Hello all. I need help here please!.
After much research, Motegi is a better brand this days, but I can't affort it. Over $200 a piece. That's a lot. So I have 3 more choices. Maybe you guys can help me if you know anything about reputation, weight, performance.

Option 1: Drifz 520 SL 15x7 +35mm offset ??lbs. Silver

Option 2: 5-Zigen FN01R-C 15x7 +33mm offset 14.5 libs. Silver.

Option 3: Voxx MG 15x7 +20mm (avaliable, I guess) ?? lbs. Silver

The Traklites without a doubt for the lightness,being forged, and I think they look good. The Borbets are too heavy for their size and in my opinion,dont look that great.

I like both! I like the Traklites but Borbet looks solid. I think anyone will look good on my Xb.

Yeah... Motegi Racing looks good. The weight is a very big plus.

I like the FNORs the best. But give me bump about Motegi, I just got a sweet deal on my FF7s.

The 5Zigens for sure. I have them and love them. Much more reputable name than the other two,plus they are made in Japan. They are lightweight, strong and reasonably priced. Easy to clean also. Check out DiscountTireDirect.com. I have gotten very good service from them. I highly recommend the silver color in these wheels because they are anodized rather than painted like the rest of the colors. The finish is much more durable.

Thank you blue_06tc. I think my box will look good. I will have to get some centercaps, right?

They should come with center caps, at least mine did.
