Default 18" rims

I'm looking into a set of new 18" rims for my GS400 and I managed to narrow down my choice to two brands (1) AVS Model 7 and (2) Blitz 03.

Can somebody give me some feedback on these rims and are these rims easy to bent?

both great quality, multi-piece rims have slightly higher tendancy of getting bent...but, i believe your luck of the day plays a major role...i would probably choose the blitz

Default Clarification

gs4will - since I'm also looking at wheels, is the Blitz your choice because of that particular wheel, or because you think that Blitz is a better brand overall?

garnet,

between blitz and advan(aka yokohama), i too would have difficult time choosing btween the 2 brands. because both brands are race proven and excellent quality.

but, as far as comparing between model 7 and blitz 03s, i would take the blitz 03. dince dm alrady narrow down his choice
, i just want to help him out by picking the final choice.

personally, i like advan rims on more sportier rides like the IS(advan model 5 twin spoke). for the GS, i prefer rims with LIPS...

as i always said, so many rims....not enough cars....
