Personal Opinions

[Sphinx]

I would like all ya'lls personal opinions on my future wheels. I turn to my trusted and brutally honest brothers here on TGC because my 2 close friends are not giving me the feedback Im looking for ... lazy bastards ....

These will be 17's and be fitted with my Potenza RE730 215/45/17. Im going to chew thru those like Opra thru my Granny's fried chicken. Then Ill replace them with better rubber.
I have a 2000 ES in Patriot Red that will be dropped 1.5" both ends. All other appearances are stock with the exception of a future window tint. No spoiler.

These are not in any particular order:

Thank you TGC,

I think your best bet would be to wait a little longer, get together some more cash and buy some better quality wheels. I dont mean like volks or anything but maybe some enkeis. They are a much better quality and the price isnt too much more.

I toyed with that idea quite a bit and it always came down to whether it was worth the investment. I like my G a lot but its not something Im going to invest much money into unless it has to do with the longevity of the car itself.
I dont see how spending another $200-$300 on wheels is going to benefit me in the long run. Please, correct me if Im wrong. Im trying to keep my investment into it low with the money I do spend going towards more necessary items.
I chose the ones above because they will cost me ~$400 for all four corners.
How am I shorting myself with the ones I posted?

That's a good policy. I've stopped all appearance mods myself, because of all the stuff that is failing on me as the miles rack up.

Personally I like 2 and 4. I'm not sure about 4, is it blue or machined silver?

1 + 2 look the best of those

[polishmafia]

^ Agreed. 1 and 2 are ok, the rest of nasty.

i like 3 if your car is black but also like 5

[blkg01]

2 & possibly 4. You should post a pic of your car or gives us the color to help with opinions.

for Patriot red my vote goes to #2

[6G72Galant]

1, 2, and 4.

[Sphinx]

3 & 5 were the womans choices =-) LOL

2 got the most votes and I can understand why.
Thanks TGC! Ill post a pic once I have them mounted up.

Number one for me, silver wheels look good on Patriot red.

[Sphinx]

Here are links to the details of #1 (http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=11840) and #2 (http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=11835).

It will be a few weeks before I order them ... time to deliberate LOL!

I can get you in touch with someone with authentic Rays Eins 17s for $350, plus shipping. They do require refinishing though.
