I like the F10's. I would say 18's though if you got them. Shocks are too common on eclipses. Get something to stand out.

The f10's are cool. They look like the porsche phone dial wheels.

are you serious, the shocks are played out like a bitch but there is no excuse for buying those focals. unless youre slicing cheese or cigars with the wheel

I will agree with mike and cyan.

Oh yeah I kind of thinking asking people for their opinion on wheels is dumb. I know I do it too, but if you like a wheel than buy it!

Of those two: shock shock shock shock. Anywheel you get will either be played out or ugly in a yr. (except the few timeless classics) so go with what you like.

I have the shocking shocks....and i agree with Stan, every wheel will end up being played out in a years time. Once you put a wheel on your car you'll see another one on the way home! Since i dont really have the money to ge a new set I am going to have my 18" shocking shocks painted black or a darker grey, keep the polished lip should look nice.

Those are the only 2 you would consider? Have you seriously looked at rims? There are quite a few available that would look nice on our cars, and MANY people put the same rims as replacements on our cars... mainly the cheaper rims.

Have you ever looked at Arelli rims? They hold the 2 favorites of mine, and what I am going to replace my wheels with.

Check out http://www.arelli.com

And look at the Tempyst (under Three-Piece) and the Assassyn (under One-Piece...

They look a lot better in real pictures than they do on the web. You can't even see the chrome finish of the Tempyst online.

I've only seen the Assassyn's on ONE car EVER and have never seen the Tempyst.
