Help me choose

[JohnMS3]

So i'm looking at a three sets of rims that I'm planning on getting for my black MS3. I'm currently selling what I have now but if I cant sell them, they will go on my wife's car. Planning on runnning 235/40 or even 245/40 if i can make them fit. I know that fender rolling is a must but I prefer the set that requires the least amount of fender work to make them fit. Help me choose and please give me your opinions.

TR Motorsports MT1
18x8.5 +48 18.5lbs
299.00 each


Pros
-Made by Enkei through MAT process.
-I love the 10-spoke design possibly the best looking one compared to the other three
Cons
-It's light but it's the heaviest at 18.5 lbs
-Expensive
TRMotorsport MT1 Matte Grey

Kosei K1 TS
18x8 +40 17.2lbs
closeout at 180.00 each


Pros
-I really like how it looks
-Very light
-Least expensive
Cons
-I've heard that Kosei's are soft expalining how they can achieve lightweight wheels that are cast
-Dual valve stems look stupid.
Kosei K1 TS Silver Painted

Axis Circuit
18x8.5 +45 16lbs
299.00 each


Pros
-this is not a Gram Light 57F knock-off. Axis had Rays Engineering manufacture this rim for them since Axis dont have any lightweight wheels on their own. Has Rays Engineering stamp on the rim but Axis put their sticker on.
-Forged and is very light.
Cons
-I dont like the weight reduction holes.
-Expensive but its the cheapest forged rims I can find.

the 10 spokes FTW

[JohnMS3]

Those are actually my first pick. Funds are a little bit short though. If i'm able to sell my RS-M's, i'll get those right away.

[madvillain]

go with the TR's without a doubt.

maybe after some rims you should get some "wheels"

If the axis wheels are really forged, those would be your best bet. Reducing your unsprung weight is a nice performance increase. There is not many forged wheels for $1200, most are at least $1800!
