OK guys and gals I need your help choosing some new wheels. I have narrowed it down to 3 wheels.

1st: ADR Model Flight 4 Silver 17x7 (Mugen MF8 knock off)...........Is this company any good at making wheels?

2nd: Nakayama RSX 5 Silver 17x7 (Work Emotion knock off)..........Is this company any good at making wheels?

3rd: Work Emotion CR Gunmetal 17x7 (Real Deal)...........I don't even have to ask about quality.

Price is the only thing I have against the Work wheel. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
EKON:D

My vote is with #3, even if it is pricy. #1 is an interesting design, one which you won't see too often, but it'll show off our brakes for what they are: undersized, plus our EPs are chunky, and I think that fact might make the wheels look spindly and fragile. Besides, I'm not crazy 'bout 'em anyhow. Design #2 is just fine, but I think I've seen that basic configuration from at least 5,000 other companies. So... #3. Sorry to pick the most expensive! :eek:

Yea, I also chose number 3. Number one is not a Mugen MF-8 knock-off. I'm not sure what that is exactly but it ain't pretty. If you have the money then you might as well get the real thing.

as long as I'm not paying for them, I'll go with the work emotions, too.

but since the money is actually coming out of your pocket, and you have to weigh looks, price, weight, AND strength for something that's on your OWN car.. don't listen to us.

I would recommend checking out the Konig Helium wheels before you buy, though. 17" wheel weighs a bit under 17lbs, they're strong as hell, come in two colors, and discount tire sells them for 145 a wheel. Tough price to beat. My problems with them is that they only come in 7" wide (King motorsports put an 8" wide wheel on theirs, for comparison), and the offset isn't aggressive enough.

Sorry for the late reply (lots of family in town). My car is Euro Yellow do you think the Work wheels will look good in gunmetal on that color? Do they make it in a silver?

Once again thanks,
