So um, while I'm doing the rim thing, check this out.

Compare the GT/GFX rim stock.

To the MXSportif concept wheel.

I for one prefer the concept wheel. Its curvacious. Its tough to tell, but the Sportif's sokes are curved in from the get go where asthe production wheel has a flat spoke and curves in toward the centre. The spokes aren't flat and the indent at the tip of the spoke looks like its deeper.

The MS Sportif rim is the same rim as our 17" but with the smoked finish. It is available as an accesory in Japan.

I think they're the same wheel with different colour finish. It's the lighting effect makes the MS Sportif rims look more curved.
I like the curved-in rims; however, the high offset setup prevents us to get them.

I think the indents near the edge are deeper from the looks of it, on the concept rims.

I can hardly see a difference. My glasses are in the car...

Looks like the exact same wheel with different paint to me. I like the smoked colour.
