Stuck between two types...

--- UPDATED BELOW - POST #25 ---




Alright I was really set on black spoked wheels with a chrome lip before but after having a lot of time to think about it I'm really not sure. I think the black with chrome lip is really over-played now. Everyone has it... so I think I've narrowed it between these two (and I think I'm more interested in the second ones now; they seem pretty unique):



OR



Pictures of my car are in my garage if you need to see it... I will be getting 18"s; I know that for sure.

Lets hear it guys... What do you think?

I just thought about something else: GMPP Performance exhaust or rims next... I don't even know.

true i do think alot of ppl have black wheels with a chrome lip, but if they look good on ur car y not get them. on ur blue car car i think black or silver wheels look sweet, even bronze or gold colored look good. it just depends on what color theme ur gonna go with on ur car.

As far as color themes go...I was planning on the laser blue, chrome/silver, black look. The chrome/silver is only going to be a subtle accent for the most part though. So far I have a chrome billet grill and my headlights are painted black (plan on getting black projectors). I'm also going to lightly tint my tail lights/sidemarkers. I'll also be getting a dark tint.

So I think the first ones would be good, but the second ones have black everywhere except the outside of the spokes and the lip. Man, I don't know which to pick.

Which one would get more looks?

Even though everyone has them, I still love the love of it...so that's why I'm stuck.

Hmm... still not too sure but I once again had my opinion reinforced by my friends on the silver ones. Like I said before, I see the black way too much and I really like the idea of having something else to make shiny, and then I still have the inside of the wheel that is black so it'll still run with my other black "accents." So right now I'd have to say black is at 35% and the silvers are at 65% in my head...and of course that's what matters so I gotta about a month to think about it and I'm watching around town for any good deals so I don't have to order online. So I gotta wait a few paychecks and that gives me time to think about it. I would still appreciate other opinions though, so keep 'em coming guys! Thanks a lot.

nevermind the black with polished lip being overplayed...even though I have that style too...lol. How about the fake Rivets on a wheel?

Personally would never get a rim with fake rivets, but I'd say the first ones if I were choosing between the 2.

I'm pretty sure about the silver ones now... about 80% sure.

hmm... I just found these same wheels on a TC, only difference is that the ones I want are black on the inside.

Another pic...does anybody think they could photoshop this for me? I have it but I'm just learning the tricks of it, so I doubt I could make it realistic... not sure if this is a good side view, but: http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?i...5220088um4.jpg

Thanks in advance to the volunteer...+rep will be given, too!

Alright, well I met the guy in town and I put a $100 deposit down to get these:



I wasn't sure at first, but viewing them in person did the trick. They looked sick sitting next to my car. He only wants $650 for the wheels and tires together. The tires are Nankang 215/35/18. What do you guys think?
