Default The Great Debate: Five Axis S5:F or Linea Corse DYNA

I know, I know... I am obsessed with these two wheels and I can't make up my mind. These are among the two hots wheels on the grey car. My car is Obsidian IS250 AWD.

Let me hear your opinion:

I just wish the Dyna's came in deeper gunmetal vs. hyper silver.

i think the LCD looks better in lighter colors, but if you have to pick a dark color wheel; i would definately go with five axis

LCD is a classier wheel

5Axis is more sporty lookin

cant go wrong with either, but if ur gonna go gunmetal then my vote goes to 5 axis

Five Axis, I love Varianza T1S, but something doesn't look right with the dynas.

5Axis is not fake/replica of something.

I vote for 5Axis and it looks good too.

I agree with Nigel. Also there's not much of a weight penalty compared to the stocks for a cast 19" wheel:

Rear:

I dunno about a 'Great Debate', but I'll throw my hat in:

I'd go 5 Axis as well... rip off wheels stink. Not only that, but the 5 Axis wheels look better!

I'm in the EXACT same dilemma... I need to get tires (and thus, rims) within the next month or so and I can't friggin' make up my mind between these two. I have an MRM, so I guess my plight is a little different than yours, but I also want darker wheels (gunmetal-ish).

In the pictures you have, both look so good. The LCD's have a nicer finish, but the S5:F's look nicer (~ish). On the other hand, you can have a lip with the LCD's and you can't with the S5:F. I don't even know what to vote!!?
