ive been in the market for new wheels for a few weeks now and i stumbled across these wheels at edgeracing.com....I did some research on this company and it appears they are very popular with the VW/Audi crowd....just wondering what you guys think about these wheels on an IIP.

The closest thing to these wheels on an IIP tC is this RSX i found haha

Nice.

I like them.

oh and theyre only $102 per wheel and they weigh 19 lbs for the 17 X 7 w 35 offset. there is also a model without the two peice look that weighs 18 lbs. All the posts ive read about these wheels say they have no problems with durability at all so im hoping they dont sound too good to be true.

I was looking at that.. but I was thinking... how often it's true when it comes to cars that we get what we pay for.. plus I've never heard of FLIK before

I had FLIK knockoffs of Team Dynamics TDR-1 wheels. They were 17x7 and weighed 15lbs or something like that and were also about $120/piece. Too bad edgeracing stopped carrying them.

FLIK is an underdog brand, but I had no issues with the wheels and haven't heard anybody complain about them after my recommendation. I think the only place that sells them is edgeracing.com, thus not very mainstream.

Not bad, but are they true 2-piece or are those fake rivets?

I like them.

I like them, but the question is, how much do they weigh?????

 

[phungy]

I think they will look good on your IIP. And you can't argue with that price for some pretty light wheels.

I was also looking at getting some Flik wheels, but they do not make any wheels in 17 x 8.5 with 5 x 100 bolt pattern and a +42mm offset. So it looks like I will need to sell a kidney to get the 5zigens.

Aren't you worried about rubbing? I was rubbing with 18x8.5 +40s shod with 225s! I'm assuming you're going for 245s, which would only rub worse... The much safer bet is 17x8.0 +45 or +48 with 245s.

I just got the new Modified Mag. EdgeRacing has them. THey're the Flik Wasp's. $599 for 17" wheel/tire combo, $899 for 18" combo.
