If you are going for a "blingtastic" look, I would go with the Tourings. If you are going for a clean look, I say Gammas.

I can't say that I like any one of those particular wheels. I'm not a big chrome fan, and even less of a fake rivet fan. That being said, of the options you provided I would probably go with the Gamma.

Gamma: Deeper lips always look better to me.

i like the lip of the bottom and the design of the top.

I don't however like when people bring up the fake rivets thing. Who cares. It's a look. Some people aren't willing and sometimes cannot pay for REAL rivets.

Once a wheel is on my ride it will be staying a one-piece, so why does it matter if it's really a three piece?

I may very well be missing the reasoning to a three-piece wheel, but a single molded wheel makes more sense to me.

They all look good, but I'm going to be different and say get the
trigger. There is less boxes with that design.

Gamma - nice flat surfaces rather than curls or swoops - just like the box...

go for the trigger or gamma, don't really care for the top one.

It's your ride, so be happy with what you pick.

thanks for all your comments guys!!! i reallly apreciate it. I was leaning towards gamma from the start. Just to let you know all these rims are high offset meaning 40+. Gotta post with sizes and stuff if i decide to see if they will fit. Thanks a billion!

I brought up the rivets, and I don't regret it. And yes it is a style thing. And in my opinion it is very tacky. Not to knock this guys choice of wheel, but I think fake rivets on a wheel look like crap. Always have, always will.

And for the most part, I don't even like the look of a real three piece wheel. My background in the automotive scene is hot rods, muscle cars and trucks. Everything in those scenes (when done right) is about cleanliness. The rivets in a three piece wheel take away from that.

To me fake rivets are the same thing as knock off "designer" clothing. For the most part, I don't like designer stuff to begin with. And it only makes it worse when it is the low quality fake crap made overseas and sold at the local swap meet.

Fyi, those deep dish lips depend on the size of the rim and lug configuration, so becareful when ordering online~ I've seen many people flip becuase they didn't get the exact same rim as in the pic....

More specifically the lip depends on a combination of the width of the wheel, the offset and the shape of the wheel center. It has absolutely nothing to do with the lug pattern of the wheel except that some manufacturers only offer specific offsets in some lug patterns.
