Wheels - Any Good?

I'm thinking about ordering some new wheels now that I've sold my old car ( for a little more then I expected ). I really like the look of the 7 spokes. I have seen some Katana Concept 7's, and some Giovanna Racing Kuji's. Are these rims any good? Katana's are $899 with tires. Plus the store isn't too far from my school, so I can go down there, so no shipping. Here are links to each:

Katana - http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/Katana/c7.jpg

Giovanna - http://www.superbuytires.com./wheels...l=Kuji&id=3371

I'm thinking about either silver or chrome, as my car is black. What do you guys think?

I'd go with silver katana's personally. Both wheels look basically the same but the Katana's don't look as cheap.

The chrome or silver is really up to you. I don't like chrome at all soooo....

Go with the Katana's. Same thing except I like the K on the centercap. atomic frog has these same wheels in white, but his are a different brand (Motegi). I think they have a nice pattern for the G20.

The Katana's look better, but don't go with chrome - many of us here are not fan's of chrome, but again it's really up to what you like.

The rims do look awefully similar to mine kool

That's b/c they are the same. Different company. Alot of companies share the same wheels as other ones.

For example. ADR- Reaction http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/ADR/reaction.jpg

And Katana- Teza
http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/Katana/teza.jpg

I also know off the top of my head that the Konig Verdicts are also the same. So there's 3 different brand names and the same wheel for each with different logos.:smoka:

But if these Enkei's weren't 399$ per rim, you'd see me rolling on these. Only 16lbs per wheel. Hyper black.http://www.enkei.com/setflash.asp?f=1
Just go to wheels , then tuning , then far left wheel(Bortex). Then hit close-ups.

yeh, keep a close eye on the weight. it will change your acceleration...especially if youre on a AT, try to stay away from wheels that weigh any more than 19lbs.

I've got the 7 spoke RH Evolution M7000's. They have a little bit different look than most of the other 7 spoke wheels because the spokes dont sit flush with the outside of the rim. I paid $1200 for wheels, Toyo tires, tuner lugs, and shipping from wheelmax.com. I'm pretty happy with them and like the way they look. I was told they weigh 18lbs per wheel (which is one of the main reasons i chose them) but have not been able to verify this personally.

Racing Harts tend to be a pretty lightweight wheel. Top of the line quality and performance.

Between those two - I'd go w/ the Katana's

Yo Mrcoilz those Enkei's are O.K., There's an Altima around my way w/ 'em (looks too much like our stock rims) I love Enkei's spoke rims and their symbol (infinity symbol)!

Peace!

Thanks for the opinions guys. I actually ended up getting a deal on the Katanas after you guys suggested I go with those. A girl who was interested in purchasing the 67 Mustang I just sold works at super buy tires in Bellflower (Long Beach), CA, which is close to my college, and that was a site I was looking to buy tires with online. She is going to give me the wheels with 215/45/R17 Falken tires and have them put on for me for $756.00. Sounds good to me. Getting them put on next week.

DAMN! That's a pretty good deal. Did you have to give her "anything" in return?

Hope you like 'em!
