LOL. I figured... I think I am going to go with the RAZR's. I really want a stock , non-ricer look and I think that those will satisfy my picky tastes.

Definitely Razor between the two. There's also the Raze R74. It's very similar in a 6-spoke design in the same price range. Good price at edgeracing.com

Are they not reliable wheels? I had looked at Enkei's for a while, but Im extremely picky about how my wheels look. I like for them to be all the same color and no emblems that stick out. Sometimes I think Im too picky...

Well I'm looking for a wheel that looks like the Azul RAZR in hyperblack. It looks exactly the way I like. I didn't buy the Enkei Evo 5 just because of the blue ENKEI that is written on the lip of the wheel. I have pink brake calibers and am very OCD about stuff matching. I was afraid the blue would clash with my calibers. Honestly any wheel that resembles the RAZR and doesnt have any kind of off color writing on it would be wonderful. Im hope to spend less than $1000 on just wheels with no tires, but my max is $1500. I am fully open to suggestions though, I have a Super White 2008 tC with pink calibers. Let me know what you think would look nice.

i'm relaly really really partial to mesh wheels and the best mesh wheel for that price range is the hp evo's

http://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/Wh...227&CheckFit=1

for some reason they look really gross in that picture but if you do a search online you'll see that they're pretty nice.

If you don't really like those and are looking for a 5 spoke

check out the axis hiro's

http://wheelsnext.com/wheels-tires-p...l%20Gloss.html

http://wheelsnext.com/wheels-tires-p...ck%20Flat.html

they're a little more expensive but a much better wheel than the azul's.

I like the mesh pretty well. It looks nice. Can someone send me pictures of their tC with mesh wheels though, Im having a hard time visualizing them on my car. I had also looked into the Konig Unknowns, but so many ppl have them.

Thank God you didn't get Unknowns.

I don't understand why people like them.
