These Wheels on my ZHP?

[johnrando]

Almost pulled the trigger on the VMR-701s, 19s. Brand new, including the tires, $1800 total. Great price (retail at $2250). Not sure I can pull the trigger on 'em. What do you think?

PS: I should add that I don't have that kind of money laying around. lol. What we do for our cars!

I'd pick up some BBS CH wheels instead. I think they are about the same price. Look into it. Wait. Just noticed those are 19s. Have to check on pricing for 19 inch CH.

BBS CH might be the perfect wheel for the ZHP other than the stocks. Anyone know the CH weight?

Voted but I always so no to black wheels (very predictable).

I'd get these in 18s:

They are a little more than you are looking to spend but who cares. It's your money I'm playing with.

Trust me Marcus, I LOVE those BBSs. (I also like the LMs, and the LMR-s. The reason I looked at these was the price because it also included the tires. And honestly, I've never REALLY been into black wheels on black cars, but I'd do it for the few that would work, including those BBSs. BTW, the LMs are like $5K! Great input so quickly so far, thanks!

EDIT: Wow, the price on those CH's is not bad at all! I'm not too happy about the weight though. I'd like something lighter, to help reduce unsprung weight thus performance. Maybe the next decision is those vs. Arc-8s.

I voted to pass because I've never thought black wheels on a black car looked right, mostly because the black of the tires looks crazy faded & gray next to the deep, pure black of the wheels & car. Now, those wheels in a gunmetal or silver, could be hot.

Black would mean not much contrast. It depends on what you're looking for; do you want an all black look or do you want your wheels to stand out?

Sorry, I beg to differ.

Correct. I have always thought that the BBS CH was one of the great bargains out there. A great looking wheel at a relatively sweet price. It's the one wheel that I would put on my ZHP. For the record, I've been thinking about it for about six months. I don't like the fact that it's still simmering on the back burner. Means I can see me buying these at some point. I don't want to spend money on new wheels!

But, yeah, if you spend $3000 -- you would have the BBS CH setup plus nice tires.
