Default *PICS* - Existing rims vs MRR HR2s on the way

Hey guys. I have a set of staggered 19" MRR HR2 wheels and tires on the way to my house. The current wheels on my car are 18" SSR GT3 replicas. I'm starting to have second thoughts on the MRR just because I really like the look of these GT3s. Should I just resell the MRRs and buy a real set of 19" GT3s to use with my tires? What do you guys think would look better on the car? Just looking for some opinions... The top 2 pics are my car and the last is another CL member's car with MRR HR2. Thanks

Yeah I agree. The HR2 is definitely a clean looking wheel. I'm just concerned I might miss the sportier look of the GT3 split spoke.

You don't want to buy my wheels. They're replica SSRs and the two passenger wheels are damaged. That's why I bought the HR2s. Thanks for the offer though.

I think the HR2's would be a nice upgrade from your current wheels

Thanks Seize. I'm feeling a little better about the decision now. I actually used a lot of your photo chop pics in my decision making. Even somebody like me that doesn't post a lot, I'm always on here looking at threads and using your resources. Much appreciation man!!

+1 for the MMR HR2's. On a silver car they look outstanding, not that your last wheels didn't look great.
