Which wheels?? please help...

hey all,

i know everyone posts something to this effect, but i searched and couldnt find anything about the wheels im thinking about. ive narrowed it down to 3 choices. right now im mainly concerned with price (and i found a pretty good deal 900 for wheels, kumho ecsta tires, lugs, tool, mounted, balanced, and delivered)...not too too concerned with the weight, mainly the look of the wheel. here are my choices, comments are humbly requested. please tell me what you think, and which you think looks best?? i have a 2k1 LX silver sedan. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

choice 1: ADR Nengan 17" silver

choice 2: Maxxim Volume 17" silver

choice 3: Maxxim Baang 17" silver

i appreciate all your help. thanks a lot in advance.

---PbFoot

Choice #1 with the ADR Nengan 17" silver easier to keep clean you don't have those rivets that you always have to wash to keep clean all the time especially if you live in a place where rain is common. But I still like the 5 star design or my 2nd choice would be the Maxxim Volume 17" silver I like the 6 star look also its a nice rim if you don't mind the rivets. Thats why I am lookin at the Enkei RS6 in the 17" easy to keep clean and I just like them better.

Just my $.02

PS - the pictures arent necesserilly the same configuration lug pattern as what the actual wheel will be. but the guy assured me that all these wheels will fit the civic.

I like the Volumes the best, but I'm not a fan of the faux cap screws/rivets. But that's just me. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

#2 is the way to go. the first wheel doesn't do anything for me and I think the 3rd is just ugly- IMO
