I like the Nakayama's, but how come your car is parked in the middle of the road before the bend?

I'm having the same decision issues as you are...have to say you've got great taste in wheel styles. I've been eyeing the Speedstar for a while now...always wondered what they'd look like on a CL-S...

I've always liked the RH C2s, I think they would really look sweet on your silver car. I got the HP Huricanes 'cause they were close to the C2 and dirt cheap ($770 a set). Had to save the cash to fix my broke-ass chevy!

I have heard that the 1pc racing hart have been known to bend and that is why they went with the 3 piece, but that made them more expensive. Is there any truth to this rumor?

speed stars are nice...but for over $250/piece...definitely not worth it for wheels that don't look ALL that.

3pc racing hart = original, made in japan, about $500 a piece for 18"s
1pc rh evo = different company, made in phillippines, about half the price of the real deal..good marketing strategy, most people thing they are the "1pc" version of racing hart while they're not..just knockoffs of the racing hart designs and the company's name..although i haven't heard anything bad about them.

Well it looks like I can get either a three piece rim for ~550 or a whole set of one piece with tires for ~1500.


What would you do??
