Maido ST5 or Racing Hart C4's?

Hey G35 Drivers! I can't decide on rims for my new G machine. I'm stuck between 19 inch Maido ST5 (silver) or Racing Hart C4's (multipiece). Some of your professional opinions and pictures will help. Thanks!

C4's looks way better. Good choice.

Both are great choices. I love the spoke style and wanted the C4's, so that would be my choice. The maido's have really big spokes, they look nice but too much. Martin

None of them. C4's are nice, but get something better quality then them. Something like the Maya STM's, or the SSR Velbret series. Those two are extremely beautiful, top quality choices.

Re: Maido ST5 or Racing Hart C4's?

i think the Maidos are really ugly. i think the spokes look like sheet metal and it gives an appearance of a cheap low quality wheel

WHAT?! did you say the Maidos are ugly and low quality?! Just keep smokin that cheap stuff you've been smokin cause you don't have a clue what you are talking about. Put down that bong and and go take a look at Lorinserbenz and Blk6pd's coupes.They are some of the best looking wheels you can put on the coupe or any car for that matter. If I had five grand burning a hole in my pocket, Maidos would be my first choice except it would be tough to choose between GR5 or ST5.

Re: Maido ST5 or Racing Hart C4's?

I like the styles of both of them equally but I want a style like the Maido's because I like to do a quick wipe of my wheels each evening (along with run a California Duster over the car) when I get home from work. The mesh style is too labor-intensive for me to keep clean. The Maido's are an easy wipe-n-go alternative...
