    Please help me decide which wheels will look best on my PiP. I'm leaning towards the WedsSport TC 105Ns (last picture)

    As long as it is your money, I like the Rays/Volk forged wheels. :D

    The first one looks like Scion TC wheels.

    Do you have the weights?

    Well, so sad that so often you get what you pay for.....

    But I had to vote for the most expensive, because I think it looks the best. Going solely on looks I'd go #2, #3 and last #1.

    RPF1 17x7: 15.0 lbs
    C345 18x9: 17.4 lbs (I couldn't find a 17x7 weight, but I'm predicting around mid 15 lbs)
    TC 105N 17x7: 14.7 lbs

    Yeah, I agree that the C345s are beautiful, but I'm not sure they're worth $3120 before taxes, shipping, tires, etc. They're sort of a...dream modification :)

    I would personally go with #3. Saves you money in order to do other mods (y)

    Weds, Enkei, and Rays in that order. C345 good look but the two different spoke design bother me.

    I'm a sucker for RPF1s, so they'd always be my first choice, but the Weds are a close second.

    I would get rims with a fatter lip, with that said 2 would be my preference if money wasn't an issue. =]

    Get 3 if you want to compromise.

    Rays, Weds, Enkei.

    That's too much money for wheels though. :)
