Pic are cool, but the best way I'd recommend is go down to the dealer or dealers that have the rims you like and have them put it against your car rim, step dack and see how it looks. Don't decide to buy right a way. Take a pic of each of them and then compare the pics. Then decide on choice and price. Just some useful advice.

I don't like either. The 3rd picture isnt bad but there are other brands who offer a similar wheel that looks nicer.

I'm not 100% positive on the name but I think Axxis Reverbs are similar.

You're best bet is to pick up any sport compact magazine and look through the endless ads of wheels to find one you like and then find it online.

Kinda partial to my HFP wheels - 18 inchers. With Dunlop rubber 215/40/18. The wheels are a perfect color match for GG and are very clean looking and easy to care for. I peeled off the HFP stickers from the wheels for an even cleaner look.

evo 5's are cool i was debating on them for my ex but since the ex wheels are five spoke im going to end up getting the evo 6's. you'll just need a drop with the wheels and you'll be good to go!

I got the rims at akins on Belmont, 18's would have only been $100 bucks more, I paid a lil extra for tires cuz i upgraded to Fuzions. I didn't want 18's, I have had bad luck with 225/40 tires before, i wanted 45 and it wont fit with 18's...
