Default help me decide on rims y0

I like the rota gt3's (gab copy) but i also like the mugen mr5's.

they'll go on a dark grey crx. either set of rims would be black w/ a polished lip.

someone chop me some pics please.

MR5's are nice, but they'll cost alot more, especially if you want 15".
On top of that, GT3 is 15x7 while the MR5 is 15x6.5, but I wouldn't be surprised if the MR5 weighs less.

How can you compare Rota's to Mugens? The MR5's are a multi piece wheel, they are heavy....but who cares, they're Mugens!! To me it's a no brainer, and I personally think 14's look SICK on a crx. Mugen > Rota

So a wheel thats heavier is better just cos of the name?!

All that says is:

Mugen marketing> Rota marketing
