help me pick rims!

Help me pick some rims! What do you think will look the best?
My car is black with PCCB's, I was thinking of picking up the yellow in the interior and the brakes in the wheels.
So far, I have the following on my list and in no particular order
360forged Multi or one of the mesh.
Champion Rs171
Hre P40 in black
Dymag 10 spoke in black

Thanks!

P40s... or something one piece because of the roads you have there

I still like the P43's on our 997S.2

Tough tough choice but for me it comes down to the P40s or the 360s. I would do the 360s if you want to make the wheel more customized but go with the P40s if you really want that wow factor.

Tough choice, did you consider the Cargraphic wheels Mike at RSS has? Looks fantastic and also new, so no one has them yet! or not many of them. If it were to be from that list, I would go dymag, its just special!

Isn't it a cast wheel and a bit heavy? But then again with the rough roads you get in Chicago, a cast wheel might not be all that bad.

I have been super lucky so far, you don't think they would hold up on our roads? It is impossible to miss every hole, I try, but it's impossible.

I mastered the art of dodging potholes, unless the pot hole occupies more than half of the road...
and am no joking, its true...

Hi,

i find it difficult to picture a particular wheel on the car. I wish i could do the photoshop thing.

My choice would be the Champion RS171, closely followed by the HRE P43.

The Dymags are another great looking wheel, and judging by these pics they seem to be very strong.

Rgds.

RS171 ftw

Had them on for about 8 months now driving everyday in NYC and though I avoid the worst roads there's no way to avoid every single pothole or "crevasse" and so far they've held up well. *knock on wood*

You'll notice how much lighter they are the second you pick them up out of the box. No complaints with them.
