While I prefer OEM rims on Zeds these do look good :thumbsup:

Being so open they will however make you brakes look tiny and really crap (rust and dust calipers, rotors, etc.) so you may need to consider extra work/upgrade on them.

those would be easy to clean... But as above as they are so open will make the brakes look a little weedy.

Personally i prefer the multispoke look... And hide the brakes better... But are a pain to clean.

I like them, and has been said very easy to clean.
I have 5 spokes and only downside is that you can see all the weights, but I can live with that.

Not really a fan of those.

The quality isn't up to much and I doubt that diamond cut finish will last more than a few months.

Not really a fan of anything that isn't OEM or that look like they're trying hard to change the look......

Thanks everyone for given me your opinions. It's really helping me in seeing which wheels suit the car.plz continue to do so. Next I'll be picking your brains for Which size 18" or 19". Tyre sizes ect ect. The more i look at them the more i agree with you mister T. And thanks Dav. That post was very helpful :thumbsup:

If you go OEM then MV2s in high gloss silver would suit to perfection against the blue paint :thumbsup:
