Want some input on which rims to get!

Ok, I'm stuck between a couple styles and I'm looking for somewhat objective opinions Thanks for picking one or the other, please don't turn it into a "those both suck get these" or a flame thread please
AZUL 17's hyperblack with polished lip
KOBE 17's silver or hyperblack
MSR 17's silver with polished lip
I'm really leaning towards the AZUL hyperblacks
Thoughts?

out of the 3, i like the AZULs the best. why don't u get wheels through JLBmotorsports out here in corona? they are a REALLY reputable shop and they give me the best deals, since they're down the street from me and i buy stuff from them all the time. let me look for their thread on honda-tech..their wheel/tire packages are comparable to the site you're interested in buying your wheels from...but better quality

i know u posted that u don't want people saying that these wheels suck and you should get this...but i'm tryin to help u save some money here on better wheels the guys there are cool, and if you mention: "my friend Johnny with the white prelude recommended me to you guys," they will surely give you a better deal

5Zigen FN01R-C light weight and look similar to the ones you posted... that'd be my suggestion.

Never heard of "Drifz" myself...

I'll sell you the rims in my sig, with tires for $300 shipped. PM me if interested, I've got threads up at SHO and AP, just trying to get the buggers out of my garage.

They're 17inch Kazera's on General UHP tires. These are lightweight wheels, and I'll throw in the 25 or so locking lugnuts that were made for them. Let me know because my wife won't let me buy my new toy until I get these things out of here.

Feel free to check out the tire and wheel weights on tire rack - you'll find that both are lightweight, and that the tires come highly recommended.

Hey thanks a lot for the offer but I already got wheels and tires. Didn't have a ton to spend so I shopped a bit, bought 17" ICW racing rims from a friend reference at wholesale and picked up a new set of 215/40/ZR17 Toyo Proxes T1R from a member on here
