Wheels selections... *poll* RH R5 Pro or RH CX (both black with polished lip)

Which would you prefer and why? I saw that the R5 is made by Dazz... im guessing this may say something about a difference in quality. Also what kind of lip size would i be looking at in a 19x9/19x10.5 set of wheels for each of these options? I want big lips, 5 spokes, and gloss black with shiny lips... If you select "other" please give me your new suggestion.

What are some good places to look for these wheels CHEAP and what should i be looking to spend on these sets? I was looking at mynismo.com , but anywhere i could get them cheaper?

i just thought of posting pics cause im an idiot and i come onto the thread and ive already been criticized for it LOL here it is


In those pictures they look like they have a pretty nice lip, but on that z below (mynismo.com link), the r5 looks like it has a pretty tiny lip.

Im kinda going for AT LEAST 2 inches of lip in front and 3+ in the rear and still clear my brembo's

Damn thats a tough one, I've seen both in person, since I know people who have each.

If I was choosing I'd give a very very very slight advantage to the R5s in black.

Good luck.

i'd go with the CX because they don't look so plain. also, it has a true x" lip. the R5's have a bootleg like lip because the spoke's design.

CX is nice, those R5's are nice, but not as nice IMO.
