I like the first one. Would like to see them mounted. Haven't seen any 5 spoke type design on the vehicle yet.

I just ordered these

http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?wheelbrand=Enkei&wheelmodel=Razr

at 25 lbs a wheel I could not resist.....

hopefully my cx-9 will not crush them with the 5 spoke design and 25 lbs weight, hehe, lets see

only going to install them when my spec-x tires arrive, will post a pic in a month or so

Very nice! I'm a big fan of the classic 5-spoke star look.

Have you found the load index for the wheels you ordered?
I worry that the 4550lb SUV may be too heavy for them to handle.
Better be safe than sorry, don't you think?

total weight = 4550lb is curb weight for AWD + driver and passengers + cargo + towing tongue weight

The wheels should have at least the same load index as the OE wheels. Otherwise, you are taking the risk. Warranty may be voided if the wheels fail and the chasis (such as suspension) is damaged in the process.

Click to expand...

seems I had to educate myself
the GVW is 6025 lbs, curb weight is something else.....

internet has failed me for once, I cannot find load index of neither enkei nor mazda 20" oem wheels.....

phoned enkei

those razr weels are conservatively rated at 710kgs per wheel at 20 inch

so for all 4 thats a load rating of 6248 lbs

that should be OK I hope

if i HAD to choose, i would pick the 2nd ones
they both dont look too hot to me though, just stick with a simple design, those look funky
