Help me choose my rims

what i currently have:

Konig Hotswaps



option 1. (if they are available in 4x100, if they are all universal drilled like in the pic, im not getting them)

Kyowa Racing KR210



option 2.

Liquid Metal Static's, i like them, i just sorta like the skinnier spokes, and the inner lip on these is more on the big side for my tastes, but not too bad



and option 3.

Sportmax Style 925. I doubt ill get these, just threw them in becuase they are the style im looking at. i heard sportmax arent too good (dont know about the other 2 brands i posted either)







basically im looking for a 5 spoke rim similar to these, flik Bullets, etc...NO outer lip. and only 4 lug holes drilled, not universal. all gloss black from the factory would be best, but if not, i will get them powdercoated. not looking to spend more than about 150 per rim also. my Konigs were 170 each shipped, i think they are great quality, just too hard to keep clean with all the grooves and rivets, etc.. and i dont really like the plastic spokes held on with 1 bolt + double sided tape......i think it was a marketing thing, they arent the best designed wheels for daily driving lol

I'm with you on the extra "universal" holes. What size wheel are you wanting?

i think these are nice too, but they have a little bit of an outer lip, i like the static's, the spokes angle out just the right amount and have a nice look to them from an angle view IMO
