Why is it so hard to chose rims
I need some help.
I've selected a couple of rims I really like, but I don't know which would be the best choice for my car. I really don't feel like making a wrong decision, so I'm asking some advice from you guys. I'm looking for 16" rims. First, this is the car were the new rims have to be put on (still with my old rims)   and these are the options 1st Rota circuit 8  2nd Rota Grid  3th R1 Racing rims  4th Icon (APC) W63

I'm not really a fan of rims that curve inward like that, but out of those, I would definitely go with the second option in gunmetal w/ polished lip.

Re: Why is it so hard to chose rims
2nd Rota Grid is my choice.

He Goosse, looks like everybody here seems to agree with the pick I also did
 Rota Grid's are the best looking ones I believe, but I also like the R1 though

Re: Why is it so hard to chose rims
Bronze or white C8's would look good on you car. That last one just looks heavy, and it's APC (American Piece of Crap), the grids never been a big fan of em, the R-1's, well I don't think those require anydiscussion as to why not.
The best way is to think about what you would like to see on your car. Then get a scale and get the lightest one.

Re: Why is it so hard to chose rims
I like six spoke rims. I went with the Rota Grids. White will look good on your car.

I'd have to go with gunmetal or sport bronze C8's, or the steel gray Grids.
Now for my car I'm looking at some black faced Rota Subzeros with polished lip. Pretty sweet looking they are.

Wait, what's wrong with your current rims? I think they look pretty good compared to my stock ones!
