Poll Time....Check out our Wheel Choices Options

[Fastbird]

First up, my wife's favorites:

MSW Type 16, Black with red stripe, 18x8:


or

MSW Type 11, 18x8 +35:


And then there's my favorites:

R-1 Racing Hype, 18x7.5 +40. Narrower, not sure about the offset though, but I LOVE this wheel:


or

Excel Ennio, 18x8, +35: *Edit* Just found these in gunmetal, this would be what we'd get, NOT silver.**


Now, my favorite BY FAR is that R-1 Racing Hype wheel. The only drawbacks I have on it are the 7.5" width and the chrome lip. But.....the biggest concern here is the +40 offset on the 7.5" width. I'm almost thinking a spacer is going to be mandatory to keep it from being sucked too far into the fenders.

My wife's favorite is the MSW Type 11.........which is clean, but I just don't like the wide black sections on the spoke bases.

anywho, this is what we're looking at right now. Going to try to order something by the end of the week.

I dunno. I just can't shake the "too dark" image.....

The main reason I am leaning hard for the R-1 Hype right now is because the wheel flows with the car. The machined center face and chrome lip would flow along nicely with the chrome in the headlights, and the polished Magnaflow muffler and tip in the back. If you guys haven't seen a machined finished wheel face in person, it's stunning. Pics just don't capture the effect.

Now, the MSW Type 16, admittedly is nice, but I am fearful of it being too dark for the car. If it had a polished lip, I'd probably be a lot more receptive. But there's really no "black" on the car save for the tint. That's my biggest hangup. *Edit* Another big thing for this one is availability. They're not scheduled to be available until 5/6/08. We don't want to wait that long. We're looking for wheels now.

Time to have the wife photoshop this stuff and see what we come up with.
