More Rim Decisions, Need Advice
So winter is finally about to be over, and I want to buy some rims. I've been thinking about what I want for a while, but still can't decide. I drive a meteorite metallic 5 door hatch, and have pretty much narrowed it down to these 3 options: (partially because I can't really find more) All would be 15" and black. I guess gunmetal would be preferable but those are hard to find.
Black Konig feathers (about $100 each)  Black Konig Lightnings (about $100 each)  And Black Enkei RPF1s. These are almost twice the price of the Konigs, however, and I don't know if they are worth it. ($185-$200 each)  I would probably do red lugs on them for accents. What do you guys think will look the best and would be the best bang for my buck? |

I have Privat Netz (a subsidiary of Konig) with a similar color scheme and design to the lightning. I think they look great. A black wheel with chrome lip looks more finished than all black in my opinion.

I have a Meteorite Metallic 3 door and I am leaning towards the Konig Lightnings in gold.

RPF1's only weigh 9.5 Lbs. Think about how much better your gas mileage, acceleration, handling, and braking will be

Well for the money........get the RPFs......they are well built,used on drift cars and hold up fine.....they look even better in person than in pictures......they are super light,even in large sizes they are light.
Also they hold their resale value much better than the Konigs......buy nice rims once......buy soso rims and later on have to buy nice rims.....get the RPFs. |

If you have the cash, I'd say go with some gold enkei rpf-1's. If not, go with the Feather's. The 15's look like 16's,the 16's look like 17's,and the...

Spend the extra and go with the Enkei. Go cheap = regret.
