Which rims should I go with ? Both are black rims with chrome lips and 18"

1) MSR 044 5 spoke wheel
Black with chrome lip ones - http://www.kxwheels.com/wheel/msr-wheels-style-044-black/497

2) RTX Multispoke wheel - black with chrome lip

Give me your opinion. I have a gen 2 hatch in the light grey/silver colour

I'm NOT looking to buy rims !!!

If you don't already have MSR 044's, I have a set of 17" ones that I sanded down to paint but then lost interest in. Let me know.

LOL ... I've now had 2 offers to sell me rims. I don't need rims!!!

I have both of these sets and am deciding which to keep and which to sell !!

First one, hands down. The black spoke with silver slip is overplayed

Bingo

MSRs are heavy, and seriously overplayed.
Same goes for the other ones.

Get some rx8 wheels or something.

I had MS3 Shinkas on my last car and they were SERIOUSLY heavy !!! Personally I think RX8 rims on an M3 is overplayed and too common. I might just post up both sets of rims for sale and the first one to sell will make the decision for me !!

Not sure about the RTX GTR's but the MSR 044's are 25lbs. MS3's are 24lbs so they might be similar.

Never said they weren't lightweight. Just saying if you're going to out heavy wheels on your car, at least get something that looks better than what you posted.

I don't normally like the 5 spoke wheels, but this one gets my vote for now since it's got split spokes. :) Plus I really am not liking the look of those GTR wheels.

i should probably proof read before i click the "submit" button, eh?

either way, they still look a lot better than those MSRs

...maybe i'll just stop talking lol

LOL - just ****in around.

From a tuner's standpoint...any rim (almost) is better than the factory rim.

If i'm buying rims again, I'll go with the 5 spoke. Easy to clean and i think looks badass too.
