Wheels for my wife's car.

Hello,

My wife bought the new VW rabbit 2007 and I am shopping for wheels (not much choice). We hesitate between those 2 models. Which one do you like between the 2?

Thanks

There is basicly all the models here:

Also, we want to stay with 15'' wheels due to the fact that we don't want to change the tires.

The wheel caps on the Rabbit are not too bad. I am not sure if it is really worth to change them with the limited choice available.

Thanks

Get the multi-spoke one in the last picture. IMHO they are the most fitting for the car. All the other wheels you posted have block-like spokes that dont seem to compliment the car as well. MY $.02

Here are 4 models on the car. I am not sure about the multi-spoke (Borbet), I find that they don't look good on the car. I think that the BBS or Rial looks better. My preference is probably the BBS. What do you think?

Wow, All I can say is the Multispoke borbets look silly. I was wrong. However I do feel that in 17's they would look better. I would probably try to sell the stock tires and move up a size or two in rim size. Yeah I know it costs more, but, personally, I know Id be kicking myself in the future if I bought 15's to save a few bucks on tires. This time im sticking to my opinion.
