Default Which rims would you get?

Ok he's the thing, i'm in iraq i have my cousion and a friend taking care of my EG coup, i posted some here's a pic


(it's going to stay that color, just get repainted)

i'm looking to getting new rims, i found somewhere that sells band new Mugen M7's for like 2700. It's not that i don't have the cash i do, but i don't see myself spending 2700 of a set of rims when the car only cost me 2500 just don't make sense to me. But i really like them rims so i went to the holy place EBAY. and i found these

Used real M7's 1200-1400

Rota Knock-offs 500

Rota Spoon knock offs 400



I know most of you will say go with what i like but knowing me i'd do the unsenseable thing and buy brand new M7's just cause i have the money, but i'm trying to be senseable. so your opion would help thanks.

Or if you have any other ones you want to add just let me know

depends on what u wanna do. Are you trying to look good or go fast? IF u want speed i would get the rotas and spend the rest of the cash elsewhere.

agreed...actually I'd get the rotas and paint the face black witha polished lip.
Oh yeah...those wheels are heavy as hell. 2 of those boxed weigh as much as all 4 of my Heliums boxed

It would be dope to have the real deal M7s, but I think the $$$ saved on the Rotas could go towards the motor.

i say if you got the money go with the m7's. but if you are unsure if you want to spend that much go with some slips, aint nothing wrong with slips, go with some polished ones though
