Help me choose my rims
Have a few ive been looking at. Let me know what you all think will look the best. Im pretty sure they will all fit, but not positive, so that might help rule some out if some wont fit...

Also, does the 225 mean they are the lower profile tire or just the more narrow of the bunch..

Well if you had choose between those 3, I'd say go with the Sporza. 225 means the width is 225mm wide. If the aspect ratio is the same 225/35 vs. 245/35, then YES, the 225 tire will be shorter than the 245.
Sidewall height = width x aspect ratio.
225 x .35 = 78.75mm sidewall height
245 x .35 = 85.75mm sidewall height

If I had to choose, I'd get the Sporza d5 since I like 5 Spoke wheels. Not feeling that design much though

Not a big fan of any of them but I would go with the Sporza. BTW- Lexani is the wheel brand, they don't make tires.
Edit: I guess Lexani does make tires. I wonder if they are as heavy as their wheels? Lol...jk!
