I'm trying to decide on which wheel design I should go with. I'm thinking about finally getting some new rims and tires. I really like the EV-Rs that Triton has, but that cost quite a bit compared to these. Two designs I'm looking at on Tirerack.com are: I like the deeper dish rim on the first, but then I like on the second how it has those indentations and more design to it. I think they both look good. When I see the Mille Miglia Evos and EV-R on a Vibe, I think they look so awesome. I haven't seen these on one, I wonder if they'll still really stand out and look great. The tire I'm thinking about is the Kumho Ecsta ASX, an all-season high performance tire. Anyone heard about them? Tirerack's surveys and reviews are pretty good on them.

Personally, I like the first one. Always have been a fan of split-spoke rims though.As for tires, I've heard good things about Kumho. I went with Sumitomo HTR+ to replace the Dunlop 9000's that came on my car, and I've been very happy with them.

I like the first one also, sorta has the same style of my own in a way. very good look on both but my vote is #1.

Number One looks sweet bro!

One thing I just remembered, is that all those indentations on the second one may be a pain to clean brake dust and dirt out of. It takes extra time just to clean those triangular indents on the stock 16s I have. The first would be easier to clean. Plus I like the polished lip. I'm trying to find some pics of Vibes with wheels similar to them. I thought I've seen some on here some where. I'm searching.

Well, I just thought about these: They are five spoked like I originally wanted. Hmmm...decisions decisions.

Simple is ALWAYS better.. Go with the first one bro. That chrome lip is the way to go..

I like 1 0r 3...3 has the best looking lip, but i like the 6 spoke design of 1 slightly better.these are ones I almost bought that a 5 spoke...they are forged and light as well http:www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncom...r=361

I like #1, but they are very similar to my design. Wrong color, though...

Go with #1. Those look better than your other two considerations. And thanks for the compliment!

LOL I am still banging my head over which ones to pick....man just go with what catches your eyes....look at me giving advice when its taking me forever to decide

Sam should just draw styles from a hat and be forced to accept what he picks lol.

Smartass lolBy this Saturday I will have picked my wheels ( I gave myself a deadline )

Go with the first or the third. I'd rather have the third one personally, but I love 5 spoke wheels. Nothing against the split spoke wheels because they also look good, but I prefer the solids! Any of them will look good on your Vibe!

Has anyone with heavier 18" wheels noticed a decrease in gas mileage or power? For example, some wheels I'm looking at are 19-20lbs and then some are around 25-26lbs. Do you think there will be a noticeable difference?Thanks,

I had the factory 17" wheels and went to Centerlines and lost 13 lbs. /wheel. Yes you can feel the differance. Weight is a bad thing !

Shibaman, how much did the stock 17s weigh? Anyone know about the 16s? Is a 25lb wheel heavy or average?Thanks,

Really? So, I should not be concerned about 25lb 18" wheels? I think I know which ones I'm going to get. Later,

I think that they were 26 or 27 lbs. The oem 16 s are around 21 lbs?

I like #3. I like a polished lip with solid 5 spokes on a Vibe. I also don't like open lug holes but I'm biased. Here's the best I could do at night without moving my cars.
