Which rims!?

Hey guys,

as some of you have seen from the last thread Ive been looking at several rims. Im looking to buy some soon and im debating over the following.

As for these rims, im more or less aiming at a hate/love type of rim. We'll see how it goes, I may just fall back on a safer set of rims when it comes time to buy

If you guys have any suggestions on a rim please let me know, thanks!

Heres my car as it is now:



here we go...



Choice 1 : Auto-Couture Transform 5





Choice 2 : Auto-Couture Transform





Choice 3 : Auto-Couture Tension 5






Choice 4 : Auto-Couture Aristo





Choice 5 : Asantia AF 116





Choice 6 : Aicona ALC 36

I would go with choice 5 if you can get it to match the color of your car; otherwise for with option 4.

...well,....the stock rims look good!! Sorry, the other one's make it look like you're just "trying too hard".

It comes down to this; buy the one's that YOU like. Other opinions really don't matter.

Which wheels....?

I like option 5, the wheels look balanced with the multi spoke design. The
other options are mostly black wheels which I only like on OB. Have you
inquired how much these wheels weigh? That's a major deciding factor to
me when I'm upgrading wheels, if they're fat over weight wheels it's not
an upgrade!

I'd go for something like this myself:


They're on sale for $419 each in 20" staggered config; 25mm offset 20" x 8.5" front and 20" x 10" rear. Pretty low weight for 20's as well at 25 lb each.

BUT, like I said earlier, go for what YOU like and don't look back.

If i was to go with a safe choice, it would not be black and I would aim for a good size lip as well

from the comments, I think I will go towards something more clean.

note to self: dont aim for hate/love anything haha
