Default Opinions needed. Keep Sevas S22 or MRR HR2? (4 pictures)

I recently listed these wheels for sale. There was a guy ready to buy, but he backed out at the last minute. I do not need to sell them anymore, but I still might if I get enough feedback from this thread. Finals are over and I will be lowering the car on Eibach springs today, after I get my jack back from my friend.

I am torn between these two wheels. The Sevas S-22 (20") and the MRR HR2 (20"). Both staggered.

Cost is also a factor. The Sevas are about $300 more than the MRRs. Just an issue to take into consideration.

Should I sell the Sevas and get the MRRs? Comments are greatly appreciated.

20" Sevas (pardon the dirty car and university apartment):






20" MRR (same setup I am looking to get), lowered on Tein coilovers:


Thanks in advance!

I personally like the Sevas wheel. The Sevas wheel looks like it would cost much more than the 300$ difference. The MRR makes the car look like a hotwheel imo.

Is the Sevas a true multipeice wheel? if not, then get the MRR. I don't really like wheels that look multipeice but are really not. Just doesn't cut it for me.

whazzzzzzzup, even though they are 1pc design, i say sevas. i was going to get those same wheels, but changed my mind to get something else. the mrr's look odd to me. just my 2 cents.

The Sevas were a good choice.. Now the car just needs a little drop the GS will be looking tight.. The Sevas are overall a better rim because of the lip.. The MMR is nice to but you have to have the lip ..Thats just my opinion.. Nice choice..
