I like all of them. I am a fan of black wheels. For some reason the Motegi's look slicker to me, and its probably a more trusted brand (from what I've researched, no person experience). They are probably more expensive too.

I have seen mostly chrome on the RS3. I like the lip on the Enkei. What is the price difference between the three??

both the Motegi and the Enkei are about $170 each for 18x7.5 (unless you guys know of a cheaper price) and the Verde is $140 each.

man, you guys really like that Enkei huh?

What he said/\/\/\ I don't get the fake rivet thing at all. They all look so much alike does it really matter. This style rim is WAY over-used IMO. Try something totally different.

Expensive? LMAO.

ONE of the wheels on my truck retails for more than an entire set of those Enkei wheels. The price seems pretty reasonable to me.

All wheels are "expensive." In terms of wheels though, the Enkei wheels are cheap. And jumping to 20s doesn't mean spending a lot of money. You can get brand new 20s with tires for around $1600. But, the wheels are crap and so are the tires. You can easily spend just as much money, if not more on a set of quality 15" wheels and tires.

of course i was on the whole JDM trip at the time. and i had the $$.
