I'm not a big fan of the thin 8 or 10 spoke rims. I think a rim with thicker 6/7 spokes look much better.

Hmm... You should have made this thread a Poll.
+1 on the Enkei RSV gunmetal rims.

Pearly! i just got the enkei's RSV in gunmetal! sick rim!1 i got mine in 18 though for my white HB.. if you want a place to get them fast let me know.. i contacted 1010tires and they told me 2 weeks.. and other places didn't have them available.. while this other site i found got them to me in 2 days.. you can't go wrong with the enkei's their hot! although the 5zigen are real hot also
I say 5zigen GN+ or ALT. Depending on your rim colour pref. I'd get the gold with polished lip, I think that'd look hot on your car.

Hmmmmm... Seems like most of the people like the RSV as well. I was aiming on those as well but i'm still lost on which one to really decide.
If i were to get the RSV, would you guys prefer bronze or gunmetal?

IMHO I would go for the silver RSVs just looks right to me, but between bronze and Gunmetal, Gunmetal for sure, the bronze just dosn't do it.

ALT gets my vote! Would look sweet on your car!
Advan RS but not in gold. I love this rim.

I was waiting for someone to like the advans. But they are just crazy expensive.
I'll see what kind of price i get for the RSV first. I think its most likely it. But who knows, i might add a few more whenever i see something i like and you guys can judge for me.
Not trying to sway you... but I wanted to see what the advans would look like on a mazda 3 hatch.

I like this one, but it's 4 bolts.

The Advan Rs or the Wedsport Reps
The OZ would be alright as well but I have seen them on a 3 hatch before, not my preference.
the others seem to have some pretty big lips and for a 17" might look too small.
How about a nice set of Work Emotion XD9s? ;)
Kevin@nextmod

I knew you're going to post up your XD9s. I'll see about next spring or when you sell yous.

hey Blackman, are you thinking of getting the MS3 18"s for your ride? They would look hella sweet. :)

I like the advan RS but maybe not a gold color as I don't think it'll go very well on a white hatch..
Pearl_Hatch, + 1 for the advan RS!!!

Red, Ya... I am thinking about it. I really like them for factory 18's. I love the rx-8 ones more tho!
I have always been a fan of a true bronze on white!

I like bronze too but the thing is i dont know how bronze the RSV is. I do'nt want it too bronze as it will make my car ugly.

the rsv bronze doens't look bronze enough you need a sports bronze like rota wheels.. the gunmetal is even nicier than the picture when you see them live.. i'd take apicture but it not as nice.. seems to look like a dark charcol color.. very nice

Bump for new ideas and need new suggestions
If you're going 18" I like the XT7, very nice. The 5Zigen GN+ is beautiful.
I like these new rims from Tenzo:
DC-5 (Comes with different colour combos)

DC-6 (also available in different colours)

OZ superleggera is a nice alternative
I was thinking about those to, but they didnt get released early enough for me to look in to. What is your reason for not going with them? Size limitation? I notice there are only 17x7 and 18x8, those could rub easily depending on the offset. Beautiful though.
Kevin@nextmod
03-14-2007, 04:27 PM
I believe 17s are perfect for our car. 17x7 offset +42.
the only reason i dont' want them is I'm trying to get JDM stuff. :)
