Default Prodrive GC-07J or Rays CE28n

I cannot decide between Prodrive GC-07J or Rays CE28n.

I like Prodrive because it does not require a crazy offset or lowering to look good.

I always loved the CE28n but it does require crazy offset and some lowering to look good.

My car is a CR replica, with CR suspensions ...etc and planning to keep that look and ride height... and dont feel like to roll fenders... and the only brake upgrade I will do is the Accord calipers.

What do you guys suggest? Please suggest an offset as well...

Here are added pics borrowed from other members.... let me know if you want me to take off the pictures

Prodrives are nice but are hard to find now...as far as I know they stopped producing that wheel? You could probably save half the bill by going with the CR wheel, which could be used toward the Accord caliper upgrade.

Those pro drives haven't been made in several years. So even if you find a set, where does that leave you if you ever damage a wheel and need a replacement?

And CE28n's can be purchased in safe offsets, it just doesn't look as nice as the more agressive ones...Plus you have lot's of options as far as how aggressive/safe you want to go, plus color choices.

They stopped producing Prodrive GC-07C and replaced them with the new GC-07J

I ditched my CEs for a set of GC07Cs, and haven't looked back.

The CEs are one of my favorite wheels, but the Prodrives flow so well with the S2000. And like you said, you don't have to lower the car too much for the Prodrives to look good. I do think the C's look better than the J's, but they are still a great looking wheel.

I voted the Prodrives. I love both wheels. I've always been a huge fan of CE28 but the Prodrives in my experience are not as common as CE28 and I'm just not loving the Prodrives. I wish I had a set.

I will lower it a little eventually, but not until the CR goes out.

Ideally is that I also have a set of CR rims as well as aftermarket...

my vote is for ce28.

prodrives looks good - but only few people will know you have something special.
the rest wil think you have 500$ far east wheels.

ce28 speaks for itself and can be purchased at s2000 ofsets.
the downside is high price...
try to get s/h.
