Talking Which rims should I get?

Hey guys, I ordered 18" ADR Cyphers off Ebay last month...there was a mixup with the shipping...So I ended up not getting the wheels. I am currently awaiting a refund from them. Anyway, I am looking at getting another set of rims, and I'm leaning towards the same rims that Stefwilli has, which are the Racing Hart C2's, which looks like this:



I am also very interested in the M7000's:



and finally the M5's:



The wheels are gonna cost me roughly 1000...Plus another 270 or so for shipping to Guam.
Let me know what you guys think about the rims.

IMO the C2s look REALY nice on the ES, the classy spoke design adds just the right amount of sportiness!

Go for the C2's man

what D said. go with the C2's. I always consider which one will be the easiest to clean.

Yea, I dig the C5's too but TMEngineering does not carry them either.

Anyway, I found some Tenzo Apex5's for $675shipped which is about half the price of the C2's. What do you think of these wheels?

And you already know how the C5 and C2 look. Man, too many choices... But the C4 is calling me right now.

Yeah unless your gonna buy 2 SETS of wheels then that would be kinda lame!! Go C2 or CR and THATS the bottom line!

Yea, I saw a car in Super Street magazine with two sets of wheels... Like if you roll by in one direction and then the other.. ppl will be like wtf!?!? different car?

I will have to sleep on this to make a decision. Or maybe I will need a week or two... the ebay seller still hasn't refunded my money.
