Question 18" RIMS - which one!?

1. AXIS HIRO --> Gunmetal (http://www.wheelsnext.com/prod_imgs/...89-1-large.jpg)
2. Exel RH-5 ---> Gunmetal (http://www.wheelmax.com/_images/products/rh5gm_z.gif)
3. Tenzo GT-5 -> Gunmetal (http://www.wheelsnext.com/prod_imgs/img-1834-large.jpg)
4. Enkei Evo-5 -> Hyper-Black (http://www.autowerxinc.com/images/large/enkei_ev0-5.jpg)

all are 18" x 7.5 wheels. from those pics, you can see my taste in rims. i'll only settle for 18" gunmetals w/polished lip or hyper-black (with some kind of exception). remember, my car is two-toned (white with gray trim). see my signature for pics of my car.

so yea, tell me what you guys think.

Ech

Don't like any of them. One of the nicest wheels I've seen on a Gen 4 is Enkei GF1. Jon.

4th Generation

ic, thx for the input so far. but that rim really wouldn't suit my car.

so what if i were to stick with the Axis Hiro (18" x 8.5)...would i rub anywhere? do i need spacers or a different offset (ie 35, 40, or 45)? (my car is lowered 1.2" Eibachs w/Tokicos) i don't know if it varies between generations; btw mine is a gen 4.5.

i checked the offset thread and really found no straight answer. i don't wanna roll my fenders (whatever that means) or buy spacers, cuz i don't have any knowledge of that stuff

btw i plan to get the Yokohama's H4s (225/40/18)

I like the "many spokes" on certain cars. But not on our Camry's and SOlara's imo

I like the first set. (Axis's HIRO)

yea, i'm kinda leaning towards Enkei Evo-5 too.

about the Axis Hiro, maybe it'd look better for wide-body cars like a Supra and/or a 350z due to the center portion caving in? cuz honestly, i haven't seen this design on a camry
