Default Help me choose a wheel!

Looking for something affordable and somewhat sturdy for the new Midori. No Volks or super-expensive wheels. Heres my top two so far.... Car will see Street Driving, AutoX, and some HPDE's. Wheels available in a 15x7 is a plus too. Any suggestions, add em' to the poll! Thanks!

Car : (no better pictures yet, sorry)


Wheel 1 (White or Bronze C10)



Wheel 2 (Buddy Club SF)

i see ctr headlights, sir lip, flat moldings and i guess ctr mirrors. save up some more a buy some better rims.

not to hate against rota's(i would probably get some rota rnr's if i didn't have comps) but you spent some money on good stuff, why not your rims? with that said i would choose bronze c 10's on your list.

It's kind of pointless for me to go with "good" wheels. I had C8's on my old EG for 3 years. Not one curb, nick, paintchip, scratch or bend in them at all. A nice looking, affordable wheel is what im looking for. Dont get me wrong, I would love to go with MF10's, or TE's any day, but im not too sure I could justify the purchse of them. The car will see the street more than the track. Thanks to everyone so far for their votes. Feel free to add a choice.

These are a little more expensive than the wheels you posted above but they are still alot cheaper than a new set of Volks, plus they only weigh 9.5 pounds.

Thanks but no thanks. I do like the Buddy Clubs, but Rota's are not out of the question.

Very good choice as well, although Im not sure I could run anything smaller than 16" with that wheel. I think 15" would look funny. Im trying to stay with 15's or 16's due to tire cost.

I'm not opposed to rota rims on a daily driver. at least if the wheels get stolen it's not a big deal... or curb rash or pot holes. for rotas. if my car was daily driven, I'd prolly have a set of rotas in addition.
