel rather than cast. Forged will bend not shatter, giving you a much better chance of surviving.Pic related: Buddy Club P1's seem to be the hot racing wheel in Oz lately
just bought, whaddya think?
>>27830952Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's rims.
>>27830913I don't think it matters either way, I've had a forged wheel get ripped clean off the car in a crash. Something has to give and if it's not the wheel it's going to to be the suspension. A lot racers use off brand wheels because they're a consumable and it doesn't make sense paying double every time one needs replacing.
>>27830769Built for BBS
>>27827628I want to hate it but I can'tFuck you.
>>27831066Many race cars use "shear plates" for mounting suspension components like a-arms.It saves the chassis and disspiates energy in a crash.
Other than choosing a color that compliments the paint, I don't know why people have such a fixation on wheels and spoke design. Can honestly say I've never bought new wheels in my 13 years of driving, I just either ran with the wheels that came with the car or bought some used ones that came with the tires from my friends.
>>27828290>eurolines>in 17>with balloon tires
>>27831493sweet ass fitment
>>27831463Some people take their vehicle to a mechanic to change an alternator.Some people build engines in their living room.There's "car guys" and there's "guys with cars" guess which one you are.$100 says you don't know what model of transmission is in your car.
>>27831874>Doesn't mount his own tires but gets all huffy puffy about being a real one for caring about the most consumer catalog shit about cars: the wheelsQuit being a fag.
>>27831874>Some people take their vehicle to a mechanic to change an alternator.>Some people build engines in their living room.this is a thread about fucking rims
>>27831885>>27831894So much seething and butthurt from the NPCs.Changing wheels can actually increase your acceleration as wells as reduce track times and braking times due to reduced rotational mass.Different sizes also affect handling characteristics.But you drive some shitbox that has less hp than a yamaha I was riding at 18 so it doesn't matter in your world.Now breaks ovwr, get back to flipping burgers wagie.
>>27831931>uhh something about track times and rotational velocities is why I need these dope ass blacked out rims for my Jeep
>>27831931not to mention lightweight forged wheels are literally stronger than any shitty cast or flow formed wheels.
>>27831931>So much seething and butthurt from the NPCs.You sure showed them, buddy.
>>27831931reply to me when you forge your own wheels, wrenchlet
>>27831966>busrider calling someone wrenchlet.Thanks Biden.
>>27827572I'm poor. My CB7 has reps on it. I bought them off of craigslist and spent less on them than what big diesel trugg bros spend on a full tank of gas. I don't know who made them. I don't even know what brand they're a knockoff of. I paid the guy with cashapp.I sprayed them, and any time the paint gets fucked I just pull out a stack of index cards I bought from the dollar store, mask off the tire(s), and spray them again in a parking lot.I think they look cool. I ordered a $30 LED underglow kit off of Amazon yesterday because I think it'll look cool.I haven't gone to any car meets yet, but if I do any someone thinks I am a poorfag than ok I guess, I still think my car looks cool.
>>27832047post forge
>>27828539Literal whos
>>27832157I'll forged your mom's pussy with my cock, if you catch my drift.
>lel forged wheels>0 track threads on olmao at most its retards who work part time at jiffylube
>>27832307i’ve yet to see one other person here who tracks their car
>>27832379Why are you squishing that poor kitten?
>>27832307Don't harsh on the jiffyboys mellow, you'd fuck up some skid plate screws and over torque shit too if you had a minute and change to do an oil change before the corporation had an opinion about your performance.
>>27827472They're a good looking wheel, buy everything gets boring, after a while. I got tired of looking at Crager SS mags and keystone slot-mags, by the '80s and Centerline solids, by the '90s.
>>27832403that little nigger uses my tires to sharpen his claws
>>27832403Some tracks have retarded noise restrictions so you can't run catless
>>27832652
>>27832157I use my buddy's (seriously) and I'm not at his house to take pics.No need to build my own when he has one already.
>>27832418>good looking wheel, buy everything gets boring, after a while20 years ago just about half of fox body mustangs on the road had either '95 Cobra R wheels or weld draglites/dragstarsThe Cirba R is a nice looking rim but having your car look identical to every other fox in the parking lot got old really fast.Luckily fox body's are much rarer today so that's not an issue
>>27827472>people like a good looking wheelYeah no shit retard
>>27834515Yeah it's good but is it just my autism that I hate conformity, looking like everyone else? If I wanted to look like everyone else I would just leave it stock.
