I need opinions on my wheels...

Ok... This is a terrible photoshop job... It is only to give you the idea... I want to know what wheels y'all think I should buy (as far as looks), out of the two on the car... I also included a larger pic of each wheel...

I like them both and cant decide... My wife and everyone here likes the first ones better so far... It definately helps to ask other people... Besides... If I ordered the second ones and received the order, and installed them, and they looked terrible... I would be pissed cause I cant return them... This just gives a little reassurance... And it gives me a whole lotta people to blame other than myself if the first ones suck... LOL J/k... I appreciate everyones opininions...

o with the first one, looks better for your car and it will be much easier to keep clean. Those little rivet shapes and nooks on the second model can be an absolute bitch to clean.
That is unless you enjoy spending a 1/2 hour per wheel using a Q-tip and toothbrush to get them showroom clean.

The second one!

Man if your car is red then the second one will look cleaner. You should go with 18's and use intrax with tokico's. Thatswhat i have and they never bottom out on any bumps.

18's with the gunmetal gray will look marvelous. I know from experience check mine out.

http://forum.teamfc3s.org/showthread.php?t=50882

These are 18's by 7.5.

The first rims look cheap.

I own two rx 7 . A 1991 non turbo and a 88 turbo 2 with 400 horse built by Del motorsport in El Paso TX
