Please Help Me Decide: Which wheel?
Hi everyone. There are a few wheels out there that I really like, but just can't afford. The RonJon Devotion 1pc comes to mind. Unfortunately, my budget is relatively low so I just need your opinion on 2 I've narrowed my choices to. All I want to know is which one you prefer, taking into consideration the price too. Even if you don't like either one, please just let me know which you prefer more. Your opinions will greatly be appreciated. Thanks Y'all!
Exel DL-46 in Hyper Dark, $149/each: 18x7.5 +45
Ace Allure in Machined Silver, $199/each: 18x8 +43

Here are 2 pictures of the Ace Alloys. The first is a comparison to my favorite generation BMW 5-Series. The 2nd is my pathetic attempt in pasting the wheels from the Bimmer to my car. Sorry, only got MS Paint to work with.

I had almost made up my mind with the Ace Allures and found out most Ace wheels are more than 25 lbs @ 18". Though I can't remember the exact name, there was one that weighed a whopping 31 lbs @ only 18"! What a dilemma......

Hmm... $150? That seems kind of cheap. Be careful because cheap wheels tend to bend easy. I know budget is a concern with you, however if you get some ronjon's they are only $50 more per wheel than your 2nd choice.

*Update*
I just purchased the 18" Ace Allures w/Hankook Ventus HR II H405 tires in 225/40/18. Total cost after Thanksgiving Day discount, which ends at midnight, is $1194.52. I should get them by next week!

Ace is actually its own brand and very reputable, according to certain articles and reviews I've read. At a past SEMA show, they displayed a Blue TSX with Ace wheels, though I don't remember the exact name of the wheels. So far, they've been on top of my order, notifying me of any updates from order received, to payment verified, to order now being processed.

I'd like to retract my vote and pick the 18" Exel DL-46 instead. The Exel's look much nicer... u'll look like a playa with those.
At least this thread is better then that other one with the nasty ass rims... lol
