what u guys think?

Salty_X · 05-19-2004, 08:09 PM

Besides the Typhoons, those are all high offset FWD-style wheels. Helium and Seki are like Volk CE28Ns in bad widths and offsets, Holes are like Typhoons in even worse widths and offsets, and Battle Exe are like Advan VS-5s in bad widths and offsets.
Not trying to rip on you, the styles are cool, but the specific brands and available sizes don't do those styles justice.
So yeah, out of those, definitely Typhoons mang. And if you're 5-lug, they do come in 9 +15...

A wheel that is a poor quality replica of a quality wheel, sold only in narrow widths and FWD offsets. They sure are popular - because they're cheap. But, you often get what you pay for.

The only exception to the knockoff rule that I've come across, so far, is Rota. Those wheels are inexpensive, knock off expensive designs, and only come in FWD sizes - but the quality is great. They're narrower than what I want for my Civic, even, though, haha.

Typhoons Would be better for your health.

iirc, the G-racing wheels are made by volk. I like the G-racing just find better offsets.

Actually, that would be by Giovanna, makers of the overly expensive, gaudy and tasteless chrome wheels one might find on a old Chevy with televisions and a metalflake paintjob reminiscent of a houseboat
