I say wheel #2. Polished lip wheels look good when they are huge! Otherwise the wheel actually looks smaller than it really is. That's MHO anyway.

You should post a pic of your car so that we can compare. If you have the gen4, then I'd say choice 1 or 2.

heres some chopped pics prince did for me...

The last pic looks best, probably because it's lowered. I don't think the wheel in the second pic fits the car well.

i like the last ones on the photoshops hands down

I agree, the last pic with the TSWs looks the best. But hey, those weren't on your short list?

Yeah. just depends on the look you're going for. The TSWs are a little "cleaner" looking IMO with the center cover and no fake rivets. The Fliks have a little more of a "tuner" look. Both look good in the right application.

I've been looking for wheels for my Gen3 for quite awhile and both of those have been on my list. The TSWs are still on my list, but I think I've ruled out the Flik's for now.

SSW had a nice looking wheel similar to the Fliks, but EdgeRacing apparently quit carrying SSW.

i have an ebay seller i been talking to who has the ssw version in silver with tires for 700 delivered with some drifter tire mounted lugs and etc

I have to say............Gen 4 is *TOUGH* to pick wheels for.

The Gen4 is just a weird animal.

I like a traditional 5 spoke, but not the ones you've got selected because the spokes aren't flat.

The other wishbone spokes, are not good looking.

I agree that the last pic looks best, and I'm about 100% certain that the lowering is contributing to it.

(I've been searchin' for the perfect wheel for 10yrs now & still don't see it.......at least not for the Gen4)

That SSW is a nice looking wheel. Again, IMO, it's cleaner than the Flik because it doesn't have the fake rivets.

I was really set on the gloss black with polished lip look for awhile there, and so I was really noticing cars with wheels like that. But, the main thing I noticed when I would see them, was that I couldn't see any detail in the wheel unless I was really close. They looked great up close, but from any distance, all I could tell was that it was black with a polished lip. So, lately I've been leaning toward hyper black or silver, or chrome which are all much more visible from the distance.

Don't get me wrong, I still like that look. I'm just thinking for my daily driver, if I'm going to spring for custom wheels, I want them to show up better. Of course, I could change my mind tomorrow.

Oh good. I thought it was just me. I'm having a hard time picking wheels for my Gen3 too. Glad to know I'm not the only one who can't decide.

Let me know if you find some good ones. I'm also looking for wheels for the gen4.5 but so far, the only ones I'm considering are some Enkei RSV's.

I bought these in a package for 699.00 which was pretty good but did not like the tire.
Voxx Rims -P/N:T20977315 -Size:17x7 Offset:+42
Nankang Sport NS-1 Size:205/40R17 84H (I wanted a little more tire:P)

Now I am looking for new tires and rim, 17 inch rim with +38 offset and 205/55R17 tire.

PS 6 Spoke looks pretty awesome on the Gen 4.
