Default Wheel Opinions
My hubby wants to buy a set of rims for his R33. I agree that the car needs new rims, but there is a huge difference in preference between our styles of rims. He's narrowed it down to two options, and I thought I would see what you guys think he should get.





My husband likes the deeper dish of the first one, but its twice the price of the second. What do you think?

Both are nice looking mesh-style wheels but out of those two, I'd opt for the VS-XX.
