Default Having some trouble deciding on rims...

SO now that the warmth and sun are finally here to stay in NYC, its time to buy some new rims for the new whip. However, i need some opinions. I've decided to go with an 18" rim. (No 19's - city streets arent very fond of them). Anyways, i want to know what everyone thinks of the choices ive narrowed it down to. Keep in mind when commenting, I don't care if anyone thinks my choices are played out, or if they are too expensive, a few hundred extra for different rims is worth it IMO. I think i'm either going with Widetracks or Crosshairs. But anyways, thanks for the opinions and comments

R1 RACING | -VICTORY | BLACK (GLOSS FINISH)


TENZO | GF7 | HYPERBLACK


ENKEI | RSV | GUNMETAL


AXIS | WIDETRACK (MAXIS) | HYPERBLACK | 18 X 8


KONIG | CROSSHAIRS | HYPERBLACK

meh, lots of people have axis and konig models on their cars, be different.

the r-1 victory's are a nice wheel. r-1 had a display at a recent show and i got to see their full lineup. they had a set of victory's on a yaris and the lip was nice ^^

i've never heard of tenzo (unless it's the tenzo-r seat people)... wheel isnt bad looking though.

i run enkei's, of course i have to recommend them! i've run over quite a few potholes and have my wheels even thought about bending? heck no.

I personally like the way black rims look on white cars. I think it stands out more than gun metal. I like the style of the first rims.

not the axis widetracks... there have been like three consecutive posts of people wanting... or having them ;P

they're HOT and I love that style (which peeved me cus i'm still waiting to get rims), but still... I prefer originality ;P

The rs3.0 has a simple kit, it's not all that aggressive, I would vote for the Tenzos or the Enkeis.

what are you going to do about the tire pressure sensors? get them installed after you get the rims or are you ordering locally?

I am going to desolder the LED, LOL

Yea, i don't think the Widetracks are going to make the cut, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, since they are the most expensive.

I just ordered these today, I think they're in line with what you were looking for. I haven't seen anybody else with these yet so you get the originality factor.



Oh yeah out of the one's you got there I definitely like the Enkei's the best.

Personally, I'd go with the R1. Second choice would be the Enkei. The Konig wheel looks funky to me, I don't think I like the differing spoke style.

On a side note, do you have tires picked out already?
