i personally dont like any of those. the rotas that look like the mugen rnrs without the red stripe would look nice on a silver ep. but then again, the real thing would be better. BUT then again again, the red stripe doesnt really match the silver. good luck on deciding rims.

Well, I don't think I'll get the 5zigens. I photoshopped it on my car. I took this picture to use: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid36/p631e238def4046f428459b70b75f4239/fd24a1d1.jpg
They look great on the black RSX, but not so great on the silver ep.
So now I just need to find a pic of the Konig Absolutes and Velox that I can photoshop on to my car. I saw a pic of the Velox on a car at a side angle...they looked great!
I'm hoping organdonor will take a pic of his konigs from the side.

So far, it's looking like the velox.

I'm wondering if the heliums will look too cheap. I don't know. I want them, seeing how they are lighter weight. I wish I could just go to discount tire company and have them put the rims on and driver around on each set a different day. Then pick which one I want :D

in hyperblack also? I was wondering if it looked like too much was going on with the extra spokes. is sooooo hard for me to picture. I've never owned a hatch till now, I'm used to owning a coupe. your long time hatch owner :D so maybe you know what you're saying

okay, so now it's the 5zigens MK-6 for sure, now should I go with the hyperblack or silver. I think the hyperblack will look great

either these

or these

real or fake, but if you go with the mugens make sure you get bronze. that would look badass on a silver ep.

I really don't like the spoons. the mugens are nice, but not for me. I think it's going to be the 5zigens
