(Alex shouting)
- Sound the alarm, sound the alarm!
You know what time it is?
- Top 12 wheels of 2022 baby. (baby crying)
- Hell yeah. - We cut down the list
'cause it was gettin' really long.
So we're giving you the narrow, the focus,
the calculated list of 2022,
the most popular wheels we see sold on our website.
And then a little sprinkle and a little razzle dazzle
of our favorite wheels.
- Absolutely.
So.
Four year anniversary.
I got you somethin'.
- What'd you get me? (Dakota laughs)
- Well you know it's only right you know
in every other video we've done.
- Are you proposing?
Oh.
Yes! - Yeah!
(Alex laughs)
- That's right we chug a beer every single time.
So Gels are you ready to get into this?
(can clicks)
- Yes sir.
(dramatic music)
- Oh it's pouring out everywhere.
- All right. - Even the wheel wall.
Ready? - Yep.
Mine was empty pretty fast
'cause like it's all over the floor.
- And the wheels.
- All right let's get into this.
- Woo!
(Dakota burps) (Alex laughs)
(metal dings) - Starting of the list
we're doing it right.
Now this is an oldie but a goodie,
I think it's made it on almost all of our lists.
We do have some new ones for this year,
but we have number 12, the Konig Hypergram.
Now this is a light weight
more performance oriented wheel.
It's strong, it's flow formed.
- It's insanely-- - Looks nice.
Yeah and it truly is light.
What's nice about this it's big brake friendly
and not only that, it's available in a ton of sizes
which is why this one is so popular.
All the way from 15 inches
to 18 inches. - For your Miata guys.
- Yep. - Yeah.
Miata guys love this wheel.
It's super light and it comes in the sizes they need,
and yeah it goes all the way up to 18 so.
- And it makes me really hyper.
(Alex laughs)
- Coming in number 11 on the list,
we have the SSR GTX04.
Now this is the newest edition to SSR's GTX lineup.
This came out just over a year or so ago,
kinda the tail end of 2020 if I remember correctly.
- The newest in the line up
for the GTX series. - Right yeah.
And it is absolute killer.
It's a slappin' design.
Multi spoke design, we got some super thin spokes on here.
When I'm looking into it,
they made this cross section right here,
so if you were to cut this down the spoke
they made it as thin as they possibly could
which saves a ton of weight.
It's still super strong.
And of course they got a ton of milling on the backside
near the back pad and of course on the back of the spokes
to save weight there as well.
And of course you know a lot of people know SSR
for their multi piece line of wheels,
but these go just as hard.
These are just as an amazing set of wheels
for a mono block wheel that you can get.
And you know it's a well deserved spot,
at number 11 on the list.
- SSR slaps.
Okay next up at number 10 on the list
we have the Rotiform KPS.
Unfortunately we don't have this one in house
so place the B roll!
This is a wheel meant for Euro,
'cause obviously Rotiform's definitely more focused
on the Euro side of things.
And it looks good on those big body bitches.
I'm talking Audi's, I'm talking Volkswagen's.
You're gonna see this come in 18 to 20 inch sizes,
so it's definitely those bigger boy sizes
that looks good on bagged cars or stance cars in general.
It has you know just a slim spoke design
that looks pretty simplistic. - Wide sick.
- But when popped on a car.
Woo!
Looks really good and fills out those wheel arches.
Well wouldn't be a wheel list
without talking about Rotiform.
- Our number nine on the list we got the Enkei Risen.
Now this is kinda like the underdog
in the Enkei wheel lineup.
I know like the RBF1 takes like the top spot.
Really kinda overshadows everything else in their lineup.
- Sure. - But the Risen
is just as cool.
All right it's manufactured
using the same exact processes as RPF1.
So you get those same lightweight properties
and everything like that.
They're MAT technology or most advanced technology
(Dakota laughs) is like the weirdest
acronym I've ever heard
for a manufacturer process. - Most advanced technology.
- It's the most Japanese thing I've ever heard.
But yeah they manufacture it the same way they do the RPF1,
and you get a different spoke design.
So you know like a lot of your friends out there
got the RPF1.
You want something a little different
but you still want something that's performance oriented.
It's a little something to get you that street cred.
And it comes in less than the RPF1 as far as price
so here you have number nine. (Dakota singing)
The Enkei Risen.
- Get you some.
Number eight on the list is a heater.
We're coming in with the raised line up.
We're talking about the Gram Light 57DR.
- Must be light it's invisible.
- Cut to B roll!
This is a fantastic Japanese wheel.
Anything from RAYS is obviously
gonna be a little more performance oriented.
A little more higher end on the price
but you're paying for that quality and that timeless look.
These wheels look phenomenal on anything.
As you can see we've kinda went
for more of a functional use for these wheels.
