57Transcend vs. Avid AV27

[n2da2nd]

Alright folks, I'm at the point that I need to step up my wheels game for my car. Looking at those 2 mentioned above. I'm aware of the price for both. Priority colors are gunmetal and bronze. Would love to see your setup/recommendation/feedback/concerns/etc. I also attached a pic of my car so if y'all are good with PS, please hook me up on the editing skill. Thank you in advance!

You might also want to consider the Flow One F3. I just got a set and they look great, available in both bronze and gunmeta, and a bit lighter than the AV-27s. I'll post pics after I install them this weekend.

Looking forward to that

Here they are! They look amazing in the sun. If you take another pic with brighter lighting and no depth-of-field effect, I can take a shot at photoshopping the other wheels on your car.

What front lip do you have on your hatchback. I like it.

I highly recommend Avid. I have AV20's on my Si and god they are so gorgeous and they don't cost as much.

can say my avid 06's are ok. seem to be a first rate rim, what ever that is.

The 57transcend is a brand name wheel. the avid is a cheap cast replica.
I think that says enough in itself.

Have you had Avid's in the past? Have had mine on the car since I got it and they are not bent or anything.. 15k miles on them, nowhere as cheap as you portrait them

They're cheap cast wheels. All it takes is one pothole a little too hard for it to be damaged. At the end of the day its a chinese cast aluminum wheel and does not compare in quality to a forged japanese wheel.

Thanks for all the feedback folks. I have decided to go with Enkei instead due to a great deal. Here is the RS05RR 18x9 +35 offset.
@Civicsi19 front lip is Ikon motosport v3 from eBay. I wrapped it in cf.

Beautiful. Also an excellent forged wheel!

Any possibility of a picture, with more of a side view?
I have a Modern Steel Metallic Si ... and I'm trying to nail down if I want silver or some version of grey wheels.

May i ask what carbon fiber wrap is that? Looks almost like the real thing.

Check out my IG Civic Social Club for more pics and vids. I highly recommend gunmetal color over silver. I also have my wheels powder coated with a light layer of metallic flakes. The factory finish wasn't up to my expectation lol

My buddy sells them. Let me ask him to get you a quote, maybe.
