Thinking About My Options For Wheels...

I was thinking about my options on wheels for my car. I also want to get a set of tires, and I already know which ones I want.

I would love these Sport Edition D5 wheels.

These Kosei K1 Ts' aren't bad either.

For the most part, I have always liked the Elbrus I05. I just hated where they put their name at.

Oh, that attatched thumbnail, just ignore it. I tried to save the preview for each wheel, but it just ended up showing only the steel wheels with the wheel covers, instead of what it was previewing.

I pick the D5's :D

D5 <- this way too short of a post. Expressing it's way too short makes sufficient to post.

i like the Sparco Assetto Gara's, but they only come in bronze and black

so the D5's, what size are you thinking

I had to go back & look up what sizes the D5 are in. My only choice would be 14". Well, at least I wouldn't have to mess with the speedpmeter. I would still need the new tpms programmed, though... The Kosei's remind me of my dad's TSW's in a way. When I first started to look at wheels, I liked the Elbrus, but I disliked how they had to put their name into one of the spokes. And, if I remember right, the D5 is the cheapest of the 3. That's another reason why I would choose them over the other 2.

only 14" :(

Yeah. I wouldn't have minded going up an inch or 2 if it was there. But I like those D5's the more I look at them over the other 2.

The Kosei K1 are very lightweight, which is always a good thing. But if you're only talking about 14s, then the other 2 couldn't be that much heavier.

Which wheels did you end up going with? I'm looking at the exact same wheels to improve look while reducing the weight of my steelies.

I see it's been a while, I kinda forgot about this thread completely. I have yet to get the wheels, I have some personal issues that are in the way of me getting the wheels (won't really get into it). Plus, not having a job makes it a little hard to even pay for them. But I do think that I will get the D5's when I get the money. Still the best looking ones, imo. I think that I'll wrap those babies with the Michelin Pilot Exalto AS tires (those are all season, and the best tires that look good). But, with shipping & handling, as well as adding on the TPMS sensors, my total is over $900. At least Tire Rack does the balance and mount for free.

After my dad's Pontiac got wrecked, I was being a smart ass and asked him if I could have his TSW Mondellos (wrapped in Toyo Proxes) for the Aveo. Sadly, I think 18 inch wheels are just a tad bit too large for an Aveo. And, while those were nice on his Pontiac, I have a hard time seeing those Mondellos in a size that would fit for the Aveo. Let alone on the Aveo, period.
