Broad question, they each have a million wheels. Which style you looking at?

I love the look of TE37's, especially in bronze.

If you like the 6-spoke design, then RAYS is the only mfg between them that has that

Make sure you're careful with that wheel fitment. Choose your tire size appropriately or add supporting mods (spacer or coilovers) to avoid rub at the front.

I have the same in 17x9 in Almite Gold. I've been enjoying them very much.

You can run 255/35/18 with a slight fender roll.

Great wheel, great offset and most importantly, readily available

I love Almite, but I have an Ablaze 86. I'm wondering if the combo would work well.

Also how do you guys feel running expensive wheels and publicly parking? No one messed with your wheels? I know the nightmare is returning to your car on cinder blocks. I don't have any problems with security at home, just at work (big public open parking lot with grocery store, restaurants, pharmacy, etc.).

That would depend on size and color. I've personally found those things to be a royal pain in the ass to get ahold of. My brother had to peep their site every few days for months just to get some 15x9's in black. I did the same thing for about four months waiting and waiting for 15x7.5's in any color due to autocross class restrictions. I finally just said screw it, they're technically my street wheels anyway and bought 15x8.

Buy locking lugs. I tend to buy wheels that are decent but not overpriced such as Enkeis and 6UL's and I now draw the line at wheels that are out of production. I learned the hard way with a pothole and three good Volk GT-U's that I can't get a good fourth to complete the set. My brother got really lucky and bent a steelie that was only on his car for the winter and could have just as easily been a beautiful set of discontinued O.Z. Superleggeras. Never again. Maybe expensive wheels but never discontinued ones of any kind. Not even the NISMO LMGT4's that I absolutely love.
