I think I have norrowed my choices for my 06 xA on TEIN S-Techs. My ride is grey and I am not a fan of black rims. Below are the top 5 I am considering. Any opinions will be appreciated.

1. Hyper Black RIAX Sebring wheels

23lbs... big fat lip and clean style.

2. Flik Fuel in Silver

17lbs... clean and lightweight with a touch of style

3. Focal K5 in Gun Metal

26lbs... might be to "poser" for my car as well as heavy. Diggin the center cap.

4. Motegi FF7 in Gun Metal
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-Gu...temZ8037982963
25lbs... Lovin' that center cap and simple agressive style.

5. SSW Cosmo in Gun Metal

19lbs... Simple and relatively lighweight with a good lip.

6. ???

HELP!

Cheers.

 

#1 is Bad A$$ but I like #5 as well.

 

# 1

 

#5

 

Just a thought, have you considered the TRD 18s? Those rims look great in any color.

 

Since the RIAX are my first choice....

I did look at the TRD in 18, but to be honest, since they come as a factory option, they don't have enough "aftermarket" flavor for me.

I will keep looking and soliciting opinion over the weekend, so if you got one, I'll listen to it.

Thank you to those who have already put in their 2 cents!

Cheers.

 

1 or 5... but if i have to choose one then #1!

 

#1 for sure

 

#1 all the way

 

Hmmmmm... numbers 1 and 5 are the only ones I would consider, and while 1 is 'more aggressive' looking it is also heavier.

The finishing on #5 looks better, more precise edges, nicely machined instead of cast.

The contrast between center and rim makes 'em more interesting, too.

I'd go with #5.

(I was surprised when I took off my OEM steelies and tires, that the combined weight of wheel and tire was only just over 33 pounds. Just the #3 wheel weighs nearly as much as the total stock wheel and tire!)

 

2 & 4

 

number 5 for the win.

 

Decision was made today for number 1. Try as I may, I could not look past that big fat lip and the hyper black centers... sick sick sick.

I got em mounted and balanced with Kuhmo ECSTA 711's. Everything shipped to my door, including locking lugs and hub centric rings for $775.00

If I bought everything seperate, even with the tirerack closeout on the 711's, it still would cost more than that!

Thank you for everyones input!

 

Post some pics when you have time!
