Which wheel should I get?

Okay, I've been searching around some and have chosen these two wheels so far. I am big fan of the 7 spoke wheel and a 17" diameter. Just wanted to see what you all thought and if you had some other suggestions.

rs7s are nice, get those. i have mr7s and they suck. really heavy and they jsut get old looking really quick plus every honda has them on their car. enkeis are a lot nicer than motegis anyway.

Where would be the cheapest place to get the Enkeis? At wheelsnext.com, they ship for free, you get free Goten Springs and free Rim repair for a year. Anywhere else?

I voted for the RS7s also. I like the thinner spokes. Try whalentire.com for a good price!

Okay, I've changed my mind now. Here are the two wheels that I want.

Enkei OR52 - 17/7 $128 - whalentire.com 18.1 lbs


Enkei RS6 - 17/7 $122 - whalentire.com 20.45 lbs


And I will wrap them in this rubber:



Falken Azenis ST-115 215/40/17 - onlinetires.com $80/tire

Which wheel should I get now? I've seen the RS6 on like 4 different cars here in the last 3 days. Mostly on Hondas. I've never seen the OR52s on anything yet. So what do you guys think?

i really want to get hte or52s, think they look the best in gunmetal/black. however if you are gettign silver the rs6 would look the best imo. check out cerfurs registry i believe he has the rss6s.

I would have to get silver cuz I dont think gunmetal looks good on a black car. IMO. If someone has pictures showing otherwise, I'd appreciate it.

pgmike - I'll take a look at cerfurs' registry and see what he has.

IMO black wheels with a polished lip would look sick on your car.

i agree, the black or52s would look awesome i think. you can get them on www.wheelsnext.com for 800shipped with tires. they are 17s, but i dont know what kind of tires they come with. i emailed them asking that and they never answered.

Cool, thanks for trying to find out. I've always been a little leary about those wheel/tire packages just cuz I've heard the tires are crap.

Anyone have a picture of what a black wheel with polished lip on a bacl car would look like? Can anyone photo shop good? I want to see it cuz I just picture too much black ya know?
