I like the G-games rims, I wanted those same rims for my black GTS, but geez.. they're so damn expensive. I'm gonna have to either look around for a good deal on them, or get something else instead.

who's price is that? which company?

That's a damn good price (assuming the tires are as good as the rims, say BFG or Yokohama or Michelin pilots or something like that).

If they get wrapped in cheap tires, you're still paying like over a grand for the rims alone.

I generally won't spend over $800 for rims, just because you can get some sweet ass rims (like TOM's) for like. $200 a rim. Pay any more than that, you better be either a hard-core show car, or a pro racer (with sponsors! happywink )

This is my feeling for two reasons:

1- if you bust a rim, you gotta replace it, and you may need it on short notice. Helps if it's affordable too.

2- I will burn through tires if racing in the summer (planning to autocross). I may need the extra bucks for new rubber.

Plus... The 77Wolf is such a kick ass rim, that if I ran them, I run a HIGH risk of some JDM fanboy totally stealing them off the car. Do I want to pay like, 1000+ bux of hard earned money for someone eles rims? hell no! angry

G-games are special rims...they should go on for track day, photo shoots or for that cool local car show; but right after, they'd go back into the garage, and my cheap, street-rims go back on for cruises or daily driving. thumbsup

BTW, the Wolf comes in 17" too. I wouldn't go bigger than 17" anyways. The 17" is lighter than factory 16" rims to boot. 18"s would be cool for show cars.

if i were going to pay that much, i'ld get Volks, and 2 or 3 peice so you might not have to replace the whole rim incase of damage

and if you get nut locks you don't have to worry about theives, unless you have your car in a really bad area

and i too would never get over 17's, best all around imo

can somebody explain the differences between 1 piece and 2 piece ? I plan to buy 18 inch 2 pieces but they are damm expensive. they cost around 1700 .Maybe if there is a high demand for those wheels. we can start a group buy after january. And also more more question to VSGTS14 to you, i have rev wheels model 10 17 inchs. and i know that you have the rev wheels also. i got a full kaminari kit . Do you think my wheels gonna look to small after i add the body kit to the car? i have a drop on my car with the ground control coilovers also . thanks for the help . Guys please post some pictures with the wolf 77's on a celica or a different car .

two pieces look better for me. It is a personal opinion though. The wolfs on the acura look awesome and it will look awesome on a black celica also smile can somebody post pictures about these rims more ?
