A buddy at work has #1, I think they look terrible on his car
I voted #2, but I'm biased.

What kind of car does he have?

How are those wheels doin for U and what size do you have?
I wish the center caps were also black.

I'm looking for 17"ers.

Is weight an issue to you?

I refuse to vote. None of those wheels are my style.

Just so people know, weight is an issue.

I just like these designs.

Other suggestions welcome.

my center caps will be different soon, not gaudy sticking out chrome. As for my buddy with choice 1, he's got a civic. The wheels look cheap though.

2 if any, but lose the red lip and turn the wheel hyper chrome or dark chrome, whatever it is called

As of today, I've had my time attack rims for 2 weeks. The red lip is going black, I'm sick of them. Initially I just wanted black wheels, but they had these ones either time attacked or silver with polished lip.

This forum. they are on here all the time for 400 plus shipping.
Usually no tires but that is a preference i like to have so I can
choose what to put on the rim.
