Poll: Which of these should be my new wheels?
I'm torn between the 18x8.5 BBS RX II or the 17x8 Kinesis K5.
I can get them both for almost the same price with the appropriately sized tires, but which is the better choice? The 17's will be lighter and probably give me better performance, but the 18's are gorgeous.

<center><img src="http://www.getpowerhouse.com/side.jpg"></center><p>Here are the BBS RX II's in an 18x8.5" setup. They are SOOOO pretty, but a little bit heavier, bigger, and the rubber is more expensive. Plus, there are way more BBS wheels out there than Kinesis wheels.
Still, I think they're some of the nicest looking wheels out there...

I KNEW you'd try and catch me on that! I'm a sucker...
for a pretty face just like the next guy 
25 for a 18x8.5 is not bad either, but if you want performance, you shouldn't be looking a the 18's anyway.

You asked for that one, Ed. Actually, we'd all rather wake up next to a supermodel every AM...
Who cares if she can cook!?
I kind of lucked out...I married a woman that looks like a supermodel & cooks like a gourmet chef. Now if I could just convince her to never talk, I'd be the happiest man alive!
