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.

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.

I like them both! I'd switch them every month or so. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Now how about some pics of that car and it's new paint job, looks fantastic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

The Revs along with your paint make your car pop!

What color is that?

How much do the revs cost?
How would they compare to the turbo twists?
