#4 I like when the spoke comes to the lip of the rim, it makes it look bigger then it is. I also like simple rims, no rivets or phony bolony. It makes them easier to clean and not so cheap looking. I also hate the 50 billion holes in the center hub, why can't they just make 4 holes? Keep it simple stupid.

thanks guys. it seems that #3 is the favorite around here. i have to say i have my hesitations on the higari b/c it is gunmetal and looks black from afar. the one i was leaning toward was #2 enkei rs5 b/c it is a simple wheels and a great company (plus it's cheap online). of course #4, like i said is what i used to have. it did look bigger than 17 when i had them. #1 and #5 are actually the most expensive ones.
