MRR HR2 all the way. im not feelin the lowenharts. i was going to put the MRR HR2 on my car. but found a better deal on wheels and pick those up instead. i seen the MRR on the UCF10 looks pimp. I also seen it on the UCF21 dumpp. look hella pimp.

Given that the offset choices all blow,
here's my take on style:

Lowey: I like this wheel best for a VIP look. Can't you get it with custom offsets?

MRR: I like this wheel, but "404: VIP not found"

Privat: looks like a cheap wheel at Sears, meant for an '02 Focus
The basic style is appealing, but the finish and execution are lacking class.

Sherlock: I kind of like the lip-less look of a fairly full face wheel like this,
but it is not particularly VIP-looking.

Lowenharts. One of those wheels new cost as much as a set of some of the other wheels you listed. Besides that, the wheel is very nice.

good points guys. it's hard to think of everything when you're looking at wheels, so many things go through your head at once.
lol, the only reason i'm even looking at the lowenharts is that i found a brand new set for, well, 1/4 of the normal price, so in this instance they cost the same as the others... of course that's why the offset is weak and i'll need spacers.

Look at it this way, if you get bored of the Lowenharts, you can resell them for the same price your paying. You cant say that with the other wheels.


Lowenharts = Better investment

i dont know the weight, can't be much different from anything else. i don't really care anyway, this isn't my performance car! low and slow....

the only thing holding me back is the offset of the lowenharts. the price is great, and it makes me want them just for that, but they will fit like **** without spacers and i don't know if i really want spacers.

VIP is all about the DSL's on the rear (not talking about internet either). The bigger the lip, the pimper the look!! I say the first ones.

true, but i just want the fitment to be right too. it is almost more important to have the perfect fitment than the perfect style.
