This issue has been bothering me for the longest time...... have been tinking whther to get the mazdaspeed rims or the CE28 from volks racing.... since i cun decide, u guys help me decide....

Volks CE28

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/emenu/datas2/VOLK/040_CE28N/big.jpg

y i hesitated - too many damn replicas on the street... any other small cars have the replicas on their rides.... common, but still look damn nice......


Mazdaspeed

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/emenu/datas2/MAZDA/010_01S/big.jpg

Y i hesitated - five spokes design. The plus point being its rare, and its mazdaspeed.


both colour will have to be bronze. Pls dun bring in other rims or design. I'm only contemplating between these 2 designs niah....

pls poll.........

here's my 2 cents worth:

I'm a big fan of multi spoke. But I just felt that the 8 dont take multi spoke too well. The 8 sits very well with five-seven spokes, so, me go with the MS rim.

I think the 8 look nicer on the ms coz i think the muti spokes look too complicated.... just my point of view.....

MS - I prefer the 5 spoke design. CE28 looks busy around the hub area - too many holes.

Hi

I mean in Singapore. Many CE28N running around in other make cars including Mazda 3! (My fnd just sold his 17" CE28N to a Mazda 3 owner).

Another point to note: Light rims are good (we all know that) but unless u track regularly, too light a rim demand much more from the driver in everyday use. Potholes, uneven road etc will cause the car to swerve unnecessarily. No more 1 hand on steering wheel :D

Woah! AD07's, Endless brakes, MS rims....why not just jak that set? :D Now that I've seen your ride coupe, I think the MS rims would look better than the Volk CE28's, but as others have said it boils down to personal preference and you simply can't go wrong either way :)

Both Rims looks great, though the MS design makes the rim look smaller than it should be. For me, I would go for whichever the lightest in weight among those two design
