Help Me Decide Tuners - new wheels!

[LxiMax]

I need some help deciding on which set of wheels would look best on my 95 GST. The first set is 17" ADR DV8 in Sand Black. The second set is 17" Konig Hotswap, Opal in color, with Fake CF spokes. Disregard the tires on the Hotswaps, they are long gone and for the record they were 215/40/17. ( Came with the wheels, never ran them. ) Either set will have 225/45/17 Hankook V12 Evo's on them. ( Currently on the ADR's. ) Any and all input is appreciated.

I gotta say the first ones. I am not a huge fan of the chromey ones. They both look good though.

The sand black looks much better. The rim design is cleaner as well. Thin 5 spokes look bleh to me. Chrome also doesn't look good on our cars, especially a silver one.

For the record, they're not actually chrome. If you've ever seen the Dejon Tool SMIC piping, it's like their Almost Chrome finish, without the bling. The picture isn't the best either.

First ones for sure

 

[cl1ckclack]

1st ones for sure... the second set looks cheesy imo

 

[TheRock0720]

First ones - without question!

 

[phunny]

1st ones for the win, the 2nd are ugly

 

[LxiMax]

Sounds like a majority ruling! The first set however will become my winter set this year since I bought them used. I'd like to find something for next year in a Gunmetal or Hyper Silver color. The flatness ( no sheen or gloss ) of the DV8's just turns me off a bit. :/

God, not Konigs...

Oem wheels should be a third choice!

Sand black ones. The second one's look like they are trying too hard to be cool and failing...

Chrome rims dont look good on anything

1000% disagree, but it needs to be done properly. That's not the case with these Konigs.

Its so hard to find OEM wheels in my area. I'd like to find a set of 97+ GST 16's and a set of 4G 17's.

1000% agree. Classic and muscle cars look great with chrome rims.

I'm not really a fan of either rim listed, but of the two, I would go with the ADR DV8s.

Porsche offsets are wonky. Pay attention to what the specs are...

Wonky means lopsided, you know that right?

 

[LandoAWD]

Do you want to talk about accepted vernacular, or the offsets?

 

[TalonJohn94]

God, not Konigs...

Hey I have Konigs! Granted I was a teeneger (like 10 years ago) when I bought them. Oh and they're something called the Tantrums and not chrome

Anyway, I really like the first set. They seem to match the lower trim color and seem appropriate for the vintage of the vehicle.

 

[Sebba]

Just pointing out your misuse of the word.

 

[LandoAWD]

Just pointing out your misuse of the word.

Thanks, Miriam Webster. Again, accepted vernacular...

Edit: Webster's also points out "askew" or "faulty" as meanings. You left that out of your detailed and on-topic response.

Now, should I point out your recent misuse of the website, or are you moving on?

 

[jtmcinder]

What is this train-wreck doing in handling tech, anyway? The whole point of having a search button that allows you to choose which sub-forums is so I can avoid, as much as possible, Sebba's posts.
