Need your vote for rims?

First of all I don't like the flashyness of rims I have a very bent right wheel and figured I would try aftermarket after 3 years. The two below are what I came up with as I don't like all the chrome rims. Let me know what you guys think!!! I honestly like the Helo but it looks kinda too flashy to me? I need some help. Aaron

Helo 835 17x9 Moto Metal 951 17x9

I bet the wheel pictured is a larger size, probably 20". I think the 17" will be a little less flashy, like you are looking for. A friend of mine has the same wheels as mine but his are 17" and mine are 20" and I think they have a totally different look. You should try to see them in person.

Both of those wheels have the wrong backspacing with only 4.5". According to 4wheelparts website the Helo's are 17x8 not 17x9 so you'll likely have less fitment issues with them. Plus they're different. So the Helo's are my choice.

not really liking any of them imho. i think its because the design they used mixing the black and chrome on the inside of the wheel. i think the best looking rims are either solid black, or solid black spokes/chrome dish
