Non-honda: GS400 20" wheel opinions. Keep Sevas S22 or MRR HR2? (4 pictures)

I recently listed these wheels for sale. There was a guy ready to buy, but he backed out at the last minute. I do not need to sell them anymore, but I still might if I get enough feedback from this thread. Finals are over and I will be lowering the car on Eibach springs today, after I get my jack back from my friend.

I am torn between these two wheels. The Sevas S-22 (20") and the MRR HR2 (20"). Both staggered.

Cost is also a factor. The Sevas are about $300 more than the MRRs. Just an issue to take into consideration.

Should I sell the Sevas and get the MRRs? Comments are greatly appreciated.

20" Sevas (pardon the dirty car and university apartment) 8.5 (front) and 10 (rear):






20" MRR 8.5 (front) and 9.5 (rear)(same setup I am looking to get), lowered on Tein coilovers:


Thanks in advance! =)

^^^ disregard above post of mine... saw link on your sig.

I am not feeling the MRRs, the top of each spoke look like they are popping out then the face starts to become concave from there... but that just could be the lighting form the pix. I like the Sevas design more but I think I need to see them mounted on the car for fitment.

Man keep the Sevas. Roll the fenders and space them out (if needed) to barely tuck under and get some coilovers and roll VIP.

The MMR's "look" more expensive & high-end imo. I like the lip on the Sevas but they are too bling for my taste.

Actually, yes. I am dropping the car tomorrow and putting on the sideskirts, lip and wheels also. The taillights have been cleared out (DIY). Last thing I have to do is get some chrome door handles and trunk bar. The car is almost done.

I decided to go with Work VS-xx's again! In 19" this time!

Here are my new wheels that will be going on tomorrow after the drop:


Next to G35 in my garage:

Very nice. I like the quality of vs-xx. After seeing them hand polished in person, I don't think any other finishes compare. What kit are you installing? Any pix of another gs that yours might look like (stance wise)?

am putting on a TTE lip and L-tuned sideskirts. A very very subtle lip kit combination. It will be dropped only an inch on Eibach springs. I will post pictures soon.

Nice choice with the 19" Works. I'm sure they have a weight advantage over the others.

Haha! I just caught that! I posted this on Honda-tech and I copied and pasted the title and thread over to this site. I didn't change it. I should have changed it to: Non-Maxima.

Haha, this comment made me laugh! I like how you added the 'AT ALL' part to the end of your comment. The offsets (no fender modification), lug pattern, BBK clearance, and width were special-ordered for a 2nd generation GS. If you are referring to the quality and design, then you are definitely entitled to your own opinion. I usually get new wheels every few months, so this look is just for the time being.
