Help me pick =D -

///Mikey · 01-22-2008, 11:39 PM

For those of you that don't know yet, I got in an accident last week after the RAM meet. I was turning into streets and there was an ice patch in the right turn lane. As i tried to slow down to make the turn, ABS engaged and I slid into the cone shaped median that divides incoming and outgoing traffic while trying to turn right. My driver-side front wheel caught all the impact, and i spun onto the median. The driver side door and curtain airbag deployed on impact, and there is a 5 inch chunk of lip missing from my wheel. Long story short, the car is in need of new wheels

Here are the wheels I'm interested in (open to other recommendations):

Diamond Black BBS RS-GT

Hyperblack CSL reps

Diamond Black BBS RGR

There's a pretty big price difference in those choices...

If you're looking at those BBS's, I would definitely give these a look.
Feeler FT -- BBS RSII 18x8.5"F/18x9"R
It looks like a really good deal.

RS-GTs if you've got the money

eurospek · 01-22-2008, 11:53 PM

BBS RG-R got my vote!

RS-GTs FTW!

CSL's are over played IMO

I would have to go with either the ones Jay posted, or the RGR if you're going new. The RS-GT look nice, but I bet they are a lot more expensive.

Bottom line, you'd get a ton of compliments and respect if you roll the RS-GT's. They're great, top-of-the-line wheels.

I like the RGR, not a fan of the bolts on the RS-GT.

Brian: [points to Vince] He *knows* I can box! So check it out, it's like this: If I lose, winner takes my car clean and clear. But if I win, I take the cash, *and* I take the respect!
Dom: [laughing] Respect?
Brian: To some people, that's more important
Dom: ...That your car?
