Default I need your help in deciding which wheels I should get

Ok...I got my choices down to several wheels.

I just dont know which to get.

Racing Hart C5 (RH Evolution)


Rays Engineering Gram Lights


Buddy Club PII Racing


5Zigen FN01R-C


These are the 3 that I'm looking at right now. There are a couple of problems though. I have the Precision Brakes big brake kit and b/c of this I cannot fit alot of 17" rims. I want to stay 17" as I think the 18" are way too big for me.
The Racing Harts are the cheapest and I know that they will fit on my car as I have a set of z5000's now.
The Volks are hard to find, but I am trying to see if I can get a Gunmetal color with a polished lip. Can anyone help me with this?
I'm trying to find these things, but they are impossible to find for me. I always seem to get the PI Racing. I want it in the gunmetal/polished lip color.

Any help people?

i can't help find them, but i can tell you which ones i like. the Gram Lights and the Buddy Club are the best, not knowing what color your car is. which ones are the lightest? and they all look like they would give good brake clearance for you (not sure about the Buddy in the pic with the black background). overall, they're all sexy wheels.

im a big fan of the c5's over the others because i hate rims that show about 8-10 lug holes. the racing harts are cleaner looking. i also think 18's would be badassed on your tib.

I just can't stand 5 spoke wheels, so I'd say go for the buddy club wheels.

sorry Justin, but 18's are no no's for me. I would preferably want to go with 16's but I can't due to the brakes

if your going 17" then id say get a rim without a lip. better for your brakes and they'll look better. 17" rims with a lip look like 15" rims.
