i used to love RL7's, still do,but only in 18's otherwise in my opinion they look shite now.
but then the 18" mo's look better than the 17's and the new ones look even better than the old
but rest assured i will always have gold wheels

Rl7's I like the Mo's only in the 18" though as you can't get the 6 spokes in any other size unless thats changed now?

New MO's look kind of like a 6 spoke RL7 with more curve in the spokes.

Either way it's a wheels so long as its strong and has lots of brake clearance who cares!!
