Default Which rims do you prefer - edit: I choose I - Borbet Y titan

I have to, I got to change my rims, they are uggly.
I think it's better to choice 17" because sometimes I go to work in Farm and the 18 inch will be to fragile.

I m open for a new idea or opinion, maybe 18 inch are better !!

I'm not the best to Photoshop, I use Paint. lol

A - Borbet Y Cristal 17"



B - BBS SR 17"



C - MAM RS4 17" palladium painted



D- TEC Speedwheels ASR


E - Racer Target Silver


F - For fun - American old style


G - Oxigin 19 Oxspoke Black


H - ALUTEC RAPTOR RACING Black


I - Borbet Y titran Mat




Tel me which one do you prefere, or if you have anthore example?

Black ones. Not a fan of black wheels (same wheel in silver I would get that) but if you're into them they look way better than the others which have the generic pattern so many people go with.

Would have to go option C. it looks most "oem" and sporty and not overly cliche like the others.

Ok, thanks for your feedback. I think too, grey wheels are common, black are not bad and less messy. I keep on to looking ofr with this color.

Two points for the C, then, but what means "oem"?

Of those options, I'd vote C also

OEM means original equipment manufacturer (meaning it's sold by the manufacturer of the vehicle, in our case Toyota / Lexus)

C- is my favorite one
to me the car lines and tone go with darker color wheels.

The silver color on the wheels makes the vehicle look for an older boring person.

A or B here, that's a really good looking wheel.
Would go 18 at least if you can swing it as well.
