07 Silver LS sedan...16" Konig Monsoon or 17" O.Z. Superleggera

I have the chance to get either a set of 16's with 3 good tires for $220 or a set of 17's with 2 good tires for $200.

The 16" wheels are Konig Monsoon and the 17" are O.Z. Superleggera.

What do you think would look better on an 07 LS sedan? Ultra Silver.

Here's a reference picture for both:





Both have some curb rash and what not...the Konig's aren't too bad looking and I'd probably leave them for now, but the O.Z.'s are not in as good of shape (nothing major, just need to be refinished). The person finished one wheel and will include the paint, sand paper, etc that he used on the first one. I'd probably go have them powder coated though in a different color.

So, which would look better?

Here's a picture of my car...not the best, but a nice quick shot shortly after it was lowered last summer...

The OZ wheels are a steal at $200 for the set. They were probably more than $200 EACH new!

I wouldn't buy silver wheels for a silver car. Black wheels on silver is the only way to go IMO.

OZ > Konig
17"s > 16"s

I think we have a clear winner.

For sure. For that price, I would get a couple rattle cans and paint the OZ's black.

Fast and Bumpin....I appreciate all the info. I absolutely know my car is 4 lug....reference pictures...just to show what wheels I'm talking about. I also stated that whichever wheel I get would probably wind up being powder coated. I'm looking towards a gunmetal color or possibly black.

I had a feeling I should have just known O.Z. would be the answer.

Thanks again everyone.
