Default Lat-G, I need some help picking wheels.

Hi,

I need some help in picking out some custom wheels for my project car. I have narrowed the options down to 2. They are as follows:



OR



I would order either one with hidden hardware option.

The Kicker...... Here's a pic of my car.



Opinions on wheel finishes would be appreciated. My latest fave is brushed center with gloss black inner/outer rim.

What say you Lateral-g?

The first one get's my vote and I agree with Aj on the finish.

What break setup are you going to run? That could change my vote.

Wow. That's damn near unanimous!

For the wheel finish, I wanted gunmetal at first but, I thought it would look too "tuner"-ish and wanted something that is contemporary without being too "bling" which lead me to the Brushed center/Gloss Black rim wheel finish as a choice.

I agree, the first one is much better. The second one is to "blingy" for my tastes.

Hope your project goes well!

I'd rather see a step lip wheel and possibly more contrast from shell to center. You have NO chrome or shiny on that car. My point, keep looking.
