    I can't decide....AARRRGGGGGGGGHH!!!!

    I'm getting rims with my tax refund and I'm set on a 5 spoke design. I originally was going to get these
    http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=15176

    That was,,,until I found these:




    I just can't make a decision. The difference is only about $100 between the two. I'll have my R1 Concepts x/drilled & slotted rotors and blue G2 painted calipers behind them......my car is also the titanium pearl color. I just can't decide! What do you guys think would look better...opinions please. Thanks,Boochie.
    Oh, here's what they look like mounted

    The R-1s are 10 times better the the other ones. Go for the R1s.

    You are a complete idiot if you don't go with the R1s. They look 100x better.

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    205/40/17 is the default tire size they add to the rims on wheelfire.com. Other sites default for a 17x7 rim is 215/45/17. The recommended tire sizing on the "proper tire sizing" sticky on here is 225/45/17,,,,,what the hell size tire should I get? I'm at stock ride height.

    Maybe I'm not understanding something....when you go to a larger size rim, the sidewall size of the tire decreases to make up for the larger rim. I'll still have the same(very close at least) wheel gap as if I were on stock 15's.

    thats true. the gap will stay the same but the ratio between wheel gap and sidewall has changed so the wheel gap looks bigger than it was.

    So, what it all comes down to is some Lance Burton optical illusion shit.:smt017
    I placed my order and got the R1 17's with 215/45/17 federal tires.
