These are the two sets I like the best lately. Something is going to get purchased sooner or later, and right now I'm leaning toward the Evo 5s. Whaddya think?

look at joerockt's ride, he has a CG w/ 18x7.5 Ray's 77w. I'm not feeling the Enkei's, the wheel face sticks out past the lip. It'd probably look better if it was a 9.5" wide wheel with a low offset

That's with drop. I doubt I'm going to drop though, I actually like my ground clearance. I did see the pics in your cardomain with those wheels pre-drop though, pretty nice still. That was one of the photosets that made these wheels a finalist for me.

Voted G-Games based on Joe's pics. Mighty sharp.

I would say G-Games. Just look at how good they look on Lito's car.

G Games all Day.
Isn't there a big price difference between the two though?
How much are you looking to spend?

Actually I don't have a shipped price quote on the G-Games, because I was so heavily into the Enkei's.

I now see them quoted around $250/wheel online. +~$150 shipping that's $1150.

Quote for the Enkei's is $820 shipped. Price may be the breaker. I don't want to be cheap, but I do like both, and I'm not sure I like the G-Games $300+ more. That nearly pays for the tires there.

If Lito can tell me where he got his, maybe they were cheaper local somewhere.
Either Lito or joerockt, PM me how much / where? Would be much appreciated.

Looks like I'm nearly alone though; I still like the Enkei's better

Lito got his online, I believe, discounttiredirect.com. They are $237 there. Free shipping though. So that's only $948. Only about $100 more

IMO $100 is worth it for the G-Games

Well, this is a moot point afterall. I scored the sick deal on the Silverstar's in the black market, so I'll be sticking with 17s for a while. I really, really like these wheels on the TSX.

If I do decide to get some dedicated summer rubber... expect a revival and maybe some Enkei's!

Thanks again for the opinions, always appreciated!
