I like the fronts...The lip on the rear makes the wheel look smaller than 19" for some reason.

I don't like either.
But the front looks better.

hyper silver looks kinda cheap, especially on smokey granite.
gun metal maybe?

The rears would look better if they were the same color as the front.

Front design gets my vote. I'd go with a gun metal or at least gloss black finish. Are those front calipers stock to your model?

Both are nice, but I like the front; definitely a sportier, more aggressive look.
