Which rims.. quick...

Im stuck between 2 rims...
these-(Plus about these only 22.5 lbs.)
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand



and these-(Neg about these 29 lbs)
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand



Then for tires im getting these. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....nSpeedRating=V

But I really cant decide between the 2 rims, so im asking for everyones advice. Personally im leaning towards the 1st ones because they are only 22.5 lbs.

thanks,

Why isnt anything easy.... lol... thanks for ur opinions guys/girls... but i just dont know what to get.... I like them both and my first choice was the 2nd ones but the 1st ones are lighter by 6.5 lbs so thats 26 lbs total... so hard. But the 2nd ones are 18X8 while the 1st ones are only 18X7.5... so the 2nd are a bit wider... so more traction?

Another factor that I just discovered is that the 1st set of rims cost $170 to ship while the 2nd ones cost only $90 to ship.... different warehouses. Starting to really lean towards the 2nd ones, just seem like a better deal and they look better.

Those 2nd wheels look awesome. The 1st ones look too plain.

well i went back and looked. Since you don't really care about the money (since they are about the same anyways) i would change to the 2nd one. The first one as someone else said do just look too plain, the 2nd have more of a show to them. Even if they are slightly heavier

Second ones. Even though they're both pretty close, I like the black paint b/c I think it contrasts with your car rather nicely.

Lighter is always better, not to mention that I prefer black wheels with a polished lip on em, especially on a black car.
