Default Motegi RT5 Advice

Okay, so I finally decided to go with the Motegi RT5 for my BCP xB. So now, I'm looking for guidance as to what size and color I should go with:

Should I go with 16" or 17", and Black or Silver?

HELP!

I think the silver would look nice in a 17 in. Did you see what they will look like on their wheel match?

what do you think of the motegi dv 5? its a directional wheel kinda like the falken hanabi. i'm kinda digging it.

i think the silver in 17 would look nicer.

I have the Motegi FF7 18's on my xB. Why not go with 18's? No rubbing (even at full lock) and they fill up the wheel well much better than 16's or 17's.

I didn't like the DV5, but the FF7 is something to consider - the base automotive shop has the 17s on sale for $104 each.

The only reason I didn't really consider 18s is because the tires are expensive and I deliver pizza as a part-time job (yeah, I know, I know). - I still don't have much of a clue what I want, really.

I have the rt5 18" on my box and they look amazing. I got an awesome deal on them through ebay. I wouldn't recomend anything lower than the 17".

I'd be paying $115/wheel for the 17s - Probably gonna order the silver ones tommorrow - flat black seems kinda cliche for tuners, these days.

Decided to go with the Black RT5s - I have a dark-a$$ black tint and a black mesh grille, so I went with the dark theme. gonna be looking pretty slick when I have that and my DF210s installed.

Anyone know of any places I can buy black tuner lugs?
