Thinking about getting these wheels for my white CH-R. Thoughts?

Not bad looking, though they could be a pain to clean. Curious what they would look like in motion with those red accents. Going up in size?

 

[jdillard]

Staying with same size because I don't know enough about tires to know how it will effect my ride. I'm not interested in better handling, only comfort as this is my long daily commute vehicle. I also have an FJ Cruiser that has close to 200K miles on it, hence why I have this CH-R now. I like the way it rides now and don't want to interfere with that. I just want to improve the looks from the stock wheels that came with my LE model.

I've narrowed it down to those wheels, vs these

If you clean your car yourself, don't do it. You'll hate your decision after a few washes lol

I prefer the second option but they will still be a pita to clean as others have said. I think white accents will look better on your white car. Much of a difference in price?

About the same. They are both from TireRack and less than $700 for a set of 4. They even sell the Vortex wheels that come on the XLE models for a fraction of what Toyota sells them for, $500 vs $1200.

I settled on the second option. Pics tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing them @jdillard. Should make a big difference in the overall aesthetics of the car. Any idea if you've saved any weight over the factory setup? Might even see a slight improvement in your fuel economy. Great price for a set of aftermarket wheels imo and not surprised to hear about the massive markup from Toyota.

No idea on weight. Fuel economy seems better but hard to tell since I am still getting used to driving her.

Need to wash her soon, but so much rain this week. I have mud guards to install as well, but have to wait on the rain to roll out first.

New wheel setup looks fantastic, great choice. Are the rim accents silver or white? Its kind of hard to tell from these pictures. Hopefully the weather clears up soon so you can get everything looking clean and shiny.

Silver. Still too wet to wash and put mud guards on. The rain let up 2 days ago, but I live 5 miles down a very rural road so still too much mud......

I love these wheels, I was considering putting these on mine. Did you get them and if so, can you share some pics of what you decided on. I think these will look amazing on a CHR, good taste my friend!!!

Thank you, 😀

Just Saw the pics, would you mind taking a few more on a sunny day, want to see them in their grand beauty.

I really like these wheels but wanted to see them on another CHR before I splurged and bought them.

Thank you J Dillard 😀

I'd highly recommend ceramic coating them wheels. Would make cleaning them a lot easier.
