Which RIMS?????

okay now that ill finally be dropped i want rims for this summer. i thought my mind was made up on 17" OZ superleggeras. weight is my main concern, $$$$ second. they weight 15.2lbs



but i saw these yesterday and they weight only 11lbs!!!! and are only $80 more a rim. i pretty sure im gonn buy em.
17x 7.5 VELOX pro gear pg-rev7
i thought gunmetal would look bad ass on my all black car, but i know silver will look famn nice



anybody knwo if VELOX is a good brand. i mean if they make an 11lb forged rim i would think they have to be. also anyone know where i might get a good deal on them??? thanks

oh yeah which would u pick. the oz;s look bad ass specially on the comptech SC'd accord. -MiKE

I think the OZ rims look really tight. If I could afford them, I would get those. As for the quality of Velox, I have the Velox VX-8 and they seem to be really good quality rims. The only thing I would be worried about is the 11lb rim cracking on you....if I was going lightweight, I'd go with something proven like volk, spoon, etc. I"m not postive how durable the 11lb forged rim would be. But that's JMO. But the OZ rims look really tight.

If you want some hot ass rims o for the gunmetal look on black car. I think it looks pretty bad ass. Im gonna be getting Anthracite color wheels. as for the rims up to i like both but i think the Velox might look a little better.

Get the O.Z.'s They are a better quality wheel and 11lbs will break very easily. Those rims are more suited for racing and nothing else. Plus, the OZ's would look much better.

I don't know if anyone here is familiar with the lightweight rims Centerline has started making for front drivers. Good looks and light as hell, and hey, they are centerlines so quality isnt an issue. Never priced 'em tho. Check 'em out

i am pretty sure that velox rims are cast, not forged, or they would cost a lot more.
