I've admired the appearance of the Revolution RSX 7 x 17 that were part of the group buy and only seen them up close on a black car--really looked good to me.
I had a chance to compare the 2 Liters with the revolutions . Would like to get other opinions before proceeding. I'll be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Attached image(s) |

You are soliciting opinions??
The Revolutions look nice! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Really nice!! The bigger meats will trash your very nice paint (kicking up rocks) though. The Fuchs would look better if they were fully polished or original in appearance. In a perfect situation you'd have both (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) |

To me they both look great but I like less weighted stuff and performance parts. The wider tires look great and probably grip tighter with smaller sidewalls.

How much do the revs cost?
