Opinions on wheels? I can't decide on which I like more
I'm looking for something thats really clean and looks somewhat stock. I'm only going for 17" I'm scared that 18" will feel to rough and have a hard time handling the abuse of NY roads. I'm not in the market just yet. I figure I'll buy new wheels when these tires wear out. I just bought them in the beginning of last spring so maybe by the end of this summer? I guess it depends on how many track days I get to but anyway
The contestants:
Hartman B7 RS4
$230 a piece(cast not forged)
Unsure of their weight

Hartman RS4 DTM
$260 a piece
I think they're around 23lbs?

the Fliks are great wheels for the price...
the only problem people seem to have with them is the paint finish chips really easy. When I had my 18" Flik Justice wheels I had no problems with them.

Depends...
If you want to keep the classic look, I'd go with
the B5 RS4s. If you want to change it up, but still
keep the classy look, I'd go B7 RS4. Although I
still like the OZ wheels too.
