Beloved RPM2's (Boretex)

..and the wildcard.. 5Zigen Zr520's

My vote is for the RPM2's out of the 3. If I were you tho I'd get white rims. Your car looks great with white

Except for the mirrors, your car and mine look like twins. I put the grill, plate holder and other things on also. Just changed my mirrors black.

I would go with the middle rim. Looks cool on a mini.

Those 5Zigen wheels would look hot. Blue & gold go so well together.

I like the gold, bronze color, would look good with the blue.

I seriously considered the RPM2's but went for Team Dynamics because I could reliably get the right offset and a 17x8 size. Enkei is well thought of so i'd imagine that it being in their 'racing series' it would be a decent wheel. It's about 18 lbs I think so it certainly fits the requirements as far as weight goes. I think you might get tired of the bronze after a while.

Seeing as how this thread was started in May I wouldn't be surprised if EDM already bought his wheels and i'm wasting my typing. Oh well. Good to get the post count up

I vote 5zigens.

RPM is a very nice wheel though. A very good buddy of mine has them on his hyper blue mini. They look good.
