Looking for some rims...

Here's what I want, 18x10, black center w/ a polished lip. I'm having trouble finding something like this, could you guys give me some links or pics of some wheels that fit this description?

Thanks in advance

CCWs, HRE's, Forgelines, and Kinesis can all meet those requirements. Prepare to bend over with the pricing, except for the CCWs which are under $2k for a set of 18x10s.

I see CCW 18x10s in your future, Kyle

Seriously, after we're done with your FD, you'll need the extra rubber in back

That's exactly what I like to hear

Volk will do custom offsets and custom colors, you just gotta wait a dickyear. They may not be available in 18x10, but definatly in 18.9.5 at least, which is close enough.

ya the 9.5 is doable. Are you certain Volk would do the TE in custom offset if you wait. I know certain wheels they will but highly doubt they will on a one piece. I can always be wrong though. I just wanted to let you know i don't have the 10 in my books. It's always halves, hence 9.5 is for the TE.

Just get the CCW's. Very well made and high quality wheel and you can get the centers in black.

Good call, Manute. I've been diggin' on some CCWs......I'm thinking somewhat vaguely of swapping out the Fikses for them. What's their website? Somethin' like www.completecustomwheels.com ?

All the work is custom. Just call or email them and you'll get set up right away.

Real race shops don't have cool websites, everyone is too busy working

Work wheels.

Here is a website (a friend of mine). He has Work wheels. Black center w/ major lip.






You'll have to talk to Rishie if it is possible to get these wheels in 10s. I know some are available in 9.5.

Is it Volk that will do custom offsets and custom colors, or is it Rays? Just asking to see if I could get some mazdaspeed rims in silver.

Rays is the main company. Volk is one of their brands.

Well, I would assume that since Rays is the existing company, I'm sure that they can custom color any rim/brand that they want.

Why would they limit it to just the Volk line? That doesn't make any sense.

In case you are wondering, the quickest time of receipt for a custom color (that I heard about), was 5 months. This is coming from someone who is sponsored...

Hey Kyle,

I recommend waiting for a bit.....get the power first, then take it from there. Patience is a virtue man; I got my Fikses for about 25% of retail by finding good deals on Ebay
