- There's some things out there
that when they just like came out,
first were introduced to the world
that they just became like instant classics.
Things like The Dark Knight, Yo Momma Jokes,
and Totino's Pizza Rolls.
But it didn't stop there, No, it did not,
because just like everything else in the world,
we have our own like car versions of things as well,
including instant classics.
What is going on everyone?
It's Gels from Fitment Industries and today,
we're gonna be going over some of the top five
instant classic aftermarket wheels.
Before we go ahead and get into today's video,
just a quick reminder wheel size and suspension,
where, anybody know it?,
fitmentindustries.com, that's right,
we got it all and of course,
don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already,
and drop a like on the video too,
'cause it helps us out, quite a bit.
And that way we can continue making videos
just like this one.
Anyway, there's one company that is really taking
the European car scene by storm,
within the last decade or so,
it's been Rotiform.
And there is a wheel that they released,
that just seems to just,
kinda hit home, not just to the Euro scene,
but like just pretty much like every car enthusiasts ever.
The Rotiform RSC.
Now you can find the RSC
just about every car that you can possibly imagine.
A multi spoke design that is available
in a pretty affordable cast single piece,
as well as a multi-piece version,
hope you have the money to dish out for something like that.
We've said it before,
we will continue to say it.
The RSC can look good on everything,
and that's something that we're gonna be continuing
to see through, probably the rest of this list of wheels,
is that the reason some of these wheels
have become so popular,
and the reasons why, you know, you see them so much,
it's just because they just work for everybody.
The RSC is a fantastic entry-level.
We have four year Euro cars, JDM, KDM,
and even domestics,
available in one of two finishes,
either silver or gunmetal,
and sizes ranging all the way from 17,
all the way up to 20 inches in diameter.
Odds are, you can probably find an RSC
that's gonna fit your car.
Now we've talked about Enkei RPF1,
like a ton on this channel,
but we're gonna talk about it one more time
and just bear with me.
And why it became such an instant classic
when it comes to aftermarket wheels.
When the RPF1 was first introduced to the world,
it was designed and developed with all the technology
that Enkei had learned from being involved
with the McLaren Honda Formula 1 racing team.
In fact, if you look at the wheels that were ran,
on those cars and the McLaren Honda Formula 1 uses,
you'll see a pretty much exactly the same design
as the RPF1.
A sport 6-spoke,
that we have all known and come to love
throughout the years,
and the reason for the spoke design on the RPF1
is simply because,
it helps achieve a better stress dispersion
throughout the rest of the wheel.
A support, good brake clearance and a timeless phase design,
and not, you know, forget it's extremely light weight.
Like I can not stress how light these wheels are,
it's actually quite amazing.
And that's thanks to Enkei MAT process
that they use to manufacture the RPF1.
The fact that these wheels come in just about
every single size, bolt pattern and offset available,
it's just another helping factor
that points into why the RPF1 has become
such a classic wheel,
as people have been running them on everything
for a long time.
And why they are very popular choice of wheel,
and it's kinda become a running joke,
'cause of being like, an overran wheel,
everyone runs RPF1s,
you know, I still think that we're gonna see it
for a long time.
Wheel number three could probably be in every single list
imaginable when it comes to aftermarket wheels.
I's a wheel that has seemed to just completely
take over the JDM car scene
when it comes to the dream set of aftermarket wheels.
It's the Volk TE37.
Developed by RAYS engineering in 1996,
they truly hit the sweet spot for aftermarket wheels
with the TE37.
A lightweight one piece forged, 6-spoke wheel
that was made to take a beating,
and look absolutely amazing while doing it.
Still made in Japan to this day,
the TE37 has become an icon in the aftermarket wheel world,
and has become a favorite for cars such as R32 GTR,
RX7, in the Honda S2000s.
The wheel itself is actually pretty legendary
to say the least,
it pretty much set the standards
for what performance aftermarket wheels should be.
Fun fact as well,
the name TE37 does actually stand for something,
TE standing for Touring Evolution,
and the 37 representing the 3.7 kilograms
per 15 inch of wheel.
Now you're probably wondering,
why a 15 inch per wheel measurement,
well that's because,
back in the day,
TE37, when it first came out, was a 15 inch wheel.
One of the defining features of the wheels
is obviously this spoke design itself.
Specifically where the spokes meet up with the lip,
the curvature with that spoke design helps with rigidity
as well as offering an insane amount of big brake clearance,
making an ideal wheel for performance driving setups.
The only downside to the TE37, however, it's price.
There's pricey boys,
but you know, it is what it is.
Kind of combining the last two wheels
that we just talked about here,
wheel number four, you can say,
take some of the best features of the last two wheels
and combines them just a little bit.
Another wheel that has been sought after
by the JDM car community,
but at least, it is a little more achievable price wise
than the set of TE37,
and that is the Work Emotion CR-Kiwami.
Sport 5-spoke wheel that offers a ton of concavity.
The spoke to lip design that work offers with the Kiwami,
is one of the reasons why they can achieve this look,
and why it is something that when it was released,
really captured some of the attention
of a lot of the car enthusiasts.
Very popular with the S-Chassis crowd,
the Work Kiwami is just another one of those wheels
by a well known Japanese wheel company,
that looks damn good, gets a job done,
and then again,
we see them pop up on an absolute metric (beep) ton
of different cars.
Like I said, the S-Chassis takes this really well,
the 86, BRZ platforms,
Miatas, GTRs, you name it,
you can probably go find some Work CR Kiwamis on them.
But no means though, are the Work Kiwamis a cheap wheel.
Buy it for around 2000 bucks,
you can get a brand new set of rotary formed work wheels,
you know, that will forever be a classic,
you know like,
note a bad deal.
The close of the day, we have another legend
of the aftermarket world of wheels,
and that is the BBS LM.
The LM was developed by BBS and began mass production
of the wheel in 1994,
with the purpose of supplying wheels
for the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race.
The two piece forged wheels captured the hearts of many,
and it's become one of the most recognizable
wheel designs of all time.
Even coined a classic by BBS themselves.
The element has stood the test of time,
and it's absolutely dominated the Euro and JDM car scene.
I mean, you can find them from BMW's to like R34 GTRs,
to like older GTRs,
so like literally everything,
you can put an BBS LM on it,
and it's probably gonna look damn good.
Again, that downside of being, you know,
a little more of a higher price wheels, similar to the TE37,
if not a little more,
but, you know, they're the BBS LM, there are a classic,
you know a BBS LM when you're looking at it,
we had one here,
Alex literally stole it from the wheel wall
and kept it in his office until we eventually
had to give it back to BBS,
but, you know,
I think he just wanted to kind of keep it forever.
Anyway, I think we sent it back.
It might still be in his office.
But these are just awesome wheels that I think
that we are gonna be seeing for a long time.
And when you think about aftermarket wheels,
you're more than likely gonna be going
after something like that,
and you're gonna be seeing a lot of those similar
design cues, in a lot of wheels that are yet to come.
So let us know under the comments,
what your favorite wheel of all time is,
and what wheel that you think will be a forever classic.
