I like the first choice myself. I hope you plan on getting at least 17s. That pattern wouldn't look good in 16inch in my opinion because there is alot going on.

make sure you like gunmetal compared to hyperblack, some people see the gunmetal but then when they buy them they see that they should have gone with hyperblack. Personally the hypers stand out more at night than gunmetal, and if your looking for the jdm look and are thinking of neons or showing your car in the future the hypers would look good. You can also look at the bronze colored ones they look awsome on blue cars! Another thing is rim size, this is the hardest decesion to make especially if you like the big rim look. 17's are cheeper but trust me if your gonna spend 800-900 dollars on a set of rims you want people to notice them. You might not think so but 1 more inch is a big difference. If you go 17, go with 17/215/40 with an offset of 42, If you go 18 go 18/215/35. I hope this helps and try the REV line in www.speedandstyle.com, excel wheels have a bad rep of cracking. Good luck I hope this helps.

Good luck with Wheelmaxx. I was going to buy rims from there cause they were having a huge sale and free shipping. I had 3 sets of rims picked out. I called them with my first choice, no more left. I sat for a couple of days and picked out another pair, didn't have those either. Then I had a 3rd choice which is the same ones you are looking at (the 2nd ones pictured). They didnt have those either. They may have them in stock now cause this was like a month ago.

Just in a mood yesterday.
But all in all I think it IS stupid what was done to the car. Can I not state how feel about a car? Some people have more dollars than sense!! The wheels look nice. I love the color. IMHO the rest is a waste of money!
That is my deal.

I ordered some Exel rims, and they offer for $80 a 3 year warranty on all the Exel rims, so even if you bend (or crack) a rim, you can email a pic of the rim, and they will replace it...no questions asked. ****....I had a set of 5 Zigen and bent 2 rims within the first week of having them (note: I have owned many sets of rims, and 5 Zigen were the poorest quality I have seen)...which is why I went with Exel-Cause if they are gonna bend at least they have a warranty.

ALSO: be careful which offset you order...Only a couple Exel rims will fit the P5 w/o rubbing....and neither of them are pictured above.

Good luck.
