- So you wanna spice up the look and the feel of your ride
with a brand new set of wheels and tires,
so you hop on the old, reliable Google
and attempt to find wheels for your vehicle.
I got the hiccups.
And then you're quickly bombarded by misleading information,
no-name wheel brands that don't even list a wheel weight,
and thousands upon thousands of options
until you just get so damn frustrated that you quit looking,
when all you really wanted was to find out which one
is gonna give you the most amount of value
without depleting your entire savings account.
Well, you're in luck because today we're gonna go over
exactly that and discuss what we think
are the best budget wheels.
What's going on, guys?

or miss out on your chance to win all kinds of cool stuff.
And right now, for the first time ever,

and we're doing all of this to help raise money

So if you wanna help out a badass charity,
get some sick apparel,
and get entered in to win a set of wheels, tires,
suspension, and another set of wheels and a gift card,
head over to fitmentindustries.com to show your support now.
Let's get started.
Just to clarify, this list is in no particular order
and will range from just under that $700 range a set
all the way up to about 12, $1,300 a set
and has both cast and rotary form wheels.
So now that that's out of the way,
let's talk about the Konig Ampliform.
The Konig Ampliform is a fantastic bargain
for more reasons than just one.
First of all, just look at this damn thing.
It's a fantastically designed wheel
with its split six spokes.
A concave face and some depth worked in
by adding some milling around the spokes,
as well as giving a definitive step lift with some text,
which says "Flow form" because this wheel is...
Well, it's flow form.
It's gonna be one of the lighter wheels on this list,
which is awesome,
especially when you consider
the price point for these things
offers a ton of value for the money.
An 18 by 8.5 is gonna be about $1,012.
You can actually step it all the way up
to a 20 by frigging 11,
which reminds me that the larger wisps
with the more aggressive offsets
are going to get what they call a B-profile,
which has even more aggressive concavity.
Wow.
The Ampliform truly is a damn near universal wheel
with tons of sizing and concave options
with a lightweight construction
for a really reasonable amount of money.
Moving on, let's take a look at the XXR 555.
This is gonna be the wheel of choice
for that person who wants that crazy deep look
with a super concave face
and lots of whip on a fairly tight budget.
The XXR 555 will run you about $720 for a massive 18 by 10,
and it's probably gonna be the most aggressive wheel
on this list from a dish or a lip perspective.
Now, I know a lot of you scoff
at the brand and its ridiculously low price,
but there's nothing wrong with XXR.
The reason these wheels can be had for so cheap
is because this is a fully cast wheel
with a multi-lug bolt pattern.
And what that does is essentially cuts the need
to produce and inventory their options in half.
And then with a fully cast wheel,
production time also doesn't take as long,
and those savings get passed down to the consumer.
They still have to meet the same regulations
as the rest of them,
so you're not gonna see a real difference
in physical metal quality.
So if you're on a really strict budget and you dig the look,
this would be a great choice for you.
Next off, let's take a look at the Artisa art form Titan.
Now this is an in-house wheel brand that we created,
and it's an absolute beautifully simplistic
six spoke wheel design.
I really enjoy how the spokes thin out
as they reach the outside of that lip,
and then the directional design works really well here.
With that, this is the only directional wheel on this list,
and is genuinely truly directional.
So when you get a set of four,
you're actually receiving two different wheels,
one pair for each side.
You're also gonna see some concavity in this design,
especially as you run
with a more aggressive width and offset,
but here again,
you're gonna get that flow form manufacturing process,
making this thing pretty damn light.
The 18 by 9.5 is gonna come in just over 19 pounds
and is going to run you just about $1,080.
For that kind of weight,
these wheels are in incredible value.
Now this next one is actually one
of our hottest selling wheels.
It has been for some time now.
The AVID1 AV6 has been an absolutely killing the game
as of late.
And it is the cheapest wheel on this list as well,
at just $696 for a set of four, 18 by 9.5,
which absolutely blows my mind.
So obviously, at this price point,
this is going to be a fully cast wheel,
but I'm pretty surprised
with this wheel's 22.8 pound weight,
especially with the six spoke wheel
that has pretty meaty spokes at that.
So know it's not necessarily light,
but it is for a cast piece.
Anyway, this wheel is gonna go a long way
in the looks department,
with its deep concavity, large lip,
and overall aggressive nature of this wheel's design,
and for not a whole lot of money at that.
Up next is a cheap entry
into one of the most prestigious wheel brands on the planet,
and that is gonna be the BBS SX from their design line.
BBS's design line consists of cast wheels
that keep all of the quality that you get
with the rotary forged or fully forged wheels,
but in cast form from BBS.
The BBS SX is no different.
The SX is a fantastic looking split five spoke wheel
that retains that full BBS DNA in its design
and in its paint quality and quality control overall.
But you can get into it for half the cost
of some of their rotary forged stuff.
For just $1,140, you can get into an 18 by 8.5 BBS wheel
that's gonna look absolutely fantastic
and is a great way to buy into the BBS brand
without completely breaking the bank.
Hitting another rotary forged wheel here
from another super-popular wheel brand,
you know damn well we couldn't get through this list
without covering the Enkei Raijin.
With it's ultra aggressive split seven spoke design,
concave face, and clever lip design,
it's hard to argue with a wheel of this stature
based on looks alone, but you're also looking
at that rotary forged manufacturing process
that's also gonna give you some lightweight attributes.
And at just $916 per set of four 18 by 9.5s,
this wheel presents a ton of value for the money.
And here we're landing on another Artisa art form wheel,
but this time it's gonna be the Kinetic.
This one is a five spoke directional wheel.
The face itself does also have a little bit of concavity
to give us some aggressiveness,
and the details around the wheel here
give it some nice depth as well,
with the milling on the spokes
in this clean step lip in the flat center cap.
It's just a straight up classy looking wheel.
This bad boy is also rotary formed.
This thing weighs in just 19.5 pounds
for the $1,080, 18 by 9.5,
and it just blows my mind that you can get a wheel
that looks like this with this kind of weight behind it
for this kind of money.
It's just crazy.
And lastly, we couldn't get through this list
without talking about the Cosmis Racing XT-206R.
The XT-206R is a universal good looker
that comes in tons of different sizes,
but it's probably most notable for its wide variations
with aggressive offsets
because this wheel can get incredibly concave
extremely quickly.
I mean, really, if you go with an 18 by 11,
you're looking at probably one of the deepest
concave face designs under, like, a $2,000 price point.
And since they are so aggressive,
you can really toss them at just about anything,
and it will have an angry racy appearance.
Now being fully cast, these are going to weigh in
at about 24 pounds for that 18 by 11,
which is on the underside of average
for something this wide,
and it's gonna run you about $1,260,
which, for a wheel with such presence,
is a really solid price point.
This is a wheel that's gonna take
that functional look of your ride to the next level
for very reasonable cost.
