Moda definately. The Borbets look like rims that Sears & Pep Boys sell.

Default just called Eddy@Tirerack, and HE says that Borbets aren't soft like everyone says

but that they're the same as any other 18" rim.

He's had 3 sets of Borbets in the past, and never had problems with them....

Default go figure. Anyway... I still like the style of the Moda's..

the way the spokes come all the way out to the edge of the rim will make the rim look larger.

Just my opinion... bot those Borbet's look like they belong on a 1997 all black Chevy Impala SS.
