i need your opinions on wheels!

i am looking at the Flik apex's in 16" 149.00 each



the SSR competitions in 16" 315.00 each.. i'm debating if i want to take it up the ass and just buy these..



Konig heliums or greelights.. can get a set of tires and wheels for 700 bucks on both of these..15"





i'm not sure which ones will look best on a 1992 civic hatchback.. give some opinions!! thanks!

My brother has the SSR's on is bimmer in 17" gunmetal. They look crazy, and they're something like 15lbs!! In 17s!! Just think what they would be in 16s or even 15s.

If you want something larger than 15" the heliums are out as well as (I think) the greenlights.

IMHO, I would go for the 15" heliums. They look nice, are way light and are relatively inexpensive, but if you want bigger go SSR the looks and quality are great. Plus a lot of people are gonna have the heliums and not too many people (In NY tri-state anyway) have the competitions.

I don't have heliums so no pics sorry man. I want them bad...but no dough, no wheels. I have GSR wheels (BBS type, not the twisties)on my whip in the meantime.

my car is currently red, but i am waiting until summer when i get it painted gunmetal grey before i put any of my parts on.. ie: wheels, suspension, etc.. i want to do it all at once =)

i'm thinking that bronze would look good on gunmetal but i'm not sure.. keep the opinions coming!
