Hey everybody,

I am thinking of purchasing rims, and I wanted to get some feedback from the members.. I'm new at making polls on this forums, so bear with me on this one!

Anyways here are my choices..all wheels are 18"..
http://www.hd-inc.com/images/ptagmpic.gif
PerfectlyRound.com - T/A's in Gunmetal - 18 x 7.5 (about 19 lbs)

http://www.corsportusa.com/rota/images/rota/subzero.jpg
Rota SubZero - Flat Black - 18 x 7.5 (about 19 lbs)

http://www.wheelsnext.com/prod_imgs/img-891-small.jpg
5Zigen FNO1R-C - Hyperblack - 18 x 7.5 (about 19 lbs, also)

Thanks!
Geoff

don't think the blue highlights will go well with an orange car, nor the flat black, so my vote is for the 5zigen... plus those are the wheels i have had my eyes on for a while now...

I opted not to get 18s as I wanted to keep the rotational weight to a minimum.
You might want to check out the silver anodized as well.

there are way too many cars out there with the rota subzeros. i used to love them...........but they're starting to get annoying.

I vote none of the above. 5-spokes are WAY over-done.

goldwing - Thanks for your feedback - although, I'm not into the Superleggera-euro type look myself, I figure I'd keep it simple with a five spoke design.

Oh, I wouldn't suggest going crazy with some "hunned spokes" or anything.

Just maybe six or seven.

But hey... to each their own.

Goldwing - Oh, alright then, I didn't know what you meant.. I don't know your style in rims (lol)

But thanks for your opinion! Much appreciated!

while im all for any wheels that look decent (like the 5 zigen) im with gold wing... if you dont like the "euro" look try like a Mean 6 or somethin like that.

OR....... A 3 SPOKE YES!
