18x12/18x9 wheels under $2000?

[Abbott]

Whats up guys, having a hard time picking a set of wheels, or rather finding a set within my budget. I am looking for 18x12 rear and 18x9 front for under $2000 but this seems to be a difficult task.
Does anyone have any ideas/recomendations? I love the Livewires from Rushforth, but they are a bit out of my price range, as are most the others i have found. Thanks for any ideas guys! :cheers:

intro classics... i paid $1500 for my 18X9.5's.... 18X11's shouldn't be that much more.

you might be able to get some ccws for 2k...
it the 18" and the 12" needs are whats hurting your budget...

anything over 10's are going to be expensive. most need a 3 piece for this, and theres no way youre going to come in under 2k for those.

What's been said above is exactly true. Going to anything over 10" wide is going to add quite a bit of cost. If there are any Intro styles you like just let me know. I can get you a set of 18's with your budget but it would be in 10" width instead of 12".

Ah bummer, but i figured as much. I guess ill just have to roll my stock 15s with my drop and mini tubs for a while so i can save up :headbang: Thanks for your input guys!

Check out Weldcraft Wheel Widening (http://www.weldcraftwheels.com/Wide.htm). They can widen your existing rims, or perhaps take a new cheap pair of narrow wheels and make them 12" wide.

Something else to consider.

ccw's will run you 2600 new, figure out your backspacing and keep a look out for used wheels, they pop up fairly often

Or you could always run an 18x10 with 305's and still look good??

I went with the Z06 replica wheels.
18X9.5 in the front and 18X12 in the rear for just under $900 to my door. Only thing I had to do was run 1" adaptors in the front.

jon - any word on the new wider hoops for the 2 piece wheels?

[Jimmy Sean]

Check out my build thread and see what I did to get 18x12 wheels. May be something to consider, I have $1100 total for all wheels in mine.

Thanks guys, these are all great ideas and things to think about. Im sure ill figure something out, or just eat roman noodles for a few months and pick up a set of Rushforths :yum: Thanks again all, ill let ya know which direction i go!
