Style - why run a butt-ugly wheel on a gorgeous car?
Price - if you dont have the budget, there is no use looking for a 20k set of wheels Weight/trak function - you dont WANT to run a heavy wheel, but I havent seen any data that a 35lb OEM rear wheel will make me get to 65mph any slower than a 25lb ugly wheel assuming they are both the same diam. Now, Autocrossing may be a different story... but that wasnt part of the question

For my own vehicles,
Style first and foremost. I will not sacrifice anything to pick the wrong wheels, or settle for less. When I build a project car, I usually spend weeks figuring out the exact wheel style I want to run on the car. I buy those wheels. 1. Style/Fitment 2. Price/Quality 3. Weight doesn't matter much to me, unless I'm building a racecar. Tony

Cost -- tired of feeling like I'm being gouged and/or ripped off.. Wheels are way, WAY too expensive.
Weight is very close second. |

I had an expensive set of forged wheels on my Tundra and they were the worst, could never get them to balance so I got rid of them put on a set of cast Moto Metal wheels on the same set of tires and what a difference. Perfect balancing , no chipping on the chrome etc..............lasted for years. So for me it's price and style combined . Besides most of us buy wheels for looks and there are plenty of cool looking wheels that will cost a fraction of some of these forged wheels that are out there. No wheel in the world is worth $500.00 to $1,000 a piece. |
