Which of these wheels do you like?

[bomber-stud]

First post in this forum... not sure where it's based. But I'm in Canada and looking for some "quality" wheels but within my budget. Want to know your opinions... Cheers!

I have a 2010 mazda 3 sedan in gunmetal blue.

Konig Feathers in black (very light weight)

Konig Foil in silver (very light weight)

Enkei EKM3 in gunmetal

Enkei EDR9 black

I'm typically a fan of black wheels, but with your color car I'm not sure. I might like the silver better...maybe get someone who knows how to use photoshop to help you out.

typically it's up to personal preference. Pick which you like best and forget those who don't share the same preference. I've gotten some hate about my black rims. I have also gotten quite a few complements as well as complimenting looks on the road. They either like the car or the girlfriend. Possibly both?

I do with...Konig Foil in silver (very light weight). Also what is your idea of very light weight? Those konigs are 18.2lbs in 17x7

is the website wrong?
They say 16.8lbs... http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?wheelbrand=Konig&wheelmodel=Feather+-+Black

I say "light weight" because every other wheel I have looked at in the under $200 price range is around 20-22lbs

I'm not sure what I want for sure... but I figure there are 2 reasons to get rid of my bad steels for the summer. 1. for looks; 2. to 'increase' the driving feel/performance.

If you don't think a difference of 4lbs/wheel is a noticeable change though, I'm all ears!

now those are light weight.. personally I have no experiance with light weight wheels just know the ones I looked at (foils) arnt considered light weight to most on this forum.

I also dont think that small amount of weight will make much of a difference but some on here beg to differ.

Enkei EKM3 in gunmetal

this one, but definitely not in black:

another advantage to going with this design is that it'll allow you to run 17's on your 3 without making them look too small.

thanks for the suggestions everyone!
I'll have to give it some thought... but quickly. The snow is melting and I'm getting eager.....(gah)

Funny that most of you suggest not black, lol, personally, I wasn't so sure about silver...but the more I think about, probably not a bad choice. Thoughts on the gunmetal look?

I have the EKM3 in Charcoal on my Titanium Gray hatch. I didn't go with silver because it was just too light and I didn't want high contrast. My windows came tinted to who knows what percentage (look like factory tint and with another tint over that), and I wanted the car to look almost stock, but just a tad "sinister"..... For me it's perfect.

Gunmetal 100%....if you like the wheels and can't get the the exact color no worries get them powder coated--$150-$200 and is far better the any paint
