Default Which rim should I choose?

Ok, I need everyone's honest opinion on this one. I'm about to order some 17" Enkei rims, but I don't know which style to choose from. The web address is www.thewheeldealer.net. I've narrowed my selection down to 3 the Zenkei, the Inazuma, or the Shuriken. Please tell me what you guys think. Thanks!! smile.gif

Darn, too bad they don't have Shoguns. Of the 3 you listed, I like the Inazuma's the best. The Shuriken's look too wild + heavy, and I don't like multi-spoke wheels like the Zenkei. But that's just me...

Because Tibs have all wheel disc you want to show those babies off!!!!!! I personally like when you have a large amount of space between the spokes, ONLY if you have 4 wheel disc brakes. NO ONE wants to see ugly drum brakes!
Anyhows I really just wanted to throw in a quick post so you could see my Tib with the 17 inch Enkei Arashis. No not conceited, just hoped it might help you to decide.
Eithe way, it's your car man, and who gives a sh*t what anyone else thinks! You'll never please everyone! Make sure to post a pic so we can see your ride with it's new "boots"!

You mean you DON'T want the Lexan Synergy rims? I can't see why you wouldn't want those instead... eek.gif eek.gif eek.gif

I would go with the Inazuma or the Zenkei but not the Shuriken.

That's a great deal on wheels "Those prices include, wheels, tires, locks, lugs, hubrings, mounting, balancing, and shipping to your door". I'm thinking of ordering a set. eek.gif

smile.gif Well after much debating I've decided to go with the Enkei Shuriken, I ordered them on Tuesday and I hope to have them by the end of the week!! As far as tires go, I got a set of Kumho Supra 205/40/17. When I have them put on I'll be sure to post some pics of my new wheels. Thanks for everyone's imput! smile.gif
