2 and 3 in 17" are gonna look real funny. those are mesh style w/ lips. even my 18's with similar style look small.

Don't be buying these, thinking they're going to look like Dougboy's. Totallyyyyyyyyyyyy different. Those BBS's were stock on some oldschool model cars, no?

Our 5 spoke stockies slammed > those BBS IMO.

Just buy my set of vs-xx!

Stockies FTW. I like the 2nd ones, but 17" is too small for that style of wheel.

i have no idea who dougboy is lol, but i PM'ed you about your VS-XX! I LOVE them, but i ship out my rims to new york next weeek, i had them sold to a fellow member here and have no time to wait for shippin on your rims and stuff, maybe sometime next year when i have the aspec kit and all!

im also ordering my coilovers sometime in the next 2 weeks so i can get REAL low with your 18s..

Number 1 is different than number 2 and 3. 10spokes vs.16spoke. I'd say get NEITHER...they fugly as hell. If you go BBS can't go wrong with BBS LM.
