to mugen or not

I am very close to ordering the Mugen GP rims for my GG si coupe. I was just wondering what you guys think about them. I am going to order them from College Hills Honda for like $1860 shipped. I currently have Kyowa Racing KR316's in gunmetal that i got for real cheap from carsponsorships.com.

My question is...Should i keep my rims or should i upgrade to the Mugens or buy some Rays rims

All personal preference. Mugens are a great deal. Go for what you want though

Rays higher end wheels are forged.
The GPs are forged.

They'll both be great quality (since when has Mugen done really cheaply made parts?). I personally wouldn't like them on GG though, too similar in color.

Maybe you're right. I dunno, darker wheels on GG don't make it for me. That's all. It is your preference, y'know.

Separate conversation I'm having with Jesh, not you. But seriously, 1800 is a good price for the wheels and they look good -- no matter my givings about the color. Get them!

Get them, it is such a ridiculously good deal and they are light and sexy as hell. To me it's a no brainer :)

If you have the cash to blow and like the rims i say get them! On the other hand that is ALOT! of cash for rims that may be stolen/scratched/curbed etc....

You get what you pay for though and that is top of the line Sh!t right there.
