Go for the Racing Hart C2's - you can't beat Japanese quality.

i would get those 19" r1's. they look pretty tite plust they are 19's. the katanas, the quality isnt top notch. the same goes for the ace. the racing harts are very nice but a lot of people have them. the niche are nice as well, but since the r1'sare 19's i would go for those instead. 19's fill up the wheel wells very nicely. make sure u think about this a lot. that way u dont feel like u made the wrong choice.

Yeah but tires for 19's are almost DOUBLE what they are for 18's, not to mention the R1's are just about the most expensive on on my list, aside from the HDR 547R's i want

you arent gonna get much bling or respect with those katana's compared to the g dawg pimp daddy top notch lowenharts...you cant fade them *****es, i seriously wouldn't even consider anything that isn't true 3 piece...so with that in mind the only rims i would choose from your list are the c2's but you should buy the c4's since they are newer in style...holla...Shyne

ive had the spazios for a couple months now, and i couldn't be happier. yeah, they are a knockoff kinda, but its not like a fake rolex. you have to figure that there is only so many styles of wheels, most of which are produced by several companies. granted, if i had a few grand to drop on some lowenhardts i would love too.
as for the quality of the katana's, i ve only had them a few monhts (which obviously doesn't provide the test of time), but ihave hit one or two potholes pretty hard with no damage.
the ace zeus look real good too. i also like the c2's but they are def played out on the tl's

Katana Spazio or the Niche. They are both bangin' I love the C2's, but with your car color, I would go chrome. You picked some mighty-fine wheels there sir...

255/40/18 Kumho 712's... i got the wheels for $220 a piece, and i havent called Katana direct to send them my reseller certificate and try to get a demo price, ill do that monday.

But for $1400 that comes from onlinetires.com, includes wheels, tires, lugs, locks, and shipping.... hell of a deal...

255/40 will not work

and to all... be weary about onlinetires.com, do a search and and you can see my relatively small, but irritating problem with them

and make sure that the wheel price is for the chrome, not silver

1) Ace zeus
2) R1
3) Niches F16
4) C2

I'm not fond of the Spazzios and although the C2 is a hot rim I've gotten tired of mesh rims (I've had 2 pairs on previous cars so they've grown old to me.)
