Default Heeelp!! I need some help with a set of wheels!!

Hey guys! sorry if this seems like a dumb thread to some, but im going insane!! ive been trying to get a set of wheels for my Z (metalic silver) but everyime i found some i liked they were either out stock or Discountinued!! ive been searching for atleast 3 weeks and nothing!! so i was wondering if maybe some of you may help me? i have found 4 sets of 19 staggered so far but only 1 is available and thats my least favor so i was wondering if you guys could tell me some name brands that look similar to these, thanks is advanced!!

R1 Hype Machine Face

Racing Hart RS-721

Katana CR5

and my least favorite...
MRR GT5

and yes they all look alike but i like this style of wheels.

It's not uncommon for popular wheels to be out of stock, with 3 month waiting periods for the next shipment to come from overseas so you might need to be a little patient.

Think of it this way - the one you like the least is in stock because it's the one that nobody else wants either. There's probably a reason for that.

Check out the Axis Shine. There is a vendor on here that sells them.

RPF1s don't really look like his options...



...but I'd have to agree with you that they make a great choice. A set can be had for a reasonble price, they are strong and light.

thanks dave i will keep that in mind.


hey jroucco those axis shine look really nice do you know if they make them machine face with black? it would be perfect if they do!

i dont really like those rfp1s, but thank zer0cool i think im looking for a combination of both i want them light but i also want them to look good, if not lighter than stock wheels atleast the same weight. but thanks everyone for your input!

If you're having a hard time finding the R1's I would also direct you to the Volk VR-G2's in Formula Silver:
