In one corner we have the Borbet Type TD. Its an incredible deal at the Tire Rack for only $169 for an 18X8. It's light..only 21.5 lbs and it has a deep polished lip. But it looks more Euro than it is "Tuner". I've seen it on their virtual car utility and I still can't decide.

Then in the other corner we have the HP Lightning wheel. Also 21.5 lbs..but only comes in 18X7. Mesh design, polished lip...and only $215.00. I think I'm leaning more towards this one at the moment. Need alittle help!!!

The first link is coming up as an error on tirerack so I have no imput there, but the price is great. The lightnings are very nice and are a good price for the look I think. They look like some of the higher priced Blitz type rims. A little skinny but you could still put 225's on them I believe.

Yeah they can handle 225s. I was thinking about putting Kumho's on them and the total price would come out to about $1400 even. Not too shabby. I just wish I could see a picture of them on someone's car.

Those Borbet Type TDs look nice. They look good in the tirerack.com graphic.

They're both cool. The TDs would look really bad powdercoated white.
