Rotational Perseveration
As I wait for the Liberty to sail from Antwerp to Southhampton to NYC, I'm left pondering wheel possibilities. They will be 17x7, and shod with 215/45-17 F1 GSD3s or RE-01Rs. (probably the former)
I think I'm down to these three. I've come to the conclusion that given my NYC commute, strength is much more important than weight. Ideally, I'd get forged BBSs -- RGRs? (light AND strong), but I don't want to shell out $500+ per wheel. How would you rank these alternative choices? O.Z. Hydra: Enkei GTC01: O.Z. Superturismo: I think I'm leaning toward the Superturismos at the moment.

I vote for the hydra. I've always liked that look and they're easier to clean.

If you really have to get this car, I vote for the hydra. Reminds me of cayman & rx-8 wheels. BTW, equ's gf also votes for hydra (so that's two votes ).
