Question Enkei RS7 vs. Motegi FF7

Hi this my first post on this forum. I just got a 2004 Civic Coupe EX in Black. I've been reading a lot of the threads and I'd like to get 19" rims. I'd just like to get some opinions on either of these rims.

Does anyone have these rims personally and if so, how are they? And what tires do you have on them?

Also, if you could, specify a color that would look good on my Black car.

Enkei RS7 - Silver, Anthracite, or Bronze

Motegi FF7 - Silver, Gun Metal, Hype Black, or Glossy Black

Thanks so much for your opinions.

Yeah so I'm probably gonna get the 19x7.5 Anthracite RS7's, now does anyone know a place where I can get a good deal on them?

And anyone have any suggestions for the tires?

I'd say get the Motegi rims. I personally like rims with a nice lip to them. That's just my opinion.

you mean this?










The only reason why I have the FF7 is because of its Glossy Black, well aside from having a limited fund. If it werent for the color with the lip, I'll have the Rota instead.

you could go to discount tires if there is a local one in your area. they've got pretty good prices and they price match to boot.

I couldn't believe it when I saw the UPS box. It says 45lbs. I was skeptical so I weight it myself, and found it to be accurate

Most people find my FF7 attractive. The same people who doesnt know anything about car performance or doesnt know anything about car for that matter.
