With consideration that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, I'm just curious on what wheel styles people like.

- Color? (I like gun metal/hyper black. Not too keen on chrome.)
- Number of spokes? (Just got the 12 spoke Superleggera's. My buddies think they look like ass but I like them. They like the classic 5 spoke star patterns)
- Spoke pattern?
- Twin spokes?
- Rivets? (Love that look)
- Favorite brands/models?

I was origionally going to order some 5 spokes but there are several around here and I wanted to be different, so Im going to order these babies here within the next week I hope

i have a set of R.H. c5 knock offs on my car. they look a lot like the ones captain morgan posted. i think chrome looks cool on some show cars, not cars built for speed. chrome def looks good on trucks...rollin on dubz. gunmetal with a nice polished lip also is a hot color. and hellyeah i like rivets.

I prefer original rims every time to their knock offs. They're constructed so much better.

Like the Motegi 7 spoke vs. Advan Model 7? Model 7 all the way. They're so well made.

I never really liked five spokes, until I saw Volk's Challenge rims:

Quite possibly the BEST five spokes ever. None of those ghetto early 90's 5 spokes that you see a lot.

Volk TE-37's don't really do too much for me as far as looks go, but they make up for their relatively bland looks for their performance. I prefer white to bronze/gunmetal.

I've also always liked OZ F1 rims (Black with yellow lettering. Ooooh), and I like the stock 97+ GSX rims, although they're way too heavy for what they are and how soft they are.

Worst rims? Anything by American Racing for import cars, and knock off rims. Get some creativity guys.

It changes a lot, but I try sticking towards some of the 5/6/7 spoked wheels. I like a lot of the touring-type wheels that Racing Hart has come out with. I dunno really :(

:edit: I don't like chrome that much unless it fits the wheels well.

Motegi MR7s are BAD ASS.

I also am a fan on Japanese deep dish big lip rims...

My other favs are the Ace Alloy Mantas(they look nice, yet for some reason not as nice on cars), another one I like are the Racing Hart C2 Evos and C5 Evos.

No matter what, I jus ain't into CHROMED OUT rims unless its on an escalade, or black rims. I also can't stand rims with to many spokes to the point u can't see them big caliburs and cross drilled rotors!
