if you want something thats 10-spoke and run 235 tires, i would go with the the g-force rims. they are wider and look better imho. they are both 10-spoke but the g-force just looks cleaner to me.

I would find a pic of your car with those rims any color and have someone carefully photoshop both colors you are trying to decide on.Have them pay attention to both black levels as well as saturation levels to give you the best depiction with the lighting in the image.

g'luck!

i think it is a waste to get 17x7.5. get wider like 8.5. also neither one of those wheels are good looking. also if you get wheels and tires, you will notice an ugly gap then you will have to lower your car. i am selling my eibachs week of the 21st with the original shocks/struts if you want to get them. they will lower the car very nicely.


I like those ones:

I think I'm the only one that agrees with Egan, silver is the way to go

but subydude said that they are not on order and won't be getting them, so i'm not completely sure what to do at this point.
Steel Gray won't be in till the end of may.

I just want these wheels, but it almost looks as if that's not going to happen.

Basically, my opinion is gunmetal T2's. I know it's not one of your choices, but silver on silver, does look stock. Since your car is alright light colored, I'd go with dark colored wheels and vice versa, Black looks good with brighter wheels such as bronze, white, silver since they stick out. There's an exception for black on black though
