You'll love the Eagle F1's bro. I have them on my car and they are phenominal. Great all-around tire. I would buy them again in a heartbeat. Plus, ANYTHING beats stock tires. :7d3bf976:

Three more weeks!

Ok so now I'm in a dilemma.....help me pick.

Same wheels, ASA AR1s....

Silver:

or Machined, with Anthracite accent:

Waiting until September.

Second one for sure, IMO.

+1 on #2

I'd say number two as well...BUT, as it's machined and contrasting colors, you want to make sure the rim doesn't look A.) disconnected from the flow of the car, and B.) the machining takes away from the bulk of the "spokes", making it look similar to bike wheel spokes. If that makes any sense.... just what I'd look at if it were me. With that being said, I do like the second ones.

Have you photoshopped them?

Rich · Postby **Rich** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 9:14

Well, I haven't photochopped either of them. I have some good pics in my Garage if someone would like to do it.

What I like about #1:
retains the silver on gray look of stock wheels
spokes are more rounded
center hub

What I like about #2:
anthracite accent makes a two-tone look
machined surface has no paint to scratch
fake rivets aren't as apparent

And yes, it does appear the machining takes away some of the "meat" of the spokes...makes them flat. Not sure if I like that.

Thanks all for the responses so far.

Right on, I totally agree with your comments....I guess that's what I was trying to say, just didn't do a very good job saying it!

I'd be interested to see how those bad boys look if photoshopped. There's a separate topic for photoshop at the bottom...that's one heck of a resource for shoppin'. I still look back and drool over the photoshop job on my car (thanks to Greek8 that is).

I agree with everything you pionted out about both of them. Makes it difficult to choose. #1 looks better cause of the roundness of the spokes but I love the color of the anthrecite.

^ plus one

Rich · Postby **Rich** » Wed Aug 06, 2008 9:14

I think I'm gonna stick with #1. Thanks all
