Wheel Experts Needed : 26" Suggestions

[baggedlvintegra]

Yeah I noticed the cap difference between the Santorini and Santorini II, which I don't prefer. I think in most applications the lug cap looks cheap, I prefer clean lines all the way through the hub area and exposed tight lug holes. I figured maybe Blazed saw the Santorini's because his description fit those more and they seem to be more common. Went to a local big wheel dealer today to see if by some random miracle they had some Santos but of course no luck. I'm really liking that wheel, just want to see it in full 26" in person before I would pull the trigger. That's doubtful though. Here is how I think I would like the Santo's best, styled like the swirled Forgiato's I posted earlier (brushed face, white lip and white spoke windows)...or do the all brushed spokes no white window look better?



main reason I like the white window because from the side the white spoke window would roll cleanly into the white lip with a straight clean line whereas a brushed window creates a zig zag pattern on the lip where the spoke meets the face, if that makes sense

Yah I didn't see the santo now seeing them side by side.

I think the regular brushed windows will look better than painted windows.
My next wheels will have a chrome lip and complete brushed face. I love the semi shine the brushed finish gives.

yup the brushed finish against chrome looks classy IMO. I fell in love with this combo on my first set of "real wheels" IForged on my BMW...

You have proven yourself as one with very good taste with cars after seeing those lol!

Haha now you should be banned.
When I see u2 wheels I always wonder "wtf?"
The other day I saw a murder style Avalanche with 26s at night. I pulled closer only to see they were U2s, then I pulled off mad for even wasting my time.
I can't bring my self to recommend those wheels to anyone. They are decent looking wheels though.
If you're a real baller you can get the D2 forged VS9 wheel. It looks like the U2s (and the KMC Brodie), but have the class and quality to be on an Escalade.

Those wheels are awesome, except for the indentions in the spokes near the hub! That totally kills it for me...thats why I'm in love with the U2 55 I think because they are all clean lines, just simple. For some reason I just have this fascination with doing the 55s with a huge pearl white lip

Lol well at least you have not always had them. Plus, me and you know 2013 is going to be a good year!

How about the Vellano VTQ wheels then?
