Hi - bit of a dilemma for me

In search for wheels - cant seem to decide on what to get
I know for sure i want to rock 17x8 or 17x9
and with 4x114.3 stud its not that easy

There are Rays 3 piece and Works vsmx im looking atm - both are in my budget - and I'm trying to figure out what's the difference between the two and which ones to go for


The decision

vsmx- $800 - asking price
pros: seller has them polished
cons: no centre cap, all tyres 50% tread (potenzas)

rays- $700 - asking price
pros: comes with spacers, and centre caps, seller is a mate, he's desp to sell
cons: 2 tyres need replacing

note these are jst pics off the net
but damn they look awfully similar!!!


I'm leaning more towards the rays - because of the completeness of the trade - i.e. centrecaps, bonus spacers - can simply polish these to make em shiny :p?

look pretty similar to me, id go with the rays, sounds like a better deal, are the specs the same on both sets?

side note, does elitejdms rear wheel look out of place? almost looks crooked or back too far, maybe its just the street or photo angle idk

The lower you go, the more the rear wheels get pushed back.

Kevin(Sleeper Cell) made the thread about the custom bits to address that.

OP, go with the deal that gets you the most for the least money and lowest long term expense.

Thanks for the input. Much love. Yeah our accords do funny things to the wheel the lower we go. I may as well go for the rays. More bang for my buck. Would love to still hear more of your commentssss

Well this basically explains why my rear wheels always look like they sat more towards the rear when I lowered it. Any idea how Kevin fixed it (if he did)
