Wheel Advice

Need wheel advice. I know the final decision is up to me and I'm the one who has to live with them everyday but I want your input since I'm on the fence. Leave mine stock for free or spend $1,000 on a brand new set of premium black wheels with TPMS and everything?

or stock:

Why do you want to change from one stock wheel to another stock wheel? I do like the other stock wheel as far as styling goes, but most people want to have wider tires than stock for performance, handling and putting the power to the ground. What I'm asking is what do you want to get for your money? There are a lot of non stock options out there and you can always transfer the tpms to your new rims....

While I like the left ones a bit better, I'm like Trumpetlon, I would spend the money on some good looking aftermarket wheels. There's a ton of nicer ones out there. However, you are correct. Your money, your car, get whatever will make you happy. In the end that's what counts. Good luck.

If you're picking between just those 2 wheels, the ones on the left look WAAAYYYYY better.

I hear you guys. I think most people just don't like the idea of stock things on their cars. I'd wager if a big named aftermarket company were selling those under a different name people would think differently. I just don't like the gt500 style busy wheels. However, I have always been a sucker for 5 star rims. Also, having to buy the TPMS and everything sucks.

I'd go with a different setup other than stock as well. You could also sell your setup for a few hundred when your new wheels come in.

If you are sticking to the stock wheels I prefer the ones on the right. But I do like the aftermarket set you found better.

If you like the 5 spoke go with the Foose rims. I was the same way and almost went with another factory rim till I saw these. Plus I'm running much wider tires.
