Trying to decide on Rims...

Hello out there.... I can't seem to make up my mind on what rims I want and I thought I'd post a poll for your input

Enkei's or 5Zigen?



Here's the Gunmetal... can't figure out how to add option to the poll though

Another Enkei mockup to even the odds,

And another mockup, just noticed the 5Zigen ZR comes in a 18x9.8 +37, will that fit good?

Voted for 5zigen, but probably gunmetal or black color. Not sure if gold will go with ti gray. RPF1's are too common i think.

I'm also not totally sure how well it goes (hence the poll) but I'm also not sure how well the gunmetal would match the Ti-grey, it's kind of a tricky paint color.

I vote 5zigen and in Bronze!!! I have a TiG also and have been thinking about getting the bronze 5zigens as my track wheels. This post just made up my mind. I think they look great. I have never liked black wheels except on white cars.

I added another Enkei mockup image, didn't seem fair that the 5Zigen gets 2 glances

OK, now I made myself even more puzzled, added another set of rims to first post. I like the look of these a lot, not sure how well they'd fit though. My only downside is that the 5Zigen are all quite a bit heavier than the Enkei's.

its a really hard choice I've seen both in person and they both give the 8 curb appeal. For me i think it would come down to wheel weight

Has anybody seen the 5Zigen Hyper Gunmetal color on Ti-Gray? Wondering if it matches.

Personally I like the 5zigen ZR. I think it'll look great on your car. With a +37 and a 265 you may or may not have problems rubbing. Thats all depending on how low you are and how much negative camber you have. If you get a slight roll then you will not have to worry.
