Which one do you like best?

javajaws · 06-06-2006, 10:30 AM

Which one of these do you'll like best? Also, any thoughts (durability/looks/etc.) on the anodized finishes (platinum graphite/titanium asphalt)? Bunch of good pictures of these in various finishes at http://elusivefx.com/Gallery/DPEGallery?page=1

How do you'll think they will look in 18x8 and 18x9 (vs. 19")?

The candidates:

GT7:

R10 (do they still make these?):

R16:

R20:

toolfan · 06-06-2006, 11:56 AM

R16

Matte90 · 06-06-2006, 12:16 PM

I like the R10.

ep609 · 06-06-2006, 12:29 PM

R20

javajaws · 06-06-2006, 01:19 PM

As suspected...there are no bad choices here. Early on, I was leaning toward the GT7...really like the rivetless look. But the mass of the spokes just isn't enough I don't think. R16 is a great wheel...looks way cool with the two-tone finish. Also, the R10 looks waayyy better in two tone. I think I like the R16 the most...even though I don't look forward to cleaning all those screw heads.

GT7

AVY · 06-06-2006, 01:53 PM

r10 easier to clean

HRC · 06-06-2006, 01:57 PM

GT-7 but they will all look small in 18" w/lips.

aapriadi · 06-06-2006, 02:01 PM

i say either R10 or R20 in 19s

MIKEYMIKE · 06-06-2006, 02:06 PM

Why not the Variant 7 spokes? I love these....

And if you've Arctic I'd either go with a brushed aluminum, phantom black, or titanium asphalt. Another member on here has the polished on his arctic and it doesn't look right imo.

R16...and no chrome

chicagolab · 06-06-2006, 09:03 PM

r16 if car is black & r10 if tiag

javajaws · 06-06-2006, 09:04 PM

It would be brushed aluminum or platinum graphite. Too much purple in titanium asphalt for my taste. I think the PG will look sweet.

ALPINE6SPD · 06-06-2006, 11:01 PM

PG will look great with artic I think.

Nikki · 06-06-2006, 11:21 PM

a couple photochops...
i definitely wouldn't get chrome/polished.

kt157 · 06-06-2006, 11:24 PM
