Help me choose! (with a poll!)

Okay, some of you may know I'm in the process of buying a set of rims and tires. I have a budget (2K, give or take 50 bucks or so), so that narrowed down my choices, and I've essentially narrowed it down to two (well three if you count two different colors).

The choices are:

O.Z. Racing Alleggerita in anthracite


And the Enkei RPF1 in black

or bronze




All these are 17x8s BTW. I know of course the desicion is mine in the end and thats whats important, but I love to hear all possible opinions. If you have any other suggestions within my price range, I'd love to hear them as well. I'm taking my time with this, but I will probably put in my order within the work week. Any input is appricated, thanks!

Hey Joey, try and check back and see if Kory (ka13wrx) still has his RPF-1's for sale. They're actually gold, but he was selling them for cheap, so the amount you'd save in buying them new, you could get them powder coated any color you want.

BTW, I'm more partial towards the RPF-1's personally. I never knew they came in bronze though? I love that black!

Here's a quick suggestion, what about a set of AME Tracer YM02's? These are similar to the RPF-1's, but MUCH less common. I wanted these so bad for the wagon, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. Here you go: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/w...etm02wheel.jpg

He's sold them already, I tried for those awhile back!


Yeah, and the Bronze is a limited edition I've been told (as well as black too). Oakos says they're the only ones in the US who carry them.

If you really want the blacks, I'll save money for the wheels you have now

Hmm maybe I should get blacks, because it seems like it'll be easy for me to sell them if I ever get tired of them!

I would make a suggestion, but what i would suggest are the wheels that I want, and I want to be the only person with them...

Guys, enkei tuning wheels are really nice, but rediculously heavy!
I really wanted the black chrome enkeis, but the bastiges weigh like 27# a wheel!

Oh yeah i voted for rpf's in blk.

These are nice:http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...ome%20SBC.html

Or these: http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...ome%20SBC.html

I'm usually not ricey, but I'm told when it comes to wheels my choices are.

Holy bling! haha, that i like the first choice, but i cant run something that shiny, I know I wouldnt take proper care of it and I'd feel bad.

Oh, and Chris, tirerack says the 17x8 RPF1 is 15. lbs. Doesnt sound too heavy to me?
