Vote Which Wheel for me?

[xintersecty]

I am getting down to picking out wheels for my ride. I have a 2006 aveo5. I am sorry this is not the best picture but at least you can see the snow we got in SC the week before. I want to go with black wheels as black goes with everything. I also wanted black as once the car get's moving, then you can see into the brakes.

Here is the pic of the car


Here is wheel choice number one Maxxim SE10


Here is choice number two Motegia FF7:


The Motegia FF7 wheel has a cover over the wheel nuts. Has anybody have any experience with this wheel? I like the looks of the wheel but I am leery of the hub cappy thingy.

Oh yeah, I forgot, I am open to suggestions, comments, criticisms, and whatever. I am looking at Custom Tires, Custom Wheels, Tires and Wheels Packages, Parts and Accessories for your Car, Light Truck, and SUV from Performance Plus Tire for my retailer. Does anybody know anything about them? And on the poll, the haters option is not really about hate, it's just both wheels don't appeal. I thought it would be a little funny.

As a person who is not a fan of dual drilled wheels I would go with the motegis.

I had a set of BBS with a cover like that, it twist locks into place. The ones I had were pretty solid and I got the rims used. U needed a rag and a pair of channel locks to get them off though. The rag to keep from scratching the cover. I don't have an opinion on wich rims u should use, I just wanted to share some knowledge.

Daug, thanks very much! I have an additional question linking back to Rabbit's post. Did your BBS wheels have the additional holes for the different offsets? I think finding wheels with the dedicated 4 holes with the 100mm offsets is going to be hard to find. At least in the low cost wheels.

Do both of the wheels have white lips? I don't know if I'm seeing things or not on my ancient work monitor.

i think they are "polished"

you can buy single drilled wheels, you just look a little harder, or run a set with a center cap. they look more appropriate to me because it takes away the "universal" fit to help it work with your car..

I think the exposed part is the exposed metal on the wheel. This can be an advantage to paint that part to match the car. (if the paint holds up). I am beginning to notice that getting detailed specs is damn hard. Like what metal or weight.

Rabbit, I have a question. Is your objection, looks, mechanical or both for wheels that are drilled for two different hole spacings?

My BBS rims were originally from a mazda miata so they were dedicated 4x100 drilled holes. I don't know if they were stock or aftermarket I just know what I was told by the guy that sold em' to me and that they would have fit my honda but not my aveo.
