Aftermarket wheel market has gone to the dogs RANT

Came for the bear wheels.

Had to post them myself.



Left half disappointed, half satisfied.

I had no problems with selection at all. My last set of Yoko Advan RZ's were the best wheels I've ever bought.

I think the problem isn't one of choice, but what you see is that the market is being flooded by other cheap rim manufacturers. The good ones are still there, actually.

I blame china.

[Mr Miyagi]

Order online or buy from private sellers.

Thanks Japanese tuners and blingers, thanks for turning the wheel market to crap. Where have all the tasteful euro inspired wheels of the 80's and 90's gone? 3/4 the selection at a major tire retailer for my lowly 4-100 bolt pattern is now tuner or bling flavor and a majority of those are some no name brand.

Oh please! The market is there but you need to actually spend the money. Check out CCW.

Here are my 3-piece stepped lip, 5-spoke, custom LM5s. I designed them for max strength, minimum weight and enough clearance to fit Brembo GT series BBK:

yes, a lot depends on trends - but if you don't see the wheels you like.... go elsewhere? There's plenty of selection out there for "vortex tastefully approved wheels"

i noticed the same thing. Everything looks cheap and is either gunmetal, or black with a polished lip and fake 2 piece bolts

No,no. Hyper black, Hyper silver or gunmetal.

Just stick to BBS.

Sadly, some of the newer BBS wheels are taking the "designer" route. Besides, their prices are so far out of my affordability range they're not even in consideration.
I too am disappointed by the wheel styles out there for all the reasons cited, and notice even OEM wheels are sporting some of those cliches.
