Default Help me decide which wheel to get?

I am indecisive between these two wheel, help me decide!! They will be use for non-winter street driving and autox/HPDE. This will be use on a CW ITR with CF hood and red seat. <try to picture it with the wheels >


1. Team Dynamics Pro Race 1: 15x7, 5x114.3, 13.3 lbs, +40 offset, $460 shipped.

Pro: Quote,

"Designed to be the lightest heat-treated cast alloy 7.0 x 15 wheel on the market today, this wheel is some 25% lighter than a comparative conventional cast alloy road wheel. This is achieved through developments in Computer Aided Design and Finite Element Analysis, complete with full impact and fatigue testing. All conducted in house.

Wheels are now in use by Peugeot, for their one make series, and many other teams are expressing interest."


Cons: Love-it or Hate-it looks. Comes only in 15" black.






Rota Circuit 10 <MF10 imitator>, 16x7, 5x114.3, 15~16lbs, +45mm offset, $520 shipped

Pro: Looks A+!! Bronze color! 16" wheels"

Con: Heavier.









So, it's basically a performance vs looks competition. And I hope very few track ****** would look at this because if a 3 year-old will know the outcome of this poll.

Please imagine that it's you who want to make a decision on the wheels, not me.

The Team Dynamics look a lot better. A lot like my ce-28's. Mugens are cool, but they aren't that rare anymore, and Rota copies don't hold up as well under track abuse as the real thing does.

the team dynamics look good. better than the rotas. a little more expsensive, wider width, and about the same weight. go with those.

These Pro Race 1 wheels look like a good choice. Finally a cheap 15x7 5 lug. They look good too.

Nothing looks better than a 15 inch black wheel. Get the Pro Race 1.

I have a split personality on this one

One side is performance and practicality oriented, the other is a bling bling me.

Hmm....so far, you guys gave my blingness me a good beating
