Default What rim choice?

Okay ... I put all-season radials on Cherri (Red Candy) but kept the OEM Kumho tires for decent weather. I went to Tirerack site and have 4 choices that I'm debating. What's the one that you think would be best?

1. Sport Tuning T5


2. Moda MD10


3. Elbrus I02


4. Sport Tuning T10


I plan on getting the rims and TPMS sensors shipped then get the local Goodyear shop to mount the Kumhos on these rims with sensor activation.

So ... whatcha think? And yeah, I plan on the alloy units to be Winter "beater" rims.

Default ...but every pic is a 5-bolt!

Before you decide, and definitely before you buy, ask to see photos of the 4-bolt wheels. Or at least have a salesperson confirm that each wheel still has 5-SPOKES and 4-BOLTS. I have seen wheels where the number of spokes matches the number of bolts. I wouldn't want any of those choices in a 4-spoke pattern.
Also watch the availability--one of those is not in stock. You wouldn't get them until late January.

the pic shows 5-bolt, but look at the description in lower left - bolt pattern = 4x108 which is correct. TireRack always shows 5-bolt rims ... even for 4-bolt selections.

As for availability, I'm not in any hurry. Winter finally hit with a vengeance so about 3 months is the timeframe I currently have to work with. Then again it has been known to snow a bit in June here. <shrug>

I went with the Moda MD10. Take note of the weight.
