What are your favorite wheels?

[denny]

I’ve had my 23 SI for a little over a year now and about to upgrade suspension with the Silvers Neomax coilover kit. That means new wheels! I think the stock wheels look good but it’s time to spice things up. I wanted to post this thread to our community so we can share which wheels we’re rocking or even just some of our favorite wheels in general. These are a few of my personal favorites for an 11th gen civic:

. Rotiform LTN-J

. Konig Hexaform

. Kansei Tandem

. Work Emotion ZR10

. Enkei RPF1

What are some of your guys favorites?

Don't sleep on MITA!

I know most people around here are into Rays and Volk wheels. I considered Rays or Volk for a while before my research took me to MITA Motorsports.

mitamotorsports.com​

MITA is a small JDM Honda parts company in Tokyo who also manufacturers forged JDM wheels. One of the great things about MITA is that you can custom order wheels to your exact spec. They are expensive but reasonably priced for what you get.

I have a set of MITA FKS wheels in Hyper Silver on order for my FL5 right now.

Spec is
Size 18x9.0 inch ,
ET +45 ,
Bolt pattern 5x120 , and
Center Bore 64.1 mm.

Note: I may have to end up paying an additional Import Tax due to buying directly from an overseas manufacturer. I'll have find out when the time comes... So there's that. I guess that's the price you pay for 100% custom wheels.

​

Happy Hunting!

I considered what was out there until @TR3BLE introduced me to Volk G025 in this post. After watching the video he posted, I was sold but decided to order a set in shining bronze instead of shining black.

My preference is fat five spoke wheels. I would love a set of Work Meister S1 (3 piece) in 18x9 et35. These cars have much more aggressive fitments.

Ten years ago I had SSR Professor SP1 on my old Scion tC. Before the SSRs, I had Volk Racing LE28Ns. Back then I parked in a garage. Now I park outside, so I won't get any real wheels.

I'm getting tired of agreeing with you on everything

Nooice!
Yeah, I was looking at the G025 for a while there. It is a beautiful wheel.
The "Go 25", I call it.
I would love to see the dished out G025 SL in an 18x9.0 +45 some day! I love the dished look of the SL.

I'm kinda into deep dish wheels, although so far I only have one set... for my Wrangler.

Although not available in deep dish, ultimately I went with the MITA FKS for my Type R because I could order just the right size for a touring wheel, AND have a perfect fit in the center bore of the wheel.
I've never bought wheels that use concentric "centering" rings. I hear it's no big deal to use centering rings, and some people say they are not even necessary at all. So, rather than mess with additional rings, I paid a bit extra to get a nice looking wheel with an exact fit.

Man, have fun with those "Go 25" wheels. Those are gonna look awesome.
Make sure to post plenty of photos around the forum!

Cheers.

Late model vehicles tend to have better, or nicer OEM wheels relative to 20-30 years ago so the need for aftermarket wheels isn't as dire. I'm not a big wheel person, but the Volk ZE40 is it. It's an absolutely stunning wheel on the FL5 with the proper offset. A runner up would be BBS FR10.

My favorite wheels:

GramLights 57DR

Work Emotion ZR10 Glim Black Diamond Cut

BBS LM Gold

Matter of fact, the very first wheel I began shopping for the FL5 was the ZE40. Great looking wheel.

Also love the BBS "007 something or other", but something about genuine BBS to me just screams,

"Heeeyyy, youuuuu guuuyyys!!! Steal MEEE!!!"

Not going to get the deep dished out look on the FL5 without impacting many other things. I was running 24" deep dish wheels on my F-150 and they were a pain to keep balanced. I ended up later switching to a concave 24" wheel. Before and after PICs:

My sentiments exactly.
Once I finally got around to it, in 2020, I got my first set of proper custom Foose wheels, made in California, and deep dished AF. Nothing quite like a good deep dish.

Copy that, brother.
Did you say... 24s?
Dang, that's a big ass wheel. Even here in Texas.
I cannot imagine the extra weight of a 24x"Whatever".
The fact that it is a "modern" standard US pickup makes the truck heavy to begin with.
* Side Note and completely off topic. Clark_Kent please don't ban me for this. *
I suggest watching "The Fat Electrician" or specifically, "The Fat Files" on YouTube to find out why we here in America can't get cool "normal" trucks like like the Toyota HiLux or the Suzuki Jimny. Dag nabbit. I totally want a 202+ Suzuki Jimny, and can't have one, dangit.

Uhh, where were we? Oh. 24s. So there's that. I cannot imagine the weight. Notice that even though I got deep dish Foose wheels for my Jeep, I kept the size at a decent number, so that I could keep a decent weight, AND have access to a wide tire selection.
Above 18 inch, the selection for tires just drops significantly.

Yeah, 24x12 -44 (concave wheel). Each deep dish wheel weighs 58lbs. whereas the concave wheel weighs 48lbs. Tire options are very limited on a 24" wheel size and cost around $600.00 for each corner installed. Nice looking and functional wheels on your Jeep.

Back on topic, below is a PIC of one of the Volk G025 SZ Edition wheels that arrived today. The G025 is available in two "Shining" colors being the G025 Shining Black Metal (looks like black chrome) or the G025 SZ Edition Shining Bronze Metal.

I really like the "Shining" finish since variations of the base color look different depending on light reflecting from different angles. For comparison, here is a Volk TE37 with a Bronze (Anodized) finish:

My thoughts and contribution to this particular thread. Looking forward responses from others on their favorite wheel.

Did they give you an ETA of when they'll arrive? Looking forward to pics and hoping that you don't have to pay any import fees when they arrive.
