I'm so torn in between the two...

I was looking at some chrome alternatives and I got it down to these two wheels that are both 17x7.5 and weigh less than 19 lbs each...

1] Enkei ZR1 SBC (offset 35, 18 lbs, $988 )
Pic 1
Pic 2

2] Falken Explicit (offset 42, 16.94 lbs, $716)
Pic 1
Pic 2

trdtcpr, do you or your friend have any pix?

Yeah, I really like the looks of the Enkei over the Falken; the only reason I'm even giving the Falken a chance is because of it's lower price and lower weight, and a lot of people pay higher price for a lower weight... but of course they just had to make it look...

Oh yeah, and many thanks for the bday wishes.

i think the second rim is just too flashy for a tC. If we had luxury cars that had flash ide go with that one. For the tC ...ide go with the first choice hands down.
