Wheels.. Opinions

OK, getting my Acura 1.7 EL this week and can't decide on ADR Sokudo or ADR Ricochet wheels.

ADR Ricochet

ADR Sokudo

I also don't want something that everyone else has. Both of these are pretty light. 19.4 for the Ricochet and 19 for the sokudo.

Any opinions will be greatly appreciated [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Go for the Sokudos, the Ricochet doesn't look good with that huge center cap.

I like the ricochet myself. They are pretty heavy rims actually. Keep in mind that with the tire you are going to several lbs more than your oe setup per wheel/tire.

Man, this is tough. I like the shape of the Ricochet, but not too fond of that center cap. Looks like may go Sokudo. Unless I see lots of em in Calgary. Anyone in Canada buy from streetrendz.ca?

The Ricochet's look a bit too plain. Go for the Sokudo's.

I have the Sokudos in gold, and I LOOOOVE the way they look. But they are definitely more than 19lbs(more like 26lbs. if they are 17x7")..

btw, I also bought them from Whalen Tire. Good prices, good service: I definitely reccommend them.
