This is Winnie:


Which wheels should she get?
#1:


#2:


Mark and I can't agree, I'm not saying whose choice is which - but we're taking it to the boards for some input. What do you think?


P.S. Cookies to anyone who chooses the ones that I like. wink

Add a voter thing to the post...maybe one of the admins can help?
Any way...I'd say #2...Sorry, not liking the polished alloy look, looks kinda like soemthing you'd see on a civic or similar ricer, but either way with that much open space I'd recomend painting your calipers OR getting a big brake kit..the color'll bring out the openness of your rims...So what tires are you putting on?

Sorry, Spd...I was the one who voted for number one (I just liked it better). However, seeing the ultimate winner, I have to say that those are pretty awesome too. Please don't be angry at me. :)

I purchased the 17" Feathers (16.9lbs each) and 4 Nitto NT NeoGen ZR 215/40/17 tires with mounting kit/ tires mounted balanced shipped with lifetime replacemant (curb damage, nails etc) for $814.75 shipped. I am extremely happy. Even though the rims are not as light as I would like, for the price its a great deal.
