i'm not a big fan of the thruxtons only because i don't like how far the spoke bends back into the wheel (it's really exxaggerated looking). the Drift R is a nice wheel but the spoke itself is a little busy with the groove in it and stuff, i kinda like the simple spoke on the fahren.

IMO,the Privat doesnt fit as well as the MSR
18X8 with a 42 offset will fit better than a 18X8.5 with a 40 offset
The Fahren has the phony bolts on the wheels too..The wheel will be harder to clean and judging from this pic the MSR 044 looks badass...
I dont wanna cut my inner or outter wells and some guys are getting some rubbing depending on the tires they run on a 18X8.5 with that offset..
Check the pic bro
MSR 044 on a Torrid Red GTO,same color as my car and I'll have them on it by weeks end...
I cant wait,GET THE MSR's and run 245/40/18's all the way around...

I've seen that pic, the car looks badass! however, the fahren is 18x8 not 18x8.5 and also, yes the rivets will be harder to clean, but for some reason, i really LIKE that look.
plus, the MSRs are damn tough to find supposedly.

Opps your right I was going to get the Fahrens,My bad 18X8 is also the Fahrens.
I seel both Privat and Msr and u can find them if u know where to look
Privat told me a while for the Fahrens but if u go to www.aewheel.com and call them they will tell u where to get the MSR's...Last time I checked there was 12 sets nationwide in Silver...

Either wheel should look good... I'd say 18" front and 19" rear if you can, or just 18's all the way around if you dont want the bigger wheel in the rear look. (which I happen to like and wish I did myself)
