Hi,

Here is my ranking (most fav to least fav):

RS5
RSF-2
RS6
CDR9

For reference, I have 16x7 Mille Miglia Spiders with 205/16-55's (right now it's BFG Winter Slaloms on the stock 14" steelies 'til April).

Cheers,
CamryKen

I dont know all those rims are kinda heavy I'd definitly go with
the 5Zigen FN-01
these are only 14.5lbs
and my favorite Starform R2's
and these are only 14lbs.

I personally think that 5-spoke is kind of played out. So I'd stay away from the RS5.

The CDR9 looks sort of like the Tantrums which is very popular not only with Toyotas, but even with Hondas, VWs, etc. So I'd stay away from those too.

The RSF2 looks like the Racing Hart CP-035 which is good, but it is 5-spoke which is bad, but then again it is dual 5-spoke which is sort of unique.

The RS6 is classic 6-spoke which I think is less common for now, but the spokes are a little too thick for my liking.

So I rank them in this order:

RS6 / RSF2 (tie)
CDR9
RS5

I would have put the CDR9 on top but I personally like to be unique. I want rims that nobody else has. I have the SSR Type-C lightweight semi-forged rims. Weight was an important factor for me... THE factor I should say. I do notice the difference at high speeds. The car doesn't seem to want to stop climbing on the speedo and it is much much quicker getting up I think.

Good luck.

Personally I like the RF1 style, the more spokes the better
