Default Another Rim Thread // Seeking Opinions =)

"So I heard u guys say chrome is too flashy. So I decided to check other finishes. I saw the silver Tenzo-R RS5 which seem to be nice. I also saw the hyperblack R-1 Reflex rims. I'd prefer the R-1 rims bcuz my cousin already has black RS5's. I was curious if anyone knew the color really looked that way as shown in the image or is it actually darker?/ I'm also looking at Ace Zeus Gunmetal with polished front and lip. Opinions please =)
If you like any other rims feel free to post them as well."


Tenzo-R RS-5. Silver w/ Chrome Lip


R-1 Racing Reflex. Hyper Black


Ace Zeus. Gunmeal w/ Polished Front and Lip

Thanks "that boy", outta curiousity though, what's wrong with chrome? eheh. Btw Seize, thanks for the suggestions. Never really thought about having many spokes. I viewed a couple ppl's ES's frm here with those kinda rims but doesn't really feel like... VIP to me I guess. More of a sporty kinda look. Keep the opinions coming though guys! I appreciate any advice =)

Wow those WORK Equip rims are nice. Sadly, I don't think I'm gangsteR enough for 19's even though I said I wanted VIP >.< Thanks for the searches man. Feel bad for making u waste ur time. Saying one thing then saying it's too much. Sorry man haha. Maybe third time is the charm if ur not already pissed? lol. I'm thinking something between VIP and subtle?/ Mid-sized spokes as well too.

I checked up the rest of Works wheels and thought the Euroline SL looked pretty nice. Thanks for bringing up Works rims.

the originals i believe are produced by leon hardiritt, ordens are the name. nice wheel, but discontinued. i would say try the work sl's. nice and classy wheel. but their lips on most work wheels are strange. they are really round and... i dont know how to even explain it. but pictures dont show them. search for others first. or have someone photochop them for you.
goodluck

Thanks for the advice Charley & the heads up about the lip. And are you trying to torment me Vix by showing me nice rims that only come in 20's? lol... Those Giovanna look awesome.

Charley is correct, the WORK SL's have been discontinued. Although Leon Hardiritt still makes the Orden. Oh and another thing, the Orden is slightly different from WORK's Euroline SL.

You can see it in the illustrations here

Leon Hardiritt Orden



WORK Euroline SL




You can see, the difference is where the spoke meets the rim/barrel. The Orden is much more flared out and the slit in between the spokes is larger and more pronounced on th SL. Overall, I prefer the Orden

Thanks for the information pertaining to the Orden and the SL rims. Though it's a bit different, the Orden's look just as good.
