Default I trying to decide between these two rims. Can you help

I just purchsed my Blue Onyx XB and I am trying to figure out what set of 18 inch rims to put on it. These are the two rims that I have found on tire rack and I was wondering what you guys thought. I was also wondering if the TR motorsport rim is a good rim I have never heard of that brand before. Thanks for your help

I'd give you an opinion, but it says session expired and no wheels show up

There are a number of way to do it, but perhaps the easiest is to go to the 'product details'
page for each wheel.

Near the top right of the page is a clickie to e-mail the page to a friend. click that and fill out
YOUR e-mail address and name in both places and click to send it near the bottom of the page.

Once you get the e-mails, you will see a nice URL that will take anyone directly to that page.
Copy it and paste it into a post here. Like this...

Code:
First wheel
That's
[b]*the url to go to* ] *thing to click*

and it will come out just like this:

First wheel

That way, we can just click on it and go to the same page you were looking at.

(If you just paste the super-long url onto the page between url tags, it means a lot of
horizontal scrolling for folks, but it will still work.

Hope that helps.

(There are other ways, too...)

I would go for the 2nd one. They are "lightweight" and also less cost, best of both worlds.

Call me crazy, but with 4 lugs, a 5/10 spoke doesnt look as good as the 8/16 spoke.

I like TRM R2
