Nice choices I see so many people picing out ugly wheels, both are hot, but the AT's will look bigger because of their design.

I've always liked the R6, but IMO, unless you are going for 'show' only, go with 17's.

yeah me too, I think a brighter finish on your darker colored car will bring out the rims more, either rim is hot. I personally like the R6's

I'm personnaly digging the AT's because of the design, but N34jz is right the brighter color would look better. Can you get the At's in a silver finish? IMO the R6's look like every other 5 star.

I dont think their is another wheel that looks quite like the r6...but thats just my opinion.

I love them but am trying to get some 18s so I am getting rid of mine.

I think they would match darker color cars better.

I agree on the lighter colored rims on a dark car. And asw66 those R6's look real clean on your Max. I believe I've had a change of heart. I've got a white 94 Se Max that looks like yours and I was showing my wife how hot yours looks the other day. Your putting your rims up for sale???

If the deal comes through for the 18s I am...they are sold already but if something comes up and the buyer cant get them I will be putting them up for sale with tires...and at a very good price. I dont see why the current buyer wouldnt get them though...I will know in a day or so I hope.

What are you getting??? If you don't mind let the cat out of the bag. I want to do 18s myself. But I'm trying to get my car running good first. I have an appointment on Friday to get it hooked up to some computers to get it checked out. I think my ECU might be fried or something.

The Inox is actually a mirrored stainless steel rim. That is the reason I did not get it. It is not chrome, and I was hesitant to buy it. IF you call Tire Rack, they will tell you the same. I almost placed an order about 4 months ago for that wheel, and that is what they told me.

Thanks for all the opinions guys! I think I am goin to go with the R6's. I think the sorta gun metal non flashy finish would look cleaner. Thanks, Mike.
