Question Msr 045's, decisions decisions...

I think i've finally decided that i'll be going with the 18ers msr 045's.
However, i'm still debatting between the black with that super finish or hyper gray.
Theeeeerefore, opinions/comments?

I drive a red 06 ss/sc, black headlights and evo mod.

Also, any pics with any of the rims would be appreciated
Thanks!

My opinion...don't get MSRs. There's plenty of wheels available out there. At least attempt to be slightly different.

Get Gunmetal Enkei EKM3's. They look similar, but they are far better quality wise. The paint finish will last more than a year before it starts to peel, unlike the MSR's! lol

Good to know, nice inputs.
Yeah, i'm looking for affordable stuff since i'm still a student...but i'm happy to know that msr's aren't the best way to go.
Which websites do you guys visit for your wheels? assuming they have good prices and a nice selection.

^ Those are nice, though I never really liked the red trim around the rim.
Pics are all nice, though i'd like to see one in gun metal and/or with a gray trim.

I guess i'll look around those 2 websites, that'll be a good start. Thanks again!

edit: Many come from the USA...any vendors in canada so i'm not paying like 200$ on shipping?

EKM3's look better IMO. Dual bolt pattern wheels=FAIL.

Save up more and get whatever wheels you really want. Do your research. Don't rush into it. I've been through 3 sets of wheels on my car, it's expensive. And I'm saving for my next set

Agreed. Wait until your current tires are almost done and then sell your wheels and tires and get new ones. It's tough to get good money out of used tires, even when they have lots of tread left.

...Disregard this if you plan on re-using your current tires! lol

Those have been discontinued for quite some time now. But damn I wish they were still in production. So sexy.

I have been using msr 045's on a 400whp cali srt4...in Potholeville ny....and i have not had a problem with them at all.

Get what you want for the car...if all you can afford are msr045's or you just rather put money into performance and not wheels get the MSR's

QFT- MSR's have been great to me with almost half the cost and still look sick. Go Hyper gray if you do get them.
