i think my car looks just fine with the rotiforms. 650 a wheels is a bit much for the sonic

 

[MrSnuggles]

If i looked correctly, I only saw one aftermarket wheel sonic, that was a sedan. I know for a fact there are more sedan sonics, with wheels. Why do none of them post? If i had wheels i would. :/

It seems like the sedan owners bought theirs more for practicality and tend to be less aggressive when it comes to modding.

Well i like the practicality ex. the trunk, but i personally preferred the look of sedans slammed, over HB imo. Until i a) get a better job or b)win the lottery, i want to lower my car super low, and i know some vendors and other outside sources said they were working on lower for sonic, especially for the back. See my favorite expression is Low and Slow, until i can afford it, i cannot back that expression up. So maybe im being slightly biased, saying i would like to see more sedans over HB with aftermarket? idk. just rambling now.
To each their own right?

Kodiak, Forgeline, Fikse, Kinesis, Bogart, Real, and HRE can also build wheels for any bolt pattern. They are also as expensive as CCW.

I'd like some Bogarts for track wheels.

 

[theenico]

Bogart and Real are the least expensive out of the ones I just posted.

Which of those mfg'ers are more geared towards lightweight designs?

 

[M2-Motoring]

HRE usually at least 2x the price of ccw =P lol

in all honesty i believe rotiform, 1552, and other cast niche wheel companys would be the best bang for buck on wheels. Going full forged or multipiece doesnt make any sense for a sub 20k car.

 

[theenico]

For a 15" drag setup I would go with Bogart or Real. Keizer and Weld are two more I forgot about. If it were me, I'd get the Reals. Their website sucks, but they're nice on the phone and build a nice wheel for a good price.

For all out lightness, Keizer can build you a 3 piece wheel with a Mg center. They spin their shells pretty thin also. DO NOT use them on the street. They WILL bend.

but... not all of them.

i bought sedan because of trunk space, love the hatchbacks but i play hockey and my stuff won't fit in the hatch
but I'm pretty dead set on some serious mods down the road seeing as I don't have a loan on it. Track day monster anyone?

And to think I was all alone.

Sedan don't look like they where an after thought, the rear end on the HB looks like they said "oh crap we ran out of metal just finish it here."

I'm not knocking the Sedan. I can carry crazy amounts of stuff in my hatch, but compromise the ability to carry rear passengers when doing so.

But I rarely drive my car with more than just one passenger, so it's not an issue for me. I hauled 12 bags of potting soil the other day and it was easy to load and unload. That's why I love hatches.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

IMHO the hatch just needs an extra 8-12" behind the seats and I would have actually thought about a HB.

The Sedan tails are pretty fugly.
