Enkei Raijin or Apex EC7 or VMR V718

Looking for the best 1M style concave rims for my 135...
Any of the rims on the title line fit the bill the best or are there others to consider as well??
Looking for strength, durability, lightness and OEM quality finish.
Once I narrow it down then comes size/offset choices next...

Thanks in advance folks

I myself am wanting to get the v718s, unfortunately Kevin from VMR says there's no ETA on them coming back in stock

No specific ETAs quite yet for the V718 in 18" sizing. V710s are coming in pretty soon though!

The Enkei Raijin is a great looking wheel but I don't think it's as concave as what you're looking for.

V718s utilize and eight split spoke design, whereas the V710 is a seven split spoke design. They are very similar wheels though. Most people that like one, like the other as well.

My vote is the Apex as they are lighter than the VMRs.
