MazdaSpeed or Arospeed???

[Phoenix5]

Which rims do you guys think I should get??

Arospeed RS-GT(in Hyperblack) or the Mazdaspeed Racing Harts(in Gun Metal)????

RS-GT

 

[redwagon02]

Arospeeds for their weight compared to the 22/23 lb. RH's

 

[redwagon02]

but the RH's look nicer in gunmetal IMHO.

(omg)Oh s***! I didn't know the Racing Harts weight that much.Anyways, I want more opinions.

I thought the MSP RH only weight that much with the tire. I remember hearing on here somewhere they only weight about 17 lbs, which isn't that heavy. Plus they are ULTRA RARE. You won't see any other types of cars with the MSP wheels. The only people outside of MSP owners who have them are those on this board. I bet there's more people on this board (much less your city) with AeroSpeed wheels than MSP wheels (excluding MSp drivers of course).

I'd go with the MSP for their exclusivity and they look great on a P5.

My "limited edition" MP3 wheels weighed 22/23 lbs. apiece w/o tires. I believe the MSP wheels are in the same weight range as the MP3 wheels.

I always have to wonder when someone asks for an opinion in a public forum who they are trying to impress - do what YOU like, not what a ton of other people tell you they like. As for the weight difference, IMO unless you're on the track and looking to shave 1/10th off, the difference in a few pounds per wheel won't be noticable - leaving your gas tank at half full instead of completely full will likely have more impact. (And before anyone goes flaming about sprung and unsprung weight I know the difference. I'm saying for a few pounds it doesn't matter.)

 

[redwagon02]

it matters

if you get the rs-gt's, you're car will look like redwagon02 sans the roof rack...............get the msp rh's

 

[JOS3]

btw, who cares how much they weigh. are you planning on making it a drag car. if not, why bother looking at the weight(unless they weigh 40 lbs each)

The only way I'd go with the AeroSpeed ones is if you can squeeze in some 19s. I think RyanJayG has these in 18s on his MP3 (gunmetal with polished lip) and they look really good. But if you're going with 17s get the RHs off someone on the board. You'll save a lot of money and have wheels you don't see anywhere else.
