Which ones?

I'm looking to get a new set of rims for the car, and I wanted to get opinions on the following rims:

Exel BK-7:


Motegi Racing DP5:


Exel F5:


Ace Manta:


Which ones would look good on a Merlot 2002 SE with all the added features minus the Navi?

I like the F5's, but then again I am biased for 5 spoke, clean rims

Yeah, i voted for the motegi racing myself, but I wanted to get a gauge of what people liked.

The Motegi Racing ones are being shown at 620.00$ USD for 4.

= 726.00$ CAD for me, plus shipping. Ouch.

I was just checking out the wheels at www.wheelmax.com and i sort of made a 'short list' of what I wanted to get.

I'll be keeping my stock rims for the winter, and putting one of those badboys on the rest of the time.

I would go with the Exel BK-7. 18s or 19s would look good.

Are Motegi Racing DP5 real two piece rims. If not, I would not by them, I’d get something that looks the way it really is - Exel BK-7. Personally, I don’t understand how people can consider that they got cool rims if they are only made to look like those pricy two piece rims.
