The Motegi's for sure, I was looking at those exact wheels a couple of weeks ago....When my current 17" wear out I'll be upgrading to 18" wheels and Im going for a full black rim with a red line around them, the MR117 if available then, if not then whatever will be available at the time.

I like them both, but picked the second. IMHO a basic fat 5 spoke is the best looking rim on a GP.

Here's a real quick photoshop I did of those MR117's on my car...since our cars are almost identical you can get a feel of how they will look on your car (I also did it for myself too :razz:) hehe

I don't want red calipers on my car, sure it could look good but not the look im after and everyone also has them, Im going to be painting them black instead...I like the murdered out look and don't want things to "stand-out" on the car. IMO the only thing that I want to stand-out somewhat on the car is the wheels which is why I like the tiny red line on the wheels, still gives a murdered look with the black wheel but the red just defines the wheels from the tires a little without beeing to flashy...hell im not even a big fan of my tips and current wheels, they stand out too much on the all black car...id rather have black anodized/black chrome tips but couldn't find anything In the size/length that I liked, I will have to do something custom eventually to remedy that... :???:

It looks good, better in fact :) Im not a fan of the style of that particular wheel but I like the chosen color theme, black on black with just a small red line around the wheel.

So you ended up with 17" wheels, I thought you were after 18"?

for the 18" it would of been a lot more beans, just could not convince myself it was worth it for just one more inch

I hear ya, that's why I went with 17" when I bought my wheels, price on the wheels/rubber is considerably less...But after having 17" for over a year now I really want 18", fills up the wheel wells better and overall looks better...we will see what next summer holds for the GP :razz:

They look pretty good. I recommend you paint the rotor hats so you don't see the rust.
