help me choose

whats up guys. im in a fix. two set of rims which i love, but cant figure out which to get.



Roto Blades (SP?) - not many have them. the rims in this pic are overly bright. they are more silver then white looking.



RH C2 - more people have them. but look amazing nonetheless.

both are 19's and both look sick! please help

i know a few ppl with RH rims that complain about them bending all time, especially when you go 19s. ive heard less horrow stories with enkei, but any 19" rims you gotta be careful....

Racing Hart C5 Evos are so generic looking on TLs. Go with the Rota Blades cause it's fresh and looks way better.

great, thanks for the opinions fellas. i was leaning on the blades cus it would be more original. now the next issue. should i got 18 or 19. i know the 19's looks amazing and fit the wheel well real nice. but im from NY, and the MD roads arent any better (i go to school here). should i just stick to the 18's? or take the risk and go 19

rh evo wont bend any easier then enkei. a 1 piece wheel is made all the same way. a cast wheel. now if you get real Racing Hart not RH Evo they will be multipiece and be very strong. and if u bend u can just get the lip re-done.

Go with the first ones, I have the C2's on my ride, I love them but too many people share the same taste. And about the size definitely go with 19's, You juss have to drive very careful, slow and try to avoid pot holes. ( Believe me I know what driving in NYC is like I used to live there) But go with the 19's

You didn't have to do any of the above and it wouldn't have rubbed. Not mentioning the H&R drop.

I rolled the fenders because i put '04 TL rims on it and those are 17x8 45 offset. So i had some rubbing issues.

I'd go with the first set, the RH C2's are overdone on this board. They are a beautiful rim, but I say go with something no one else has. I bought Neeper rims for that very reason. By the way, you shouldn't rub with 19x8 and a 48 offset. Good luck and post pics when you get them!

I have 19x8 with a +45 offset. There is a little bit of rubbing because I also have a system in my trunk. But you should be fine with a +48.

BTW, go with 19s.

Yes the RH are over rated on this board, but when you see pics from other members on here or even see it rolling in your hood you look twice and give two thumbs up. I personally dont like the look of the blades on the TL. I think our car has a sporty luxury look and any rim choice has to come with a lip.

Are these two your only options? If so, I lean towards RH.

Yeah, the Blades are nice, but it would be better if it had a lip. If that doesn't bother you, then def the blades because they are a nice looking wheel!