But again like if you threw these on a stance car
it's gonna look good too, so it's very universal.
And the awesome thing about Gram Lights
is they come in amazing colors,
from the red to the blues to the gun metals.
They turn out amazing and they're super cool looking.
And again, performance in mind.
We're gonna have big break clearance,
we're gonna have light weight,
and you get that street cred of the RAYS name.
The Gram Lights on your car.
Big scene points there.
(upbeat music)
No need to squeeze wheel boxes and loose tires in your car
just to drive (buzzer dings)
around and spend even more money
for them to get mounted and balanced.
Hey!
Make sure to check out our wheel and tire packages.
And not only that,
you can save on mounting and balancing.
Not only that but we got free shipping too.
Get to work, what are you doing?
Get down.
Get outta here.
Come on now!
- You know I'm thinking we need to make an order
of these Japanese wheels
because we can't seem to find 'em on the wheel wall
and we should change that.
But coming up next, we got the ole Volk TE37.
You know it had to end up.
- There it is. - Somewhere on the list.
It has to I mean it's like
the number one wheel of all time.
Like it will forever be probably on this list.
But the TE37 absolutely iconic.
They work for pretty much everything,
and you can get 'em in a bunch of different variations.
You can get 'em with a little more lip,
you can get 'em with a little more concave,
a bunch of different
variations of them. - Everything.
- You get 'em in insane colors,
again RAYS kills it with the colors.
And Volk you know they do an incredible job
getting these wheels to look absolutely incredible.
And you can pretty much put them on everything.
I mean you know it goes without saying,
TE37's look good on everything, it's absolutely true,
but especially (Alex snaps fingers) S2000's.
- Yeah and not only that but we've been workin' hard
to get more inventory of those.
So we're not at our warehouse right now
but our warehouse is packed with some TE37's
and that's been huge for us, and we're really excited.
Next up number six on the list, brand new for for Kansei.
We're talking about the Astro.
And it gets here Monday and we're not
filming on Monday so. - Dang it.
- We missed this one by this much,
but we'll throw up the B roll.
Check it out, this wheel looks super dope.
It's exciting to see Kansei drop a new wheel,
and I think this one's gonna be a huge hit for 2022.
It's a mono block wheel, looks really good.
The white finish in my opinion, oh hot damn.
And I'm a little biased because I seen that
on some (Alex laughs) A90 Supra's and.
It got me all pumped up and razzed up for the Astro.
We're gonna be getting those in shortly
and I'm excited to get my hands on 'em
and just lick it and stuff but.
I mean test it.
Next.
(Alex laughs)
- Breaking into the top five of the list!
We've gone through some big wheels right?
Some big hitters-- - Yeah big.
- In the wheel industry.
We're talking about Volk, we got RAYS, we got Enkei,
we got all of those, SSR.
But you know not a lot of us have all the money
for all that big name.
All right and again. - Heard that.
- We've seen the AVID1 AV20 kinda like come out on top
when it comes to like the affordable
wheel lineup. - Entry level wheel yeah.
- Right so the entry level wheel lineup
you're looking for your first set of wheels,
you don't wanna go spend you know,
two grand on a set of wheels,
so a lot of people end up with like something
like the AVID1 AV20 and get the same fit menu.
You can get a lot of the similar finishes
and things like that, but you're only spending you know
less than a thousand dollars for a set of wheels,
which is more in a lot of people's budget.
So that's why you know we see this one
higher up on the list just 'cause like a lot of people
will go pick these up versus
a two-thousand dollar set of wheels.
Not saying there's anything wrong with that,
but that's just how it is.
- Absolutely. - So the AVID1 AV20
I think we'll see move a ton again this year.
You know the finishes are good, they fit a lot of vehicles,
they did a good job picking out the sizes and offsets
and things like that.
So yeah, definitely one that we'll see a lot of in 2022.
- True that.
All right now number four on the list is a classic.
We talked about it
a little bit early. - There it is.
- Here it is.
- There it is. - It's kind of
like the TE37. - Again come out on top.
- It's the Enkei RPF1.
Another one that has historically made this list,
and will continue to make the list
because of its extremely light weight,
it weighs nothing, it looks good, it looks timeless.
You're gonna see these on the auto cross cars.
When you go to the meet you're gonna see these
on car show cars too.
They go on everything and you'll probably see a lot of 'em
because they come in at a pretty solid price.
You can get 'em in every single size you'd ever want.
- The finishes are fire too. - And yeah
it's a timeless wheel,
it fits right in with those other Japanese wheels
that are on this list that just look good on everything.
They're a decent price.
Good quality.
It's gonna be on the list every year.
You knew it was coming.
- RPF1.
- Coming in hot number three, the Anovia Elder.
You're probably thinking
what the heck is an Anovia Elder?
Well it's Artisa, we're now Anovia now,
and this is considered the Artisa collection
of Anovia wheels.
