What is everyone's opinion on these wheels in 18x8.5:

LEGENDE

They would be going on a black 2gb with talon 2gb front bumper, 2ga talon side skirts, 2gb talon spoiler, and 2gb eclipse rear bumper.

I am also open to other wheel suggestions, mainly looking for a 5 spoke design, but any concave style would look good too, but it doesn't seem like there are many concave options out there for these cars.
 
I got some Privat rims on my Dsm as well:) I personally think those rims would be better looking if they didn't have a stepped lip like that. Try some of the tenzo rims they make pretty cool five spokes and aren't all that pricey.
 
personally i think you should get the set that you like the most. It is your car, Not ours. we could tell you for days what rims look great in our opinions, but thats what they are, opinions. Fact is, you are building your car to your specs not ours.
 
Personally not a fan of the silver billets around the outside.

How much you trying to spend?
Im a fan of
Enkei Wheels - Classic Series - ENKEI92
and of course the
Enkei Wheels - Racing Series Wheels - RP03

I'm trying to spend around 800 for the wheels and these fall right into that range. The first one you have pictured I'm not so into, I have a 6 spoke wheel right now and I really liked it but it's time for a change.

There are the ones I have now.

The second wheel you posted looks good and I will look into those thanks!


Motegi Trak Lite Flat Black Wheels

I'm a much bigger fan of the traklites if you want a 5 spoke

I like the traklites, very light, but that also means expensive and I don't see them holding up to the shitty streets of Chicago.

I got some Privat rims on my Dsm as well:) I personally think those rims would be better looking if they didn't have a stepped lip like that. Try some of the tenzo rims they make pretty cool five spokes and aren't all that pricey.

The stepped lip doesn't bother me, I like how it has an old school racing wheel look to it. How long have you had your wheels? And how well have they been holding up?

I know, it's just good to get some input from others who have similar cars.

Another wheel I have been considering is the Rota d2, but it's not easy finding them in a silver face instead of the black. I just really like 5 spoke wheels with rivets, really wish they still made the old racing hart c5 as those have always been my favorite.

Thanks, one of the main issues I have is that they are only 18x7 and I would like something wider. And they are showing their age, I've had them for 6 years and I need to refinish the lips on them and they have gotten scraped up lately. So I figure now is a good time since I'm swapping most of the car over to the talon style.
 
I don't really like the bullets on them either. Other than that I like them. You should be able to find a set of 18x8 Motegi rims in your price range. I got mine new for $600.
 
I like them. I think they will look good with your car too black on black.

Let me know how much for your old ones i need some wheels bad. 88330
 
I like them, they have a nice clean and simple, classy look. I think they would look really nice on your black DSM.
