which rim?

I was wondering which rim you guys think looks better. I can't decide which one to buy. I will order the 17 inch ones for either... thanks

ASA AR1 17x7 +48 offset and 21.2 pounds


OZ Superleggera 17x7 +45 offset and 15.9 pounds

While I like the design of the black rim better, if you are going w/ 17" rims, due to the large lip on the rim, it will make the rim look really small on your car.

I suggest going up to 18" or 19" rims.

If you're really stuck on 17" rims, I would go with the OZs b/c of their lighter weight and the fact that the spokes go more to the edge which will not make the rim look as small.

Zgo has really good taste. He doesn't like CAIs hehe, but likes really aesthetically pleasing cars. Just look at his car!

I would tend to agree with him on the choice. I say go the lighter route (OZs), but if you can, try to go up one size to 18"s.

LOL. I like lots of power too. But I need power w/o excessive noise so I'm not as conspicuous to the cops.

The IS350 is looking very tempting - 306 hp combined w/ Lexus silence.

go for the OZ ones... the other ones are nice, but with that much lip on 17 they could look a bit strange. I have 17's with a bit of a lip and they do look smallish, but personally i like a more functional aesthetic - going for trach car look with a lower metal to rubber ratio haha
