Does the 5-spoke Hydra look odd with the 4-bolt pattern? It makes the wheel asymmetric...



Or maybe I'm just thinking about it way too much.

Yes, you're thinking about it too much.

Grats on the new wheels, I'm not sure I like the choice, but only when compared to the other choices. It is still nice.

I didn't buy anything yet. I've still got perseveration time.

I think what looks odd is that picture's framing. It's neither of just the wheel nor of the car so it's very hard to say if the wheel matches the car.

I think you are thinking about it too much. not that I have ever had that problem . . . you are going to love any of the choices you are considering.

I just ordered Enkei RP03s.

Evidently the Hydras would have rubbed with 215s due to the offset... and the RP03s are lighter and stronger anyway.



Here's a dude's R53 MCS with them:
