Enkei Rims! Decision?

Alright so I've been doing some extensive research for new rims for this summer. I've narrowed it down to 2 rim from Enkei.

I have an 2005 Honda Civic coupe (black). What do you think will look better on my car?! I want to get the black painted rims.

Enkei FLC-01



or

Enkei FD-05

I kinda like the first wheels better but I friggin hate multi bolt patterns like that. I don't really care for either rim but when you boil it down, it's a style thing so really my opinion just like everyone else's isn't what matters, what makes you happy is what you need. Otherwise you'll end up buy a new set of rims all the time just to get what everyone else thinks is cool. That's why I like classic styled rims, some things remain cool for ever, timeless, some are cool now, then suck and then get cool again but you know it won't last, like the 80's.

^He's right. The only thing that really matters is what you want.

I often purposely go "against the grain" on many things, just to be different. lol

Just give it some thought and choose the rims you like the most.

Thanks for your input guys! The reason I made this thread was because I can't decide between the 2. I like them both! lmao. Maybe I should get a pair of each; then have one pair in the rear and one in the front. What do you guys think?! lol

It seems majority is picking the first one. Anyone else have thoughts?! BUMP!

go one style on the left and the other on the right then! Or jsut get one extra rim and make that a baller spare, I used to have rota slips in flat black, then folded on on a rock and kept 1 to go as a spare for the bronze ones I repalced the black ones with.

@ smokeybanana, non-taken. I more into these kind of wheels rather than the classics

It seems a lot of people are favouring the Enkei FLC-01 wheels! Gonna order one or the other this weekend, still pondering lol BUMP!

Solved my own question. Diamond Racing Wheels! I knew I had seen those before. Usually with shitty stretched rubber on a VW. Looks even better with proper rubber.
