Velox VX-8 or RH Evolution C2 ??

ok... forget the Konig Imagine's.. i don't like Konig much in general anyway.... here's what i'm looking at now:

Velox VX-8 18x7.5 with Nitto NT-450 215/35 in Silver or Gunmetal - $1300

or

RH Evolution C2 18x7.5 with Nitto NT-450 215/35 in Silver - $1500

your vote? I'm leaning towards the C2's 'cause they are classic and I like Racing Hart better than Velox ....

There might be a lot of C2's, but not Velox. Of course you need to sell wheels so I understand your post.

I was referring to 7th gen Civics, specifically members on this site.

the car is being painted Suzuka Blue now.. it's at the body shop... it would have already been painted but the KC Aero Buddy Club Rear Bumper is a piece of s**t and it's taking forever to make it sort of fit.

I just wanted to tell you... I put on my Velox VX-8s yesterday and they look good! I will post pics as soon as I get my hands on a decent digicam. I was debating between the C2 Evos and the Velox. I don't know if I told you or not, but I talked to a wheel company in Cali and when I asked about the C2s they said they were on recall, because the center piece was falling off. Check around and ask which version wheel it is.... pre or post recall.

What did you lower your car with? If your slamming your car, I'd recommend getting 205 instead of 215 tires because I'm getting fender rub with my 215 unless I leave the camber really negative.

I like the imagines, but since your going all out custom colors, why not get the racing hart evo and custom powdercoat them to that blue color too, but leave the polished lip. Just giving you ideas. I think I saw it on one of the girls on this site who did the blue powdercoat on the shu 4 she had on her blue car. Very nice...

Incase anyone wants to know, the VX-8 are between 20 and 22 lbs for the 17". This is from speed people.

Why the &*% don't wheel manufacturers list the weight in their specs. I absolutely hate that. Trying to find out a weight of a new wheel is like pulling teeth.

i've decided to go with the C2 Evos... they just look too good... classic and retain value. the VX-8 is nice.. but a trendier wheel and i think i'd get tired of it sooner. thanks for your help.
