Ok so I can't come anywhere near affording the beautiful HREs, D2s, Iconz or any of those, but I think I have found a couple wheels in my budget that I really like.

One is the Foose Speed 20x8.5/10. Here is a very rudimentary chop I made of them on my car (I'm no photo expert)

The others I'm looking at are the Lexani LX15s with the chrome lip in the same sizes.

I couldn't manage to get any decent photoshop on those. The lip makes it hard to line up. If anyone has seen a CGM with these or would be willing to photoshop it for me, I'd appreciate you letting me know.

Anyway, what do you guys think? On the one hand I love how the Foose looks, it's nice and concave in the center which is cool. On the other hand, I'm a sucker a big shiny chrome lip. Anyone who is an expert on these things like Nineball, I'd appreciate your insight into which one "fits" my car better.

not CGM, and in 22", but black is close enough...
These wheels look great from an angle.

I did see that picture. Those have the black lip, I think I'd rather have the chrome, but I dont know. Those look pretty great too.

I actually like that particular Foose wheel, but not much of anything else they have. Seen the Lexani wheels in person a few times, it just doesn't look like a quality wheel to me. You might also consider the Forgestar F14 wheels if you want quality, lightweight, max widths, and low price.

Ltdodge · 06-04-2010, 08:22 AM

here is mine, i think the foose speed look the best in the price range that they are.

would have gone forged but didnt have the coin for it now, but i like these. i am going to have the inner hoop painted black next week, here is a picture of it with tape just to check what it looks like

Ok I'll bite....what's the damage on the F14s?

Edit: Googling is showing about $1700, which isn't that much more than the Fooses. Since these have so many more options, what widths would you recommend? 20x9/10, 20x8.5/10, 20x9/10.5? Another question is will the stock 245s fit on 9s or would I have to get new tires right away? I plan on going with wider tires later, but would like to finish out the stock tires first.

I really like these wheels a lot. Look great on your car too. What tires are you running?

i originally had the pirelli 275's up front, but my tire was worn unevenly and was not riding good, so i took them off and put the 245's up front and its running perfect now. on the rear i went with the Nitto invo 315/35/20 tires

anyone have the foose rims shown at top on a white camaro? i like the look of them just not sure how it would look on my white camaro.

2010 SSRS · 06-04-2010, 12:13 PM

I think they look good

TaylorRyanSS · 06-04-2010, 01:59 PM

I like the lexanis, but I would have the spokes color matched to CGM. That would look great

The Lexani's look small since the spoke curves in
