i love the R6 more then the ev0 5. but hey anything works. i haven't seen a thread in the show-off section where there isn't 1 person" not feeling "another member's wheel. so get what you want cause u know someone on here isn't going to like it. plus you've been on here long enough to see many pictures of cars with wheels.

Still 5 spoke is a timeless classic.

personally I do like 5 spoke, which is why I have the stock ones on... I just wanted to see everyone's opinion on the matter, I've seen a set of rims that were amazing on someone's ride, (forgot the name and forgot the member) so I'm just trying to gather some ideas right now.

I hate these threads. It's your car. Find a rim you like you put it on. Why do so many people on here look for approval from other people before buying something with their money for their car? Everybody has their own tastes. I like some 5-6 spoke but really like the mesh look on our car. It all depends on the style, size, drop, etc. Just try finding 5x4.5(114.3) rims and see if you find anything you like.

well I just wanted to find out people's opinions cause it is good to get some pictures of other rims that I don't know about. ultimately of course I'll get the one I like. But if someone else showed me one that I've never seen and end up liking, then that would be of great help. So even if u hate threads like these it still serves me a purpose...

Best thing to to prior to starting a thread is look in the members rides section, or spend a 1/2 hour on cardomain.

I have Z33 tracks, Motegei Tracklites, Atix 5's, and MMEV5's. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. Get whatever wheel you want.

Z33 tracks are nice looking 18's w/ a nice offset that lets them sit fairly flush, and are light or 18's. Still not as light as my traklites.

MMEV5's used to look good, but cripes they're heavy as sin and their look is getting old

Motegi's are light as hell. Improved my MPG 12-15%. But their looks are either love/hate. They've grown on me since they've been on.

Atix 5's look cool, but are average as far as weight is concerned, and the looks are fading.

thats what I meant. Yeah I know you want people to let you in on rim choices but a lot of guys have the same rims on here. Not that all of them do, thats no where near true. Just that doing your own searching usually will turn up good results.

Has anyone installed the new 6th gen multi spoke wheels yet? I think those 18's would be nice. I have 17" ADR-SZ1's.

E-6,
Depending on what color your car is but when I had my black 97 Se I thought the 350Z rims or the 5.5 Gen rims looked best on it. But I personally like spokes, and no center caps like on the 00.
