Let me know what you think of these two wheels.

Motegi FF5 18X7 +42mm Hyper Black

Motegi DP6 18X7.5 +45mm Hyper Black

I need to make a decision by Monday so I can get them in time for the show I'm going to next week...debuting the newly reworked A/V system in my tC.

Thanx

I vote for the second one. The first looks too much like stock to me.

late

 

[Plissken]

First.

 

[Dr. Isotope]

Second one. The first, as was mentioned, entirely too similar to the OEM wheel.

 

[gottc?]

i like the second one also

 

[lo bux racer]

Second. I usually like 5's over 6's, but since I got my GN+ the 6's have grown on me.

 

[phungy]

I can't see the images anymore.

 

[raamaudio]

The second choice is best but the offset could be better, i.e. lower number to fill out toward the fendern edges better.

1st, 5 spoke looks sportier

 

[phungy]

First.

 

[thischick]

first

 

[Boombacloud]

Second for sure...everyone and their dog has 5 spokes.

OK Thanx guys. I kinda agree w/ you on the five star, been way over done. I got one more for you. What do you think of this one...

Motegi MR4 18X8 +40mm Gun Metal

Very different and I think the darker Gun Metal color would contrast very well w/ my SSM. I just don't know about it not having as lip. I like the deep dish look the lip give a wheel...opinions???

Also, will the 18X8 +40mm fit? Motegi's app guide says no...

 

[Alpman]

Here's the one's I really wanted, but they are not not in stock right now...

Motegi DP12 18X7.5 +35mm or +45mm Hyper Black

i like these

 

[Boombacloud]

I liked the lip on the 6 spoke as well, but I think these 10 spoke gunmetal rims would look sick on a SSM.

 

[iGod]

i think the 10 spoke would fit fine. no reason an 18X8 wouldnt fit, as far as i can tell. lo bux is running a 17X8 and its a great set up with 245s. his car sticks hard in the corners.

oh, and that 10 spoke is a great looking rim. 5 spoke rims are to tuners what 13" wires are to low riders. you cant go wrong with them, but everyone has them. its kinda become the classic tuner wheel, you know? but maybe i am biased, i do have 10 spoke rims on my tC.

Well, thanx for the input, but I just didn't have enough time to get the wheels on before the show tomorrow, uhh I meann today. I'ts 5 AM and I just walked in the door. Just finished painting all the parts for my system. Now I'm going to catch a couple hours sleep before I have to finish assembly on the system and head to Auburn. If anyone wants to check it out, I'll be at Auburn Car Tunes Wednsday after 5PM till about midnite and all day Thursday. Come by and say hi!!
