Please help me choose the rims--->

I need your help guys. Which rims would you recomend for me. I will be using 225/50-16 tires on these rims. Just tell me which one you would buy.

1) 16x8

2)16x7.5

I like #2 better. The price difference is minimal but I am thinking that the 1st rim is wider and will give my car a more aggressive look.

Let me know your point of view.

I would go with #2, but mainly cuz I'm not really a fan of fat spokes

If you wanna help me buy a set for $500 then I will but before that happens I will try to get what I can afford. I had the $$ before but I wasted it all on junk. And I dont want 19s. I want my car to be fast and brake better that why Im getting 16s. The qustion is still which do u like better?

Wait wait wait.....

you're upgrading from 16s to 16s?

say it with me.... SEVENTEEEEENNNNNNs.....

There is no point in this...

I would probably pick the ROH Reflex ones

but i'm a little bias.. they are 16.5 lbs each.. 16 x 7... there is no 16 x 8 as far as i know...

the 2nd ones are more pricey.. right?

but again

whats the point of going from 16s to another set of 16s?

to get an extra .3 of an inch on your tire width?
come on man...

I second that.. But if you are going to upgrade you should at least get 17's..

I like both sets, I would go with #2, I think 17s would look better!

There is a Max around the corner from my house

With MM-11s. I'll see if I can get a picture for you next week (Monday / Tuesday), and you can see what the Mille's look like for real. I think the guy said he has 17s.

The first ones blow.

And yeah, don't spend your money on upgrading to the same size / more expensive tire. Wait a bit and buy the bigger ones (I'd go 18, btw).

I'm not even going to pick because it doesn't matter which one you get. THEY ARE STILL 16" WHEELS! 17"s. Buy them. Save your cash. You will regret it.

Neither one will give your car an aggressive look because they are TEENY!
