Smile opinion on Wheels: Weds SA55M vs LC818

looking to get new 19" wheels for my Atomic Silver IS350..
What do you guys think, LC818 hypersilver (might paint to gunmetal), or the SA55M (blue accents)?

Weds Sport SA55M:

Linea Corse LC818:

Boost786's XXR530s, same design as LC818

Not really a fan of the blue highlights on the wheels.

Darker wheels def look better on atomic silver. Maybe not necessarily those exact wheels with the blue highlights, but my vote goes to a black/graphite rim.

Sidenote: where did you get your roof spoiler? Thats exactly what ive been looking for.

I'm thinking of getting the wheels done in Gunmetal if I do get the LC818.

I like Weds, but the blue highlights ruin the wheels.

Why not just get the Weds in Gunmetal?

I'd go with the SA-55M if you care about performance (lightweight wheels, made in Japan). The LC818 are heavier than the SA-55M (I think the LC818 weigh around 25 lbs for a 19x8.5 and 28 lbs for a 19x10).

Ask for Mark at RavSpec (CL vendor) if you need details on the SA-55M. He's the go-to guy for JDM wheels

Weds over reps anyday!

However that blue highlight is ugly. Get it in gunmetal or silver.

i played with a set of 19" SA55Ms (in gunmetal) and they were great. hands down they are quality wheels though i would lean towards the linea corsa's design! i agree dark colored wheels look best with atomic silver. if you can get the linea's in a darker shade, you have a winner!
