if i had to choose any u mentiond ...well dont take it personal but i wouldnt go with any of those...

i would go with these which have better offfsets and sizes u might want to consider..

grid
boost
p1
tarmac3
attack

.... all those are much nicer wheels, could be sold easier in the future, very light weight, nice finishes and offset options...
Yup I'd like to see pics of yr buddy's rims =)

Esthetically wise I don't really like the boost nor the grid really =/

I REALLY liked the P1 and tarmac3 but I didn't mention those in the other posts cos they don't have them in 17s

torques are awesome. but yeah for winter wheels i suggest getting a more stock offset yeah you want to look good but i don't think you want sand / salt all up on the body, leave it in the wheel well
