What do you think of these rims?

Been looking at rims recently and found these. I really like them!

I have a silver 3DR liftback, how do you think they'll look?

Everyone has their own personal taste I suppose...

I really like 5 or 6 spoke rims so I love the look of these on their own. Don't know what they'd look like on my car though.

ev5 looks cleaner, but if you like black with the chrome lip, then go with that. it's up to you!

the ev5 in 17" is like 20lbs by itself, but it would look nice in flat black or gunmetal

oh wow the ev5's are really that heavy? Dayammmm. I don't know which of these I like better, I'm torn lol.

The guy at the local shop said they'd be like $320 (canadian) a rim from him, what a joke! They're $150 (US) per rim at that site, and I'm sure shipping wouldn't be too too unreasonable. Sure a hell of a lot less than $320 per rim I bet.

But he said he has some rims in the shop that are similar for $150/rim but they're probably cheaper quality motegi's or konigs or something.

I'll check them out when i go pickup my springs though.

Thanks for the input

EV5 for the style but RZ-5 for the colour. Not into bronze.

I think the RZ-5's look great especially on the Yaris!

I don't think either of those would really fit on the Yaris well. The bottom one MAYBE, but definitely not the top one.

I was lokoijng at the RZ for my Black LB, but I like the EV better now. Still can't afford either, so it doesn't matter - yet!

Not sure how much of a fan of the RPF1's I am...

I need to see things on my car before I can really tell though. My car is silver though so I'd rather get a different colored rim I think, and I really like the branze...but still not sure what it looks liek on my car haha.

Go with the ev5's i think the first one looks a little tacky, but thats my opinion and i hold respect for whatever choice you make sir, after all theyre gonna be on your car. So i say props to whatever choice you make. : )
