both are american racing 15x8's. i want to stay with 15's b/c i want to keep my 31's on rather than going to a bigger rim and different tires. Both are polished and the have the same specs and similar prices. tell me what you think:

Hopster

Torq Thrust

If your going with the off-road look which I suspect you are with 31's, I say go with the Hopster.
 






Torq thrust are for muscle cars and street trucks. Go with the first.

well, not really an off-road look. i like the look of kinda-street wheels with bigger tires. my truck is kinda sporty looking minus the bling-bling rims. i don't like bling-bling rims or anything thats pimp looking :D i just want something better looking than the stock wheels and looks clean and sharp, not over the top. i like both rims.
 






actually i think i am leaning towards the first ones(hopsters), i just thought the thrusts kinda looked like a smaller version of the bullit rims, which look very nice on X's.
 






i like both, but i'd go with the hopster on an ex.
 






Hopster, because it will look better with bigger tires, and that Torque Thrusts are kinda common.
 






i liek the torq thrusts... but those are way too much chrome... both are too much chrome for my tastes... however the hopster would look less run of the mill....
 






Hopster for the same reasons as mentioned above.^^
 












The Torqs are on all Boyd Conningtons Hot Rods. Why put these on a offroad vehicle? But I guess the first ones.

geez i picked them b/c i thought they were kinda low key and not too loud or bling-bling, there are some real pimp ones out there that i am trying to stay away from.

as i said above, they kinda look like bullits, which do look good on X's, thats kinda why i chose them.

In a 15" size with 31's, I think you will be fine. They don't look that bling, especially compared to the outrageous ones.
