Hey Sandman,

personally ill go for the Holotype-R, seen them and think there awsome, was originally going to get them to my astina hardtop, but decided to go 18'' cause they make them in 17'' and not bigger

So option 2 for me !!!!

Do you mind me asking how much are they giving you a price for the rims (Holotype-R) ?

A friend has the Holotypes on her Pulsar, and i wasn't a fan.

I'd say the Lite-7 in the Frosted Magnesium/Frosted Aluminium

I've seen wheels very similar to type two, may have been the same wheels (if I go to the post office later I'll check), on a BJ astina (Ti-Grey) and it looks nice, suits the car real well.

option 1 is about 1250 and option 2 is about 1350.

i like holotype cos i think they would look good on a dark car, but i like the lightning cos they look really good (but im just not sure theyd look so good on my car). Im still undecided though

i saw the lightenings up against my astina today, they were tryin to convince me to get them........ i just wasnt really into it, looks great in the picture advertised but against the car i kinda cringed. but perhaps like you said about the colour of the car... ours is champayne/silver. well go and have them put them up against ur car and see for yourself :)

y not the envy MK2 or Lite-7 they look better.. but if u really really have to go between those 2 then get the lightning.

Wow, personally $1350 for the holotyre-R are abit to much for me, cause you can probably get better for less or same price:

take a look here :

Plus i think they deliver for an extra $100 by memory, most of the wheels are $1200 and under, so you'll end up paying $1300 and that includes delivery, just a thought.

Yeah i wouldnt trust tempe tyres if they had my car plus they talk through their a**, but there wheels are okay deals thats on a budget, theres a couple of people on ebay sells great wheels, that where i brought my 17'' momo extreme look alike wheel and they were very hard to get in 114.3x5 pattern.

1350 is the cheapest price for the holotypes cos other places said 1500 and 1800.
