I would go with the fast rims :)

[Mitchell3]

I agree with Takumi

[Ozil]

Enkei :)

A lot of people have those Fast rims (BBS LM reps).....



But I like em too. Do it. Although Id get them without the red trim.

[Scottobot]

I like the Enkei's.

That would look terrible.

Go with the Fast

[dentinger]

did you actually just say those cheap knockoff's would look better than BBS RS's?

BBS'S ARE THE GREATEST WHEELS EVER. PERIOD.

That rim would look terrible on a 2011 black sedan.

Also, I personally think that style of rim looks terrible. Don't like the heavy mesh or chrome dish or the bolt heads (don't know the actual name)

[Mitchell3]

Id actually be interested to see if those bbs actually could be pulled off on a 2nd gen.

They'd look better on my 2006 GT sedan :)

now, to find someone to buy them for me....

[ottoyu34]

Could be possible if the whole car is modding with a retro look.

+1 on Enkei, check 'em out.

Tire size: 205/50R17

Watch Aitch's thread. He's putting his gold RS on his 2012 IIRC.


Also BBS RS aren't for everyone I guess. Just those with style...

Oh, and on-topic... The Fast rims get my vote. Not huge on the time-attack look, but it's your car and I love meshies :D

I don't get how this thread ended up with that many pics of bbs

[CoolColombian]

I would go with the fast but before I mount them I would plastidip the red stripe.

:chuckle me either but damn are they delicious lookin!

Out of the ones you provided I'm going to say the first ones but I think you could do a lot better with other rims IMO.

[Felks24]

Go with the Enkei Klamp out of those 2 choices.

Maybe in Hyper Black instead?

[zzz3]

Enkei klamp replicas:

Rtx apex - $180 obo! For that price you could powder coat them in any colour and still save money:thumbsup

[loki]

for the price of real Enkei wheels, why would you buy replicas?

unless the replicas are light weight as well, in which case I guess it's not so bad.

[zzz3]

4 enkeis for less than $200, where? I'm on my phone so I might have overlooked any reference to their prices.

No you can't find Enkeis for less than $200..lol

Sneaky edit, too bad I didn't capture the ambiguity in a quote lol.

I know what you mean but aside from forged enkeis, such as rp, they weigh a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if these weigh the same if not similar.

[DumpInfo]

If you don't mind going with 18's I think the RX-8's are a good choice considering CoolColombian brought up the RX-8's. Here's an idea of what I mean.


+1, you(JuanK) could by my set of RX-8s for example!

Considering you have a 2010+ 3, this is how the rims look on a hatch. Decided to use hitesk's ride as an example.

You just don't have class lol. BBS's are some of the classiest wheels ever made. And they're 3 piece! That means custom widths and offsets!

Get some 17x8, 17x10.5, +30 offset, and 215/45 tires.

/thread.

[Kiyomi]

from my own personal experience. I would not do the black on black look again. partly because its hard to pull off, and from afar, it just looks like you have on giant tire. gunmetal or other similar colours are a different story.

[dentinger]

Meh, I had time attack volk ce28 reps, and I thought it looked pretty good. I was also slammed, so I'm sure that helped.
I had 17x7.5 and 215/45 tires

Those are nice but whichever you choose don't go with red stripe style, thats been overplayed IMO.

my next wheels will be plain jain wedssports sa 55/67/70 or buddy club racing p1. if all else fails, shinka rx8 are my back up plan.

or i could go against the grain and get some cast iron wheels. will look classy (that was sarcasm as well).

[Aitch]

Shit you're going to hate my car lol.

That looks pretty good, nivce that the red stripe is in a different location. Of the first two, Enkei gets my vote. I'll +1 what others have said, black with red stripe is a bit overdone but if it's what you like go for it. Keep in mind the first thing we'll all say afterwards is 'lower it'.

right on!..thanks for pointing out the sarcasm..although it was laid on thick enough that i got it..lol

[jshacm]

i say get the fast wheels

i love the black with red stripe look, i have been looking at the Tenzo R Type-M

[n00bMeiSter]

Be different, get something crazy, go nucking futs! Get glow in the dark polka dot!
On some crazy ass rim that no one has. (like the rims that RJ3 is selling)

[The Wolf]

Get glow in the dark polka dot!

:getout

[dentinger]

not polka dot, but glow in the dark!

the glow time isnt long, and they need to be "recharged", but it's cool none-the-less!

[krimsalt]

For the left side of the car, put on the Enkeis, for the right side, put on the Fasts. That way you get the best of both worlds!!!

[jonnL]

I like the Enkeis

[chrispy053GT]

IMO, id go with the Fast Europa Rims

[Juank]

i hate to buy wheels!!!! so hard to choose!

[jshacm]

i found out about RTX Wheels (a montreal wheel manufacture) today from a sound store here in ottawa, pretty nice wheels and way cheaper than the enei or fast... about $200 a rim. the link is for the apex model which has the red rim, but they have other options, plus a cool thing that lets you see the wheels on your car.