>>27834314Yeah, I kinda helped start that :) I was maybe the second guy (in PA anyway) to convert to the 95 cobra wheels, on my '88. Swapping the axles and brakes was easy, but you had to order the fucking rims from Ford and they didn't have many. I got one in Allentown, ordered 1 from California and one from Florida.
>>27832172Everyone who tracks their shit sees them everywhere Not you though huh
>>27834562>I hate conformity>into carsbuddy lel
>>27830570yum>>27834562>looking like everyone else?A lot more people drive boring crossovers than tuner cars with TE37s. It's all relative.
>>27827472>going to "carmeets"are you mexican?
>>27835191nta but my car meets are predominately white
>>27832379There's a few, but you right. RPF1 life here.
>>27830073sovl
>>27836039RPF is a great budget wheel.
>>27835191>having social anxietypoor lil white boi
Volk Racing Superfine Mags will always be my favorite performance wheel. I wish I could get my hands on a set.
>>27836114a man of good taste, most of the wheels i want i’ll never get my hands on>picrel
ce28 are under used. Importing these was awful.
>>27836159fellow oil burnerthere’s lots of S2ks with Ce28s, not to mention the s202 STis that came with Ce28s from factory
>>27836159Ugly wheel in black. Especially there it really doesn't match
>>27836169not the person you’re replying to but black/graphite wheels look great in person but they always look terrible in photos.
>>27836159spokes too thin. having said that, I have a set of GC010G which are almost the same thing
>>27836114Why do companies stop making some well-received wheel models ?
>>27836169It's not black in person if you go on rays website. It's diamond dark gunmetal. Itsl has bronze flake in it.
>>27836181For reference
>>27836186mine aren’t black either, but in photos they always look black. good thing about darker wheels is they hide the brake dust from my track pads.
I love the BBS wheels that came with my new MX-5
They tried phazing out TEs in the early 00s but realized they would go under if they stopped making them.
so much black wheel cope going on in the last couple posts
>>27836177Molds wear out for casting Despite good reception they don't sell particularly wellThey just decide they want to make different wheels and end a line to free up spacePlenty of reasons. You can still buy Work Equip 01s brand new if you want, same for minilites and compomotive MO1s but lord help you if you want a set of Rays Texan Ride 2s or Bridgestone Vectors
>>27836300The stock CTR wheels are pretty good too, Though the BBS wheels only came on the limited edition.
>>27832379Cute de tires
>>27836478CRS/A052/RE71RS are far superior but these tires don’t grease when you get them hot n bothered. great for seat time like those RT660s
>>27827472why does it bother you, just put a different ones on your build and it will standout moreerr... you do have a car good enough to show at those meets you go to, right? because if you didnt this thread would be so embarrassing for you
>>27837316>just put a different ones on your build and it will standout moreAnd watch everyone walk right by it to look at the car with TEs.
>>27836453>The stock CTR wheels are pretty good too>20"Ok chang
>>27836450Thanks for the info.
check out my sick new bbs bois
>>27832379>Kumho v730you gonna put real tires on your car or what?
>>27839329nothing wrong with V730s, they’re cheap and grippy. i’m not looking for a super lap, i’m just trying to get seat time.
>>27836597Crs v2 takes 6 laps at a 100 second track to grease out. It's basically what a v730 wants to be
>>27839355there’s only one track i go to that’s a 100 second lap or under, the other two are nearly 120.
>>27839431What tracks
>>27839439streets of willow and big willow are both under 100 seconds a lap, buttonwillow and chuckwalla are both 120 or more depending on pace. if you turn either chuckwalla or buttonwillow into a 100sec or sub 100sec lap you are C O O K I N G.
>>27836450>compomotiveAre Compomotive wheels expensive ? Their site says "price on demand" which usually means "more than you can afford pal".
>>27839560idk how much they are new but the MO5 is very common in Britain for rally cars in 4x108 fitment and generally go for 4-600 £ a set, maybe a bit less if it's in a less common fitment
>>27839617Will look into it.
