RE: wheels

[Tim Irwin <timi@Interlinq.com>]

The TireRack (www.tirerack.com) has a setup where you can view a car with
whatever wheels they carry that will fit it. Not a perfect representation,
but pretty good. The RC's are a similar design to the RX's, but are a bit
cleaner looking (smaller hub?) if that's what you're looking for. Of course
there's always the Mille Miglia Daisy's.

I know I said I wasn't buying wheels, but I'm looking...

I had thought for a long time I wanted BBS RXs.  But since I really only
want to go up to 16, I think they look kind of cluttered that size.  (If
you have pics of your GLX with 16" RXs somewhere, let me know.)  I
really like the look of the RKs, but I guess they don't fit (I can't
seem to find out why).

So looking at what is available in 16":

ATP Spa:	Never heard of them.  The wheel looks good straight
		on, but at an angle I don't like the way it bends in.

Borbet Type S:	Better than the ATPs, similar effect.

BBS RX:		I've always liked the look of this wheel, but I thinkk
		I've mostly seen in in larger sizes.  I definetly don't
		want a wheel that looks too cluttered, so I'm unsure
		about it in 16".

Any thoughts?
