I'm thinking about getting some "black wheels" (carbon fiber, etc.) 16" for my car. What brands are out there. Please list web sites, pics, links, or prices if you know.

Thanks

 

i think the ssr competitions look pretty good..and the 16's only weigh 11 or 12lbs

 

Kosei K1 in anthracite. Good wheel for the price. Lightweight too.

 

Here's the pic:



Doesn't look that dark in the pic, but that's because it's kinda like a polished black finish. Looks pretty damn dark at different angles.

 

I know you can get the K-1 Kosei's at http://www.tirerack.com, something like $139/rim; I think they sell the SSR Competitions too, a lot more expensive though. Both nice lightweight rims.

 

the rota circuit 8 and the subzero in bronze are pretty slick and light.
I can get you a contact for a groupbuy on them.

 

Just get a wheel you like at a good price and have a local shop pwder coat it whatever color you want. You could even get a used set if you're gonna re-finish them anyway.

 

I like the SSR's in black with a red trim on it!

 

That is what I say... get a set of decent looking cheap *** wheels, and powder coat them.

 

I have Team Loco 143's (Anthracite) on my G2. Purchased them from The Tire Rack for about $120 each. Here's a picture of them:



They are kind of heavy though. A 16" should be lighter but it'll still be a heavyish wheel.

I like the Circuit 8's as well and Rota has a couple nice CHEAP ones you can just get powdercoated.

 

How about black TE-37's??? Or some SE-37's?

 

hey , if you got the money go wit spoon sports. flat black, titanium alloy 9 lbs each. strictly business-no bullshittin-race mode.(sw388/i think thats what they are).

 

SE37's!!!

 

i wouyld get some wheels u like and powercoat them too. i have 95 gs-r whels powder coated black and i love them. plus there light weight.

 

Thanks everyone. You'll never guess what happened. I was on my way home from America's Tire Co to check some wheels out, prices, etc. And I for some strange reason hit a curb while I was making a turn at about 10mph. To give you an idea, the car went up the curb and back down.

Can you say Stuuuupppiiiidddddd. I scratch up bad my right 2 year old Konig GTR that was in perfect mint condition. I was thinking of selling them to get the "black wheel."

Now I can't ask for the mint condition price. My car does not vibe at hwy speed, so I don't think there is any damage. But F*******K.

In a strange way, I don't think I'll be getting them because I was planning to get 16s or 17s. And they would have been killed if I made that stupid mistake of hitting a curb like that again at that speed. Man.... What was I thinking.......

 

Black opal Konig Verdicts are bad ***! i like them
heres a pic...
