Alright everyone. Here's the deal. I am looking to get some new rims for my car but am stuck between two different sets. I need some help to decide, so want to see what everyone here thinks and figure might be a bit fun. Here are the two rims I am thinking of getting.

I will be getting them in 15" and keeping the original tires on my versa now.

I prefer an odd number of spokes so they don't look so symmetrical.
yeah I'm odd too :tisk: :biggrin: haha
Also like a smokey rim to go with your black car
Lookin good!

thanks for your opinions. I like the borbets because they look sorta close to the oem cube rims i wanted. and the borbet symbol sorta looks like a nissan symbol. lol

but like the voxx cause it gives the versa a meaner look in my opinion.

going tomorrow to order my rims and still stuck between the two. got time for more opinions though.

Congrats!
I think the Borbet looks a little too mainstream, and with a 15 in rim, Borbet spokes will appear kinda stubby.
Voxx lookin good, can't wait!

well was disappointed today. got a call from discount tire saying my wheels were in. went down to get them put on when we found out they were wrong color even though they said black on the box. bronze is not black. so now they are getting another set ordered and gonna try to expedite the shipping. hopefully will get them soon

Don't like the 90s Subaru look? :lolling:
Sorry 'bout the mess-up.
When bookcloseouts sent wrong TopGear book [twice], they said just keep 'em for free.
No such deal on the rims eh? :chuckle:
