Anyone running the ruff racing P948?

My 04 is OB and I'm looking to make it a clean tasteful daily. I love the look of this rim because I'm looking for a thin 5 spoke black in color and no lip or if it does have a lip for it to be black not chrome. I removed all the aftermarketstuff the guy had on it (exhaust,intake,cf engine cover) and replaced it all with stock items. Also not looking to spend 4 grand on rims either but if you have another suggestion let me know.




My car as of now. Possibly thinking of powder coating the axis hiro's but they have some curb damage

Not my cup of tea, but I am sure that had it hit a stray pothole it would be a lot cheaper to fix than some of the other wheels out there. I have had a lot of wheels, cheap and not so cheap, Ive yet to bend a wheel and I have hit my fair share of potholes and unexpected construction plates. More than once I've said $hit there goes the two front wheels, but they held up.

the spoke will be too thin vs the size of the car, it would not look right IMO. 5-spoke wheels IMO have to achieve an ideal width vs the car's body area to look right. The second set would probably look better and I think XXR makes a similar wheel with a better look as well.

The XXR 507 (the spoke outlines come in different colors):
