Which would you put on an 05 NBP?

This is so bad I'm already thinking about my next rims
oh well, I have realized that I have 3 favorites and will probably choose one of them in the near future but I just don't know which!

You guys be the judge

Maya RT5


Axis Shines


RonJon Liquid Graphite Inspyres


Those are my favorite three; which would you slap on an NBP? (with blacked out headlights too.)

I am astounded by how many members would chose the Axis when you have the Maya RT5's as an option. Personally I would go with the Mayas and wouldn't even give a second thought to the other two wheels. The Mayas are in a completely different class than the other wheels. Superior in construction and design aesthetics by a far. Just look at "jptl04's" car and you'll see that the RT5's are a no brainer among the three options. Just in case I didn't explain it clearly enough:

GO WITH THE MAYA RT5 ALL THE WAY. DON'T LOOK BACK.

Maya or the RJ's.

Maya to give high contrast; RJ to be a bit more "stealth".

Don't the RJ come with a polished face/black inner? I'd like that on a blacked out NBP better than Liquid Graphite.

I agree with Bearcat and Architronic!

IMO the Shines will give you a kind of sporty look, the Mayas will give you kind of a nice, classy look, and the RJ will give you a mean, stealth look.

The shines would look really nice but Mayas are like a total different class! Balllinnn. I say go for the Mayas if you can afford them.

I don't care how expensive the Maya's are, they look like they belong on an Escalade, not a TL.

Another route that you may have already considered, is to go with either the RJs or the Axis and use the balance of your money on some other upgrades. I mean, maybe for the same amount of money that you would spend on the Mayas, you could probably get the Axis with brand new set of high performance tires or Pro-Cats or whatever. That may be a better route; kinda of like killing two birds with one stone. You could even probably get the RJs and get the full RJ body kit for the same price as the Mayas. That way you'll come out of it with a full RJ setup - which would bring smiles to RonJon's face...lol.

I would still go with the Mayas though. Good luck. You can't go wrong with any selection. Just do what you want and don't let fools like me deter you from what you really like.

If you can afford it, then Mayas. Otherwise, Shines. RJ's are great, but on here, a lot of people have them.

Maya's but the STM Maya's are better IMHO. Of course, all Maya's are a minimum of $750/rim so...
