I have been looking at a lot of wheels lately, so I just want to know what your guys' choices are

Here are the ones I want. Gram Lights 57xtreme, my one and true love.

Unlike women though(you know, for obvious reasons), it is a good idea to have a back up plan if they plan to stop selling the wheel, or in my case, sent over a limited amount(17x9s are rare mofo). So the back up plan is Work Emotion CR Kai

I'd like to stick TE37's (or Rota Grids (I don't track, so it won't be bad)) on the Ralliart. Back up plan is the RPF1's.

The price on brand new TE37s make my eyes and wallet hurt. Rotas aren't bad now, so even if you do track the car you should be good.

Well, I settled on these because of value for money and light weight...

Given no budget? I'd go with these:

I like simple, symmetrical designs. The lighter the better.

I would love these:

Year One's billet Snowflake rims. 18"x10." The cheap set costs over $3,000 but if you want 12" wide rims it will cost you $2000 more. https://www.yearone.com/Product/speed-…

The SRT-6's rims are damn nice and obviously keep the stock staggered look. But in all honestly it will probably never happen.

Mine for sake of comparison.

I like to think of TE37's as investments. They'll never decrease in price, and you'll always have some kid on some forum who will buy them.

Almost $1700 for a set of 4. That was way more than I wanted to spend at the time.

Back then I wanted to (and have) put my winter WS-70's on my stock wheels and buy a lighter wheel for the summer. The Enkie Tuning Fujin's I got were about $900 for a full set. 18.8lb Enkie vs. 17.2lb O.Z. The Enkie's were almost half as much and were a big weight savings over the 24.6lb stock wheel.

Ha! There's no way in hell I could afford those (they cost more than I paid for my car). I don't know why they are so expensive. I am seriously on the hunt for a set of these: Factory WS6 snowflake rims (what my car came with from the factory). They are 15"x8" and I am trying to find a set for under $200 which is quite a task. I bought a set of 7" wide ones for $40 but the 8" wide ones are a lot more rare.

I'm going with the cliche Miata wheel because it is a damn good wheel and the company is local to my hometown. . . .

Here, a silver NB with black 6UL's. I'd be happy with those and a black HT and the windshield header painted black.

This is the best pic of a silver NB with black 6UL's I could find.

I've got a couple that I want for mine. Enkei 92s, Borbet Type A or T and Ronal Turbo's. All are relatively popular for e30s but not all are easy to find. The Enkeis are being made again. The Ronals are fairly rare and definitely expensive.

Enkei 92. Someone nearby is selling a set. I believe they're 16s and I wanted to go for 15s. The price is nice though so I might snap them up.

Borbet Type T. A set is for sale on a local BMW forum but they're 16 x 9 which is both bigger and wider than I was looking to go.

Borbet Type A.

Ronal Turbo

These are all wheels that are more style oriented; for performance a set of RPF1 would always be good.

In black. Because black and white is hot. For my '13 WRX.

They're RPF1s, of course.

I personally am pretty happy with the current Ronal R8's. They've such a great pedrigree to them and are actually incredibly hard to find these days, as they haven't been produced in over a decade.

However, were I to ever go to a larger wheel, I've been looking pretty hard at these...

Those are some heavy stock wheels. Mine are about 21lbs, which is actually pretty good. Enkei is pretty much the best company when it comes to wheels, cheap, fairly light, and pretty strong. Whats not to love?

A bit of it is the brand name but these are also forged and carry some heavy certifications.

Are they worth more than your TE37s or what have you? Not sure.

But once we reach 3k on a set of rims I'm ready to go into the HRE territory without hesitation.

The FR-S is a 215/45R17 right? That's a smaller wheel. 24.6lb isn't awful for a 18" stock wheel (225/40R18). It's not great, but it's not bad. 21lb seems pretty good for a stock 17". Still on the heavy side for the size, but better than mine for sure.

I agree, Enkei is about the best value out there for an every day wheel. It did well this summer with the crap roads I drive on.

Jeep Cherokees and Fox Body Mustangs look good with them too. I want to put a spare set on my blue Blazer. They would look terrible on your FR-S though.

my only beef is that you can only find them used, and good ones cost about a grand. But you do get good tires usually at that price.... and it would be my 3rd set of wheels...

Have you looked into any replicas of that style? or are they all cheapy reps?

I guess when you're dealing with 200-300k cars, 2-5% of the MSRP is nothing to add on for great looking wheels.

I would save and get the TSW's, but they don't have the right finish for my car.. The MSR's however...

I love that finish, and for the price I've heard they are great wheels. Mind you, I'm not tracking on these wheels, because if I ever was, I'd get the TSW's.
