Help On deciding New Rims... Motegi or Enkei ?

Right now my civic is basically stock... Only thing that i have done to it was to add Mtec H4's, and some interior lighting... Gonna go for the DIY Dash (blue), and the clearing of the headlights by the end of this week. But, Now iam deciding on RimZ, And i need your guys help! My civic is the tan color, Here are the choices of Rims w/Pics
These are 17" Rims...

Motegi: FF6 Gun Metal

Motegi: RT5

Enkei: CDR9

Enkei: RS6

The rims are all close to the same price... And the total for 4 rims of either choice + Nitto tires, will be around $1100

Now... WHICH ONES ARE THE BEST?!?

( I prefer the FF6 Hyper Black

I personally like the Enkei name more than Motegi. But you took care of everything yourself.

I personally like the RS6.

Ok I'm like everyone else, "buy what YOU want to buy" but if you want my opinion on those rims...then I'd have to say the Motegi FF6 Gunmetals in 18's. That's my opinion!

Yeah you pretty much answered your own question I will agree. Buy what you want I have the RS6 on my ride in 17", but I see a few 7th gens around here with the CDR9 I think it has a few too many spokes for my likes but I didn't care for Motegi so I bought Enkei.

I have the RT5's and like them alot ... I dont like the thickness of the spoke on the FF ones ... check out my profile for pics ... sry for the bad quality ... but you'll get the picture.

My car is silver ... so it goes well with the silver finish, I am not crazy about gunmetal ... so thats why I could be biased.

Like I said ... RT5 skinnier spoke ... makes the rim look bigger, I have 18's on and with my drop alot of people ask if they are 19's.
