Opinions Please, choosin my wheels

Its my turn to ask the question. I am trying to decide between 18" Nakayama Vador's and Nakayama Phantom GT-R's both in hyperblack.

Vador 5 and Phantom GT-R Pictured in Hyperblack

RSX on 18" Vadors

Ofcourse the Phantom GT-R's will look like 18" SSR GT-1's on a Max except for the slightly different Hyper Black.

Let me know what you think. And don't tell me to just buy the GT-1's unless you are gonna send me some coin.

I prefer the RSX's:



I don't like the thin spoke look of the GT-Rs.



*Edit-- Damned image doesnt show up. Psh.

I showed my wife both rims today. She likes the Vadors better than the GT-Rs. A few weeks ago she helped me decide on the GT-Rs over Evo5's. If every place with good prices on the GT-Rs wasn't out of stock, I would already have them. But now I think I am feeling the Vadors a bit more. I think they look sweet on that guys Acura.

Give me some more opinions.

Thanks

i say keep looking because your 1st choice was not what you want now. look around some more and come up with some more backup wheels.

Between those two, I'll pick the Vador 5. However, there are many other wheels that look better than those 2.
