Opinion on Rims

Ok guys. I need your opinions on rims. I will be buying a set within a month or two but it's a toss up between 4 rims:

ICW Megastar:


Dip D65:


Sacchi S-25:


or

Motegi DPK


The size I will buy will be 18 inch. I want the black rims with the chrome/polished/machined/silver lip to match my carbon fiber hood.

ICW stands for "It Comes Warped!" I hear their rims suck. Motegi has got my vote.

LOL!!! Damn....those were my first choice too . I just finished reading the thread about buying cheap rims and if they are dangerous. I like the motegis but not that much, but I do know they make good rims.

dont go with a painted rim with chrome lip, looks too much like rice. I hate it when people put rims like that on american cars.

Well I don't like all black and plus there aren't many options for our cars to begin with. I like the HRE's 247 I belive? (the ones that look like the 272 concept rims) but I just don't have that money.

These are the rims that if I had the money for I would get custom made:






They are just too damn expensive. I heard $1,600 per wheel.

Are these rims all for show or are they lightweight? do you know the weights on any of them?

The rims are all around the stock 18 inch weight which is 24 lbs. I think one is like 24.5 lbs but I forgot which. As long as I don't go too much over the weight i'll be happy.
