Getting new rims... - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #12310 22 posts Started by aaronc222
Well, I've finally got the funds together to afford a decent set of rims, but I'm having a hard time deciding.
I really like the Nakayama Racing Stars, Enkei OR52, and Enkei RS5(a little overplayed, but still look great).
I can get all three for around 800-1000 shipped, but just can't decide. I'll be getting Tein springs to go with them, and plan on sticking to 17".

I'll probably end up with the Nakayama(it's what's on all my cars in Gran Turismo 3), but thought I'd get some opinions.
RS5


I choose those cause it's what i have >biggrin.gif>

MISS THE CELI, BUT...
The Racing Stars are really hard to find lately(discontinued a year or two ago). I found them at www.karfanatics.com for 975(about 1100 shipped, for 17x7.5 with Hankook tires), and was wondering if anyone has done business with them.
Aaron, I like the second ones.

I will return one day.
they are all very different styles. I like the way 3-spoke looks and its very original because nobody has them. the 6-spokes, are more traditional, I went with this style because its the most 'aesthetically pleasing' for me personally. the 5-spokes are common, I've seen a bunch of cars with them, but they are very good looking on a 6g. depends what you want out of the rims I guess. me I just wanted something that looked pretty and didn't weigh over 17 lbs a piece >smile.gif>
i like the 2nd one, then 3rd.

from those choices, I prefer the rs5's...more classy.

dont due RS5s. Everyone and there mother has those or the 7th Gen GT rims. Be different, 3 spokes look badass but so do the second ones.

I vote 2nd ones.

hows it taste motha f*cka
Only go with the 3-spoke if you want your ride to look like a Probe

Enkei OR52
dont know why, i just like em. I really dont think the Nakayama Racing Star wheels would not look good, 3 spoke style wheels never really look even, or, balenced on a car, but if you like them, thats cool.
(just my 2 cents)

i will go with the 1st and the 2nd one.... the third one too many people have them on there car.
