Advice Needed :)
I'm looking to upgrading my wheels & tires ASAP,
Not sure what is best for me though.. I really want some rims with tires that will provide better than average performance, but still looking half-decent cosmetically.. I was considering some 22" Forged Wheels (because I love the way they look) but I don't want to spend 5k+ on wheels that are likely to slow me down. Does anyone know of any reasonably priced (2-3.5 grand) wheels that are in the market for performance? I'm having trouble finding performance wheels period. I plan to upgrade untill I reach about 450rwhp so I will need some good performing wheels/tires. I have a 1SS CGM with flat black stripes and would greatly appreciate any reccomendations  Grant

From my experience forged wheels typically retail for anywhere from 3 grand to 8 grand per set. This is without tires. Two and Three piece wheels cost more to manufacture than say a single piece cast wheel.
Cheap High Quality Performance based Pick two. |

so much to choose from.. you should go out comparing looks/quality/weight and ones with tires that you want and fit the wheels

I would agree.
Nineball, IconzWheels, INDpowr, NuTek Wheels are among some of the people I would contact. Give them your budget, let them know what you want, see if it's possible. Forged wheels normally are REALLY expensive. Which is why I don't have any. =( |

 Talk about embarrassing, but at least I'm not doing it to $5000 rims. |

haha. Just give yourself an extra foot
I've been parking cars professionally since I was 12 (I'm 26 now). It's second nature to me. |

Well if you wanna buy some now, I'll use them and warm them up for you when you're ready to use them.

I went with CCW wheels - 19X10 all around.
Dropped 50 lbs of weight. Performance increased a LOT as the tire has a shorter height and are over an inch wider. You can FEEL the difference. Gearing now feels perfect! CCW wheels are lower cost than most other forged wheels and look awesome! |

No such thing as a cheap 22" wheel that is good quality. Glad to see you at least understand that forged wheels are better. I mean hell, if we all settled for less we'd be driving Mustangs right now
 I have a set of 22" Rushforths with Nitto Invo tires in stock here in Houston. My INVO tires hold up just fine on my 675 rwhp car. You said ASAP, right?  Tony
