I am just wondering if anyone has pics of S13s, or any cars with the following rims:
1. SSR Competition

2. Konig Imagine

3. Tenzo RS-5

4. Tenzo Shu-4

5. Tenzo Shu-10

EDIT: If you don't have any pics could you atleast give your opinion on which you think would look better in a Fastback

Get the SSR...you'll regret the Konig or Tenzo R later when the clear coat starts pealing and the paint fading.

I love how these look too but, I saw an S13 with em and they looked a little wierd but it might have been the angles.

I'd go with the SSR Competitions. Their lighter than all the rest. 18's are only 14-14.5 lbs. Plus in my opinion they look better.

SRR, I would even consider any of those other rims even if they were 1/3 the price. &nbsp;Do you know the weight/price/width/diamater of all those? &nbsp;I'd say that should be a bigger factor than looks...looks are important, just saying you don't want heavy rims just cauz they look good.

whateverjames, those are the 5zigen rims right? &nbsp;Aren't they supposed to be pretty heavy?

I've always liked Konig Rhythms

Except for the little fact that they are heavy, skiny, and don't allow good airflow <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

they're 22lbs honestly, i don't if that's too heavy or not. they aren't the lightest, but they are 17x8 i do know there are lighter wheels like buddy clubs but i don't like the looks of them.

how the hell did the SSR's even get thrown in the mix with the rest of them? remember that sesame street song. "one of these things is not like the others........one of these things just doesn't belong........." well yeah, the competition's should be reserved for one thing COMPETITION. they're expensive as hell, but are also light as hell. i hear they do crack though, so potholes and bridge joints on the street might not be the best idea.
