I am in the market for a new set of wheels. I want to get Fikse, CCW, HRE or other forged type of wheels. What other brands should I be looking at? Also, I notice the narrow bodies do not have a fat lip in the rear as the C4S or turbos. Anyone have a narrow body with a fat lip?

I love the Techart wheel, as the ones you listed are all great wheels, it comes down to your personal taste..........this is why i have four sets of wheels for my car.The bigger lip for the NB is few and far between, i guess just because the space, let us know what you come up with...and Good luck!

This is the only pic I have of my car so far. It is undergoing some changes in the front end (facelift + turbo bumper).

turbo bumper looks funny on narrow body cars - frankenstein ... you gotta do front and rear, but then again, it's still designed for widebodies - save yer money

for your car i'd stick with the Champion RG5s

My front end needs some work done as my front bumper need respray. Also I do not like the orange lights and while I am at it, I wanted to upgrade to the xenon projectors. So far I have gathered all the parts for under $2000. Wheels are next on my list.

what about the BBS LMs, I am totally in love with those. unfortunately for the wide bodies they only come custom made (what I've been told), but they look killer on the NBs. Good luck with the hunt!
