opinion on wheels?

Staying in a mid price range, don't need anything super fancy. Mainly trying to figure out what color would look best.

Enkei Flat Bronze -

Enkei Hyperblack -

Tenzo Flat Bronze (also in flat black)
-

5-Zigen - Flat Black (also in flat bronze)

Yeah, those are my favorites so far. I just wish I could get both colors, compare them on the car, and pick that way. Why is it only Staples gets to have an Easy button?

try checking nasioc members gallery too for ideas. dont rule out rota either they are quality wheels despite what you may have heard. i think for silver, the hyperblack would look the best out of the choices posted. gunmetal also looks good on silver

The verdict is: Tenzo 6-spoke in flat black.

I liked the hyperblack.. But in order to shut my bf up I had to go with 6-spoke. I'm trying to find 6-spoke hyperblack in my price range though.
(insert eye roll here)

^^, heck, it's your car, spend your $$$ the way you want to...

but really tho, think about the Rotas too.

Since you didn't mention what size you were looking for I took a look at Wheeldude.com for different styles in six-spoke. They've got both the Grids and Boost styles.

the Boost is available in Hyper Black.

http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/ind...=90_217_96_135

hope this helps and have fun looking!

I do like those hyper black Rotas.
And I know it's my car.. But he gets to drive it sometimes too, and he's buying my bike and a ring so I try to compromise some things. I at least got to pick color

I like the Tenzo 6 spoke you got posted, I like that style in general...and ROTA makes a set just like that.
