help with wheels
okay guys so now that the weather is nice i am looking at buying some new wheels, and am looking for some opinions on what everyone thinks would be best because right now i am up in the air.
the first pic is of my car and my current wheels...
one option is to powdercoat my current wheels piano black
or i am also looking at a few other options
tork matrix (1st pic)
Tenzo R DC-6 (2nd pic)
Ruff Racing R278 (3rd pic)
let me know what you guys would do or some other wheels that i havent seen yet.
thanks,
Brett

I really like the third picture (DC-6), the lines are the cleanest on those wheels.
I see you have 17" now, why? They look really small, a new set of 18" wheels would look great. Nice looking 8 -=)
PS -- Buy nothing that has "ruff" in the name plz.

^^^ the 17" were my winter wheels. so that is the main reason for those they were cheap and looked decent. but i am looking at atleast 18"s if not 19"s.
if you dont mind me asking why not the ruff's?

Yea i think those are 20"s im not sure who's car it is i found them on here a while ago and saved the picture to my computer. it actually looks like the rear tires are stretched as well, maybe thats just the way it looks to me. i think the best place i have found online so far for them has been wheelsnext.com i have the links saved on my laptop but i am at work so if you would like exact links i can provide them later.
what color should i get the silver with the chrome lip, or glossy black with the chrome lip?
im kinda leaning towards the silver with the chrome because nowdays when you see a red car almost all of them have black wheels now

I have buddy club rims with a lip the problem with lips is that they bend a lot of times when you hit a pothole. I'm going to get a new set soon and I'm looking at getting the Rota Boost rims. You should check those out.

I think I might know what it is... I personally like the look of odd # spokes (at least when there arent a whole lot so it's noticeable). Some reason it just doesn't look right to me. So if there's a similar look with 7 spokes I'd say definitely that. If not, the tenzo still looks best.
