Poll! Wheels!

Need opinions. Got myself narrowed down to three wheels that fit my price range and have the styling I like.

Edit - The car is a RR Ralliart, and I'm going black on red.

TSW Nurburgring 18x8.5 +45 ~21 lbs



Tenzo R DC-5 18x8 +37 21.7 lbs



Breyton GTS-AV 18x8 +45 21.4 lbs

I voted for the wrong one.... lol. Meant to vote for the all black.
It's hard to tell without pics on a red car.
I like the red trim one, but will it clash with the red on your car? I don't like the writing on them.
I don't like the silver trim one.

Here are Rota Torque with a red lip on a red car. Kinda similar to the Tenzo....

I have a friend who used to work for Tenzo, and he said that they had +47 offset wheels specifically for the Ralliart (and others). I'm not sure of the DC-5 have that option, but it might be a better offset...

Either way, I'm not a big fan of any of those wheels, but I agree with nystc23... #2 or #3.

I'm getting the TSW Nurburgring in the Gunmetal Mirror finish so thats what i voted for. I love the Breytons too. And #2 gets a big thumb down from me...

Make sure you post pics of that. I've seen those rims in person (bronze) and the pics don't do it justice. Thing is, it's probably the same story with the other two choices.

I think they should all look sweet on your car, but personally I would probably go with the all black look if it were me.

Best of luck with your decision and be sure to post some pics once you have the new wheels installed.

I love Volks, and I looked at some Work, Wedsports and SSRs, but they're all outside my current budget.

Going 245/40, either Nitto Invo or Dunlop Direzza Star Spec.

They are awsome wheels and pictures don't do them justice I've seem the matte gun metal ones you want in person and they are great looking wheels

Haha this poll is getting a bit one-sided... almost 60% in favor of the TSWs. Personally, I was leaning towards the TSW rims, the only reason I looked into other ones was because my friend just got a set of bronze ones for his R32 Skyline.

I appreciate the feedback guys!

Edit - Better look at the TSWs

do the breytons with a 10mm spacer (or find some with a mid-30's offset) and it'll look mean as hell. i love they way they machine the backspaced lip, gives it just enough flicker to catch the eye and won't let the all black wheel completely blend into the wheel well
