Default What would you do?

So I need to pick up some new wheels for the tC. I want something light, simple, and gray or silver. Easy right? I am stuck on the following:

Enkei RP03 18x8 (In stock and I can get them mounted, balanced, and on my car in 2 days)


Gram Light T57-RC 18x8.5 (90day back order)


Volk CE28N 18x8.5 (90day back order)


I would kill for any of the Mackin wheel, but the 90 day is wait is tough. I wont see anything till the end of September.

Order from Japan or buy the Enkeis?

I would do the Enkei's myself because 1 I don't like waiting and 2 it is the only rim that is 18x8, 18x8.5 might look a bit odd, but just my opinion.

I say either the Gram Lights or the CE's. Enkei is no competition compared to Rays.

I agree. Enkeis cant compare to the Volk goodness, but they are in stock.

8.5 will fit perfectly! might need some massaging though.

BSP. I might do the silver or bronze in the CE28. Too many decisions

Do you want flush (with a little extra pop from the fender) or tucked (just a tad) wheels?

Flush: roughly et35 - you'll be coming out just over a full inch from where the stock wheels sit

Tucked: about et40-45 - slightly more conservative and not so extreme; wheel should come 0.75 inches to 0.94 inches from stock depending on which offset you choose

on the BSP i'd probably go with silver. bronze will blend in a little too much but then its hard to blend in so much beauty! either way CE28's are the way to go.
