They both look good, but I prefer the first one.

The first one looks better on a car. The second one i like the looks of it now, but on a car i dont really like it.

Look at some member rides, i know theres a few people with each of those.

Go with the 1st.

IMO don't get either. They are both really played out. I used to have the CDR9s in 18. Good quality wheels, I've just seen them too damn much around my area.

Well I have seen a lot of the CDR-9's around here on the 7thgen civics they look all right but have too many spokes for me I have the RS6 its a simple rim to keep clean and love them. Haven't seen one 2k1 with a set of RS6's around here, not really many of them on any cars I have noticed. But yeah they are played out I will admit on this site and other places I have visited.

Personally, I wouldn't get either.[list=1][*]I hate fake cap screws[*]The spokes protrude out farther than the rim (read: curb bait)[/list=1]

But if I had to choose, I would pick the second one.[list=1][*]Less spokes to clean[*]More room to get between the spokes and clean the inside of the rim[*]Less fake capscrew heads to clean[/list=1]

I went with 17" CDR-9s. Whatcha think? Either way, it's a definite improvement over the stock 14s!
