and that's all I'm giving you. I want this to be based purely on looks. Which do you like and why?

Rfp1
There's nothing they don't look good on.
Top, looks less busy
I also know they are fairly light weight.
That said, Ive held off from getting a set on my MR2 because Im not a huge fan of them. But I do not care for the bottom set of wheels at all.
I vote for the bottom one, with no other context. Of course, the car matters. I never really liked the RPF in silver. I think of an RPF as a functional choice, since they're pretty light. It does look better in other colorways, IMHO.
Ok. And now I'll reveal the car. Nc Miata. Weight is within fractions. 17x8. Autocross.
Top ones are prettier design. Colour is up to you, but I prefer grey. Not black.
Most of my wheel choices are based on two questions:
Is it easy to clean?
Is it not gold?
I'm going with the top one.
Depends on the car.
You cant just pick a wheel without knowing the car it goes to.
Loads of NCs on RPF1s. They're not my favorite wheel for the platform looks-wise - but out of those two, it's the winner.
Top looks good on anything. Bottom is subjective
stock wheels, then painted rose gold. I like gold/bronze/brown wheels. I hate chrome. I am leaning away from the rpf simply because everyone has them. The other problem I now see with the rpf is the Center caps are extra ($35 each!). They also cost more than the Hypergrams. And the RPFs require special lug nuts for the nc
And to clarify and qualify....
"gross gold"
The good kinda gold wheels:
RPF1s.

This being a 5x4.5 bolt pattern, that is a possibility that is far more interesting than RPF1.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
Interesting is a word to use, yes.
Given that gold mesh wheels weren't an option...
RPF1 is the obvious choice.
Silver ones get my vote.
I'm a big fan of RPF1s. When I was looking at a NC those were on my list. The Konigs came up too and were a little cheaper. Somewhere on the webs is a red NC2 with gold/bronze konigs and it might have convinced me.
in other words, you can't go wrong. I'm cheap so I would buy the cheaper ones.
edit: this one. Hot. Dog.
I prefer the RPF1s, especially on an NC. Koenig makes some nice wheels but those are very much not my favorite. They are not parallel-spoke but they are not un-parallel enough to look intentional. The spokes just seem to be haphazardly spaced around the rim.
I like bronze wheels but don't like gold. And I'm with you I hate chrome and even hyper silver.
Top wheel in the bronze color. If that's not an option, then the bottom wheel. I hate cleaning silver wheels.

Ok that's pretty convincing. Anymore shots of that car?
alas... those only come 17x7.5 and way wrong on the offset. Not meant to be.
NC3 on RPF1 17x9...
