- When it comes down to money,
pretty much everyone loves to spend it.
Doesn't matter what it is, could be those new Yeezys,
buying a large popcorn when you most definitely know
your ass is only gonna eat a medium,
it's only a quarter more anyway,
but for the most part, a lotta those purchases
can be pretty justifiable.
It starts to not carry much weight
when you try convincing your significant other
that this $4,500 set of wheels is most definitely worth it
because the bolts around the wheel,
you know those little rivets, they're purple and black.
Right, worth gettin'?
No?
Maybe?
'Kay?
Uh, all right.
If you don't have a significant other, I'm sorry,
you can cry while you watch this
and then smile that you don't have to ask permission
to spend silly money on things that look neat.
Don't get me wrong, there's some bangin' wheels out there
if you're lookin' to go all out,
but that's not everyone's cup of tea.
I'm Dakota, itskota.fi on Instagram,
and today we're going to be talking
about best bang-for-your-buck wheels, because hey,
you may lose that argument to spend the same amount on a car
as you would on the wheels alone.
Before we hop into this, we are so damn lucky.
We got to partner with Michelin, Silver's, and Cosmis Racing
to come out with this dope hoodie, all right?
So you pick up the hoodie, you automatically get entered
to win coilovers from Silver's, wheels from Cosmis,
and tires from Michelin.
How (beep) is that brother?
Go do it, all right?
You're missin' out.
Why not?
'Cause at the end of the day,
you get a (beep) hoodie that's awesome,
and you get entered to win all that good stuff,
so let's hop into it.
And of course, as you jump into this video,
don't forget to subscribe
so we can keep making bangin' videos like this,
and if you're feeling motivated to pick up some wheels,
or just drool on your keyboard,
be sure to check out www.fitmentindustries.com,
where we have it all, wheels, tires, and suspension,
both the big bangin' stuff and the stuff for your first car
because we appreciate you.
Going into the best bang-for-your-buck wheels,
we have to start it off with probably the one
that comes to mind almost immediately, Cosmis Racing.
I know we just partnered with 'em, but listen to me.
Cosmis has come up somewhat out of nowhere
in the past few years,
and has gotten insanely popular for a multitude of reasons.
They come in about every size you could possibly imagine,
not only that but their widths and offsets,
out of a cast wheel company, are pretty killer.
If you don't see people buying Cosmis wheels for the sizing,
then it's probably for their finishes.
They come in so many awesome, unique finishes,
and a lot of that has to do with the fact
that people just ask for them.
They have the super cool hyper-bronze on the XT-206R,
that's one of my favorite.
Speaking of which, the XT-206R is a common favorite,
because of its stepped lip-style multicolor windows,
aggressive offset that hits both a good concave look,
and a good lip.
There's not many wheels out there that can do this
without sacrificing something,
but Cosmis has gotten a stranglehold on that
with the entire lineup.
But mostly the XT-206R, and the 006R.
Next up would be another solid, the Rohana RFX lineup.
One of the toughest things with newer cars
is just how massive those wheel wells are.
They are an absolute unit.
So when it comes down to buying 19 to 20 inch wheels
for those potholes of a wheel well,
the options become pretty limited.
Rohana has crushed this with their RFX lineup,
regardless if you're looking at their new wheels
or the RFX 13, 15, 5, 7,
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
Sorry, not all of that is true,
but Rohana's RF lineup is rotary forged,
which means they are light,
which is massively helpful on those big-boy wheels,
because I'm not sure if you ever lifted up
a big ol' cast wheel that's 20 by 10,
but you're gonna wanna die.
(camera clicks) (explosion thuds)
(metal clanks)
Same situation with Cosmis,
but Rohana has some incredible brushing on their wheels,
and because of the thin spokes,
it's an extremely high-end look
without going into the $3,000 range
for the same kind of wheel for your GTR Camaro,
Mustang, AMG, or BMW.
We just got their new stuff on the site too,
which is pretty dang neat.
Moving back to a solid choice would be the Konig lineup.
Both the Ampliform and the Dekagram specifically.
Konig has done an absolutely insane job
in the past few years with their introduction
of their Flow Form lineup, and word on the street
is that they'll be introducing some new wheels at SEMA,
which we're gonna be headin' to pretty quick here.
Konig's wheels attack a solid price point,
coming damn near every bolt pattern possible,
and bridge the function-to-form look extremely well
without being overbearing in design.
Some people don't like the excessiveness
of all the words, numbers, engraving,
and all that which is what Cosmis has
on quite a bit of their wheels.
If that's not for you, Konig is usually your next choice.
Besides, for under $1,000, there's not much else out there
that's gonna look so good both in their itsy-bitsy sizing,
and their big-boy sizing.
Plus, rotary forged, same thing as Rohana above,
they got the ol' rollers, high rate of speed,
press out the metal like (hissing),
and then it gets treated anyway.
Barrel is thin, face is thick, rotary forged,
oh, and hey, they're strong as hell.
Moving forward would likely be the ESR CS lineup,
and for a bang-for-your-buck video,
you cannot talk about ESR.
We used to talk about this brand
just about every other video in 2017 and early 2018,
and they are still just out there making big ol' decisions.
They introduced a three-piece wheel lineup
which is rather affordable, a new forged series
which was their Forge Monoblock lineup,
and although they came into the world making wheels that uh,
well, yeah.
They have began to introduce their own wheel designs
into the CS lineup, which are the cast versions
of their three-piece modular designs.
They're a bit more of a show wheel verse a function,
but ESR CS cast lineup
is a solid bang-for-your-buck wheel brand
because of their availability,
the fact that they have warranties for certain paint
and defect stuff, and also they keep coming out
with new designs year over year.
(claps)
And last but not least,
our last bang-for-your-buck wheel is a little up there,
but probably the most bang-ish wheel you can buy
that carries some insane heritage and quality to it.
That would be the good ol' Work Kiwami.
The Kiwami is the wheel
that practically coined the double five-spoke bend design,
it's a Work wheel,
which get you into the cool real wheel club.
- It's time to stop.
It's time to stop, okay.
No more.
Where the (beep) are your parents?
- I'm kidding, but there is some seriousness
to picking up a set of Work wheels,
because the pedigree of the brand
is one that not many other brands match,
and although they are the top of the wheel list here,
they are still a proper bang-for-your-buck wheel
because of what you're getting for the price,
with most other work wheel sets
being nearly two to three times the price.
However, at $2,000 for a set,
you may still need to ask for some permission
from that ol' significant other.
(whispers) But just do it, do it anyways.
So what do you think
is the best bang-for-your-buck wheels out there
that you love or you're running?
Let us know if we're out of our minds on this list,
because then Max will blame me for pickin' the wrong wheels
and then I'll have to smoke him in ping pong again.
Either way, if you're lookin' for after-market wheels,
tires, or suspension, be sure to check it out

Wheels and all that other good stuff.

and we will see you next time.
