Question Narrowing my selection on RIMS. Feedback.

Ok.

So finally,

1. Rays G Games 99B in GUNMETAL


or

2. Tenzo R GT5 in Graphite


The G Games one doesnt have much of a LIP.

My car color is BRILLIANT SILVER.

Thanks

Im assuming there is a big price gap betweeen the two.... You get what you pay for. Id spring the extra for a set of forged wheels.... G games are my choice between the two. good luck with your decision!

Rays g-games. Too bad they aren't forged (or are they?).

G-games are made in Japan (although USDM) by Rays, the same company that makes Volks. They are an extremely strong/light monoblock design because it uses Ray's Castflow Forming (RCF) process. Sounds similar to Enkei's MAT process.

50x better than those Tenzos, which don't have much more lip anyways. If you go with the 9.5/10.5 +22 sizes, you'll get some concavity to the spokes, too.

Search my wheel whoring thread for pics.

G-games but there is a huge cost difference between the two wheels you're comparing.

Go with the G-Games. It will be worth the extra money.
