A mate of mine had speedie wheels, issue with supply, think quality was ok. The Envy's look better from pic in my opinion.

Graphite for sure. Envy's look to thin/weak. Graphite's look tough.

I like that rim. I am looking for my blueprint blue BA GT. I have no decals on this machine so it looks sporty with out stipes and its more stylish I think, but I need a set of rims to set it of. They don't look too bad

First wheels, envy, i've seen the others in person and they look average. Those other wheels posted look too much like a holden wheel, newish clubby or r8 or somthing, not a fan.

They look better in person too.

I haven't had anybody tell me they don't like them on my car after they've seen it in person. Hell, even my grandfather said he liked them :P