So we've moved past just directional wheels
over there at Anovia.
And wanted to make sure that you know
we kept the wheels that you guys loved
as the directional designs as the Artisa collection.
So we're labeling this as the Anovia Elder,
but it's part of the Artisa collection of the wheels.
But this one. - Sir.
- Was an absolute heater in 2021.
You guys ate this one up.
- Oh yeah. - So thank you guys so much
for you know following us and following our you know journey
as we release our own wheels and things like that,
it's been a incredible time.
But the Elder has taken the cake
as the number one wheel of last year for Anovia.
And it's obviously
for a lot of reasons. - And tell us why Gels.
- We got pretty much every size known to man
from like 18's and 19's,
we're gonna be releasing more sizes this year
to expand to like the mark five Supra's, BMW's, Audi's,
we got 20's coming.
- Oh baby. - It's gonna be
a big-- - And they're light too.
- And they're super light. - This is stupid light.
This is a big one.
- Yeah so lightweight.
Obviously directional we took
the Deco directional into consideration here.
So you got a left and right side spoke
both side of the cars look the same.
You know it does it all super super well
and it comes in at an incredibly affordable price point
right around eleven-hundred dollars depending on the size.
And yeah you know they just continue to crush it.
- All right number two on the list.
We are getting to the final ones here.
And you're probably thinking Dakota, Gels,
how would you not, there's one brand in mind
and it just hasn't came on the list.
How could this be?
It's here.
It's the Work Emotion D9R. - You're playing
with my emotions. - You need to put
the Work on the list.
Do Work baby, rest in peace big black,
I miss him every day. - Aw.
- Anyways the Emotion D9R is a classic
and looks amazing on everything.
Again these Japanese wheels, big brake clearance,
slim spokes, and quality material.
It looks phenomenal and you can get that Work name
without breaking the bank.
All right you're not buying those three piece Meister's,
get a nice mono block set up
that is gonna look amazing on your car
and it's gonna be functional
whether you want it to be functional
or even take it to the show.
You know all race cars can be show cars,
but not all show cars can be rame carm.
- You said that backwards.
- Race car you said backwards.
- Race car you can say backwards or forwards.
- That's the joke. - Yeah get out,
I'm ready for number one.
- You know what's a real bummer?
- What?
- We don't get to get like a lot of new wheels,
especially of late, there are a lot of these wheels,
they've been out
for a couple years or so. - Sure.
- A couple of 'em like recently came out,
but like nothing really new.
- Okay.
- So we made something new!
We made something lightweight,
we made something to kick back to the 90's JDM era.
We made it chrome in 2022!
The Anovia Kano coming in at number one spot for 2022!
I am super pumped about this wheel if you can't tell.
This thing has been a work in progress
for the majority of 2021.
To cut as much weight as possible,
this is officially coming in as our lightest weight wheel
for Anovia wheels. - Which is insane.
- Rivaling the Enkei RPF1,
beating the TE37
in some places. (Dakota shouts)
And, and, and, we heard in the auto crew,
they were all in our comments in our DM's,
they're like 15 inch wheels please (Alex mumbles).
We heard you, we got you,
these are coming in 15 by eight.
We got the 17, 17 and eight, 17 by nines,
and of course eighteens from 18 by 18 and a half
all the way up to 18 by 10 and a half.
So we're gonna see these expected a lot on Miata's,
S chassis, things like that out in the drift community
'cause that's what we were kinda targeting after.
So these took a lot of the principles,
the same principles that built Artisa last year
and evolved into Anovia.
So we got you know the recessed lip
in the front for durability,
we got the extremely light weight,
we got the stuff shaved away on the back
on the back of the spokes and the back pad.
And of course killing it with the finishes.
I am super excited to bring in
chrome again for 2022. - It's wild.
- You know you don't see a ton of it out there anymore,
but I absolutely love it, I think it's absolutely killer.
So the Anovia Kano, absolutely excited about.
We're gonna be coming in right around that same price point
as all our other wheels around a thousand
to eleven-hundred dollars
looking at price. - Oh not bad at all!
- Probably a little bit more for the chrome running around
like eleven-hundred or so. - Oh okay okay.
- More on the higher end
but still. - Still not bad.
- Still not terrible for an 18,
up to an 18 by 10 and a half inch.
Super light weight, strong wheel in chrome in 2022.
So Dakota with that being said,
let's ring in the new year.
- Alrighty that is the top 12 wheels of 2022.
If we missed any make sure to comment down below
'cause I'm gonna go through and read 'em,
I wanna hear what you guys like.
But let's wheel slap this one out.
(Dakota slaps hands)
(metal ringing)
Happy new year.
- Happy new year.
- [Dakota] We done.
(chattering in distance)
- [Alex] Hello.
