CANT DECIDE!!! wanna outside opinion

ok so recently i have decided to sell my 15" rota bronze slips with tires for $450(still for sale!!!) and i have decided to go for 17s since im really not that economically stable to buy tires and do all that other stuff for auto x so i decided just to make it look pretty ! so just need your outside opinion on wat rims to go for cuz i cant make my decision. i have a 02 black ex sedan and want to still go for the bronze/gold look. so these are the wheels i am going for in 17s:

konig next bronze forged


5zigen fn01rc


rota c10(in one of there bronze colors)


rota subzero(one of there bronze colors or gold)


just need your opinion on wat you think would look good, cuz i cant decide between these 4. so any positive input would be appreciated.

you might want to lower the price on your rotas. unless you have some amazing tires on there. just my $0.02

oh yeah, and i'm a fan of the 5zigens. really light weight.

^^^ jttegx is right..the tires on there i have are still practically brand new. and now they are off my car. and have been off my car for a couple weeks now. i bought everything brand new close to $800, since the tires i bought were brand new also for $475.

so right now its between these 2 rims:

the 5zigens or the konigs. i have yet to see a pic of a black sedan(any car) with these on 17s. alosi have a mental pic of the konigs. but im not really a fan of polish lip rims so i might have them painted. dunno yet.

wat do you guys think of the rota tarmac? i have heard of someone trying to put them on there car here in this site but then didnt do it later on(got a bad deal on em i think). and can anyone suggest a 17" wheel with like 7 or spokes(not thin spokes but id say medium size spoke)? that are like either deep in the wheel(sorta like deep dish wheels) or watever.

and not really looking for rota c8's either. also wat about the attacks? has rota fixed there recall on these? is it safe to buy them now without having them crack?

ok i have narrowed my decision down to 2 rims....(hopefully i dont change my mind again) the rota battle in 17.7.5 in bronze or gold or the enkei rs7 in bronze.

do you guys need pics of em to see? and which one do you guys think would look good?


and also bump......
