Final hours of thepocket bulge.
 

I have been wheel shopping for years now and once again I have narrowed it down.

We have 3 contestants.
This is a contest of beauty, intelligence, functionality, fit. BIFF, if you will.
You probably won't.

Anyway, here they are.

First up, Enkei. What can I say, the wheel is hideous. Some poeple like this style. I don't, but man it is light. 16lbs is killer. 8inches with that offset is cutting it close. I dunno how it will fit with my aging rear struts, but man, 16lbs, mmmm... I dunno, man man man man man.
--
OZ is up next. This I feel is the best looking wheel of the 3. I don't care for thin spokes, but it has 5 of them, which is my favorite number. The offset is better, but it's heavier and costs more than the Enkei. The cost is actually irrelevant since it's only $15, but then again $15 is $15.
Man I love gold.

SSR Gt-7. It's an 18 incher. It's not heavy for an 18 incher. Offset is fantastic. It has style a plenty. It's on sale. =D
Almost 20lbs though, considering what else is here, performace might be hurt in relation to what the others offer. I will be showing off a lot more than racing though, so what's more important, lookin good or that other thing.
It's the cheapest one! It's kinda ugly. But what does being ugly matter if other people think you are beautiful. I'm sure most you guys drool over this wheel. Yay gold.
--
Right now I am leaning toward the OZ. It blends the other two, seemingly, better than perfectly. Then again it doesn't, which is why I'm stuck.

Oh, I should mention, this is it. There will be no other wheels. I'm buying something in the next two weeks. Centerline, Rota, Kazera, and ASA have fallen in favor of these.
Unless you can find a similar sized better fitting lighter wheel that is gold and has 5 spokes, and is ~$250.

Personally, I like the split 6-spoke design, but the offset might be a bit tricky. Old suspension+tight offset+hard corners...not the greatest combo.

I'd go 17 over 18. The bigger sidewall gives more comfort. I'm not sure how the roads are up there, but I assume they're at least as bad as Ottawa's. I wouldn't go past 17's here for that reason, insurance if I hit a pothole, and comfort.

So my voke is the 5-spokers.

And I voted for that lazer option, for the hell of it.

The roads suck and there's more potholes than good drivers, which is why I'm steering toward a 17x8 instead of the 18x7.5 I was looking at a couple days ago.

Speedy fIN
 

THis is a great wheel Only $140 or so each....IMHO Speedy Lite fin:cool:

It's a 4-lug pattern. Great for a Civic, won't fit an SVX. Nice wheels though.

That's a great-looking wheel. Got any specs? The price can't be beat but low priced wheels usually come with the high price of shoddy performance.

Extrememly low priced anything is dubious, most of the time. Ah well, at least those wheels will only make it on to some other import car.

I like the Enkei. I would also go with the 17 inch wheels. :)

also avail as 5hole....Will fit SVX or 05STI

RPF1's

If you want wide and light, you can't go wrong!

i'm thinking of putting these on my svx

I kind of like the Enkei, but they'd need to be a different color. I'm still holding out for my Volk GT-U's in a pretty gold color. Sadly they cost just shy of $600.
