For some, it's all about the weight...for others, it's all about the look. For me it's 50/50...which has led me to these 3 choices for Trigger's next set of wheels. The TSW's weigh around 3 pounds more per corner, but look better IMO. I'm 33% Interlagos, 33% Apex EC-7, and 34% Panaroma...Whatchthink?



Apex EC-7 (Profile 1):
F: 18x8.5" ET35 - 20.10 lbs
R: 18x9.5" ET58 - 20.65 lbs



TSW Interlagos:

F: 19X8 5-120 ET35 - 23.85 lbs +/-
R: 20X9.5 5-120 ET48 - 23.60 lbs +/-



TSW Panaroma:

F: 20x9.0 5 120 ET35 - 23.85 lbs
R: 20x9.5 5 120 ET48 - 23.6 lbs

Apex would look good on that color.

I voted for the Apex wheels, but they are similar to what I saw on your car a few months ago. Hmmm..I thought your profile pic had your current wheels, but your profile pic shows the Sport 19's..I think?

Damn you, lol, EC-7 is my next wheel!

Only difference is I plan to go with GunMetal and then do the 18x9.5 +43 in the rear. That different rear will be profile 2, so a tad more concave (which I really dig).

When you guys want to get rid of your current set-ups let me know. I'm in the market (will be) & mod money is going to be gettin low, cam, heads, intake going to happen in a month or 2. I don't think I'll be buying new this year.

Steve, who do you want to do your cam/heads through?
 
#10 ·
I'm going to do the dod delete & cam. Going to send the heads to Rick, going to get his modified intake & have him do the tb as well.

Apex are hot. Trying to justify it as we speak. Have a feeling I will have a harder time selling my Camaro rims and tires. They may have had their time. I was just looking for lighter.

Hmmm, now you have me thinking about wheels again. MUST RESIST.

But I like the first one due to the weight and the rear offset. That rear offset gives you nice options for tires.

Id have to see the Apex on the car but im not a huge fan of them. Im for the panaromas. Ive been liking the 5 spoke look (especially if you upgrade brakes)

I voted the Interlagos. :)
Hope you don't mind me saying, but the first wheels look like your current wheels. Out of all the wheels, I kinda still like you VMR's the most. But, I would go this way with my preference: 1.) Interlagos, 2.) Panoramas, 3.) Apex

Good Luck,

EB :)

Interlagos. The reason the tsw weighs more is cus you're comparing 18s to 20s. Should be same or less when comparing same sizes

I'll throw my $.02 in the pot and go with the TSW Interlagos. As stated before, the Apex EC-7's looking strikingly similar to the VMR's you're currently running. The Interlagos strike a nice balance between all three wheels. Having brought a set of Breyton wheels and not being able to clean them on a regular basis makes me shudder at the thought of wheels with so many crevices and spokes. Good luck.
