Question What rims should I get?

Hello.

I am troubled with what rims I should get. Does any of you have any suggestions? They have to be able to be shipped to Australia.

My ideas:
-MRR GT8
-MRR GT7
-Enkei Raijin
-XXR 527
-XXR 530
-Klutch SL14

Others that I can somehow find...:
-2 Crave
-ADV1 ADV5.01
-Advan RS II
-Avante Garde M310
-Axis X-Factor
-BBS CH-R
-BBS RI-D 005
-BBS LM
-Cor Clipher
-Enkei EV5
-Enkei Fujin
-Enkei PF01

Thanks to @DarrenDriven for these rims.

Pictures? Dimensions? Weights? Budget? I'm too lazy to look all of that up.

You get the wheels that best match your purpose and budget. Those factors are not in your post, so reply with them so you can get useful advice. Otherwise, you're going to get opinions based on other people's purposes and budgets.

Wheels should...
  1. Look good to you
  2. Be lightweight
  3. Have an appropriate width
    1. If N/A try to stay 8.5" or less (235 tire)
That's the order of importance to me, but might be different for you.
Personally I'm going with a squared set of XXR 530's, because they're inexpensive, kinda light, and look good.

If you can afford it get some Gram Lights 57xtremes. They are super sexy and the 18x8.5" wheel is 1lbs lighter than stock.

If you can't afford those, get something from Enkei. Raijens look really cool, but RPF1s are super light and not too bad on the wallet.

Get the bear one, unless you hate yourself.


But if you do hate yourself, still get the bear one.

No the fronts are 8.5. I think the rears are 9.5s. There is a thread about this, if you want to know more.
