A "which wheel should I get" question

Here are the two wheels i've been thinking of buying. I can get either wheel package for $1200 thats with tires and wheels.




My picks are this

The 2nd one is doesn't seem to have much going on, it's easily forgotten.. not so with the 1st. Much better looking.

Yea the 2nd one seems kinda dull to me. Would look good rolling down the road but its plain. The 1st one I like cause it doesnt have much of the ricer wheel look (does a little but i think its not bad) and I like that style. It reminds me kinda of the Enkei Win wheel but with split sokes instead of solid. And the price is half the price cheaper.

I like them both. But if they are the same price, then I would choose the first ones.

I like both. But I would say #2 just to be different. And I like the more clean look.

They look kinda like import wheels to me... but if you had to choose, 1 looks a bit nicer

Well I disagree with most, I think the first wheels, (gunmetal paint and fake 3 piece design) look like they belong on an import. The second set has a more traditional 5 spoke design and just has a much cleaner and more muscular look to them. That is just my opinion though, get whichever one YOU think looks better.

Thanks for the replies. I really like both and its hard to choose between the two cause they both have their ups and downs. I like the clean look like someone else said. The plain 5 spoked wheels would be just sweet in 18's on my red car. Their also not chrome as I was wanting to stay away from. As for the first ones. The wheels just look badass. And I have never seen them on an Fbody before. Most of the newer wheels these days look like they belong on an import. But then again the first wheel looks like the wheels that they put on the "GT" series race cars. Like the Porsche's, Vette's, Vipers etc.

I think they both look good, so I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I think the first ones would be nice because like you said it would be something different. And the second ones would be clean, especially on a red car. So it's up to you man, your the one paying for them.
