Rim opinons

Yes, I know that the decision is up to me. This is my first time buying aftermarket wheels, so I thought guys might have some good opinions. I have a white sedan. Daily driver. If you guys want to comment on ride comfort, look, tire selection, etc, weight and acceleration, feel free.

Candidate 1:
Konig Greelight (aka Mugen MF-10s)
.: Pro:
Look hot
Stupidly light
.: Con:
15 inches a little close to stock for my liking

Candidate 2:
Fondmetal 6700
.: Pro:
Japanese racer-style white on white look
.: Con:
White wheels need to be cleaned often
Easily burned by brake dust

ATS Comp. Lite
.: Pro:
Unique look
.: Con:
15"

Konig Driver
.: Pro:
Looks good

.: Con
Slightly conservative design

Of course, pics.

Fondmetal


ATS Comp. Lite


Konig Driver


Konig Greenlight

If you like that look... add the RH Evo CP10 to the list. If you got some more cash, the Work Emotion CR (Cast Version) is also of that style. To achieve Baller status... Weds TC-005 (unfortunately I don't think they are available in 4x100, but you could always drill them)

Based on the options you gave, I would go for the KONIG Driver.

Clean and mean. : - )

i like the Konig Greenlight, but you should get some 16's, 15's are just to stock... 16's would be better, wider tire possibilites and umm just a little nicer... also not too much more expensive

If the greenlight weren't so small I would tell you to get those. You should get the Driver.

Konig wheels are not that good it is like a genaric brand, you should look into Racing Hart, OZ racing, BBS, and other European brand wheels. The Europeans make the best wheels.
