Cool Lemans vs LC818

Hello fellow CL members! Would you all be so kind to give your input in these two wheels that I'm trying to decide on, it's driving me crazy!

I will be on Megan EZ Streets before I buy these but I just want to decide on which one. I will just be lowering it enough to eliminate fender gaps. I have a Obsidian Black 250, black interior and 30% tint all around. No other cosmetic mods. I'm planning to run 19" with 235/35(F) and 265/35(R) and the wheels will be both 19x8.5/19x9.5. I'm mainly asking your opinion on which wheel will look better on what I currently have at the moment.

Linea Corse LeMans in full HYPER BLACK or HYPER BLACK w/ Polished Lip

or

Linea Corse LC818 in SATIN BLACK

I appreciate all your input! THank you

p.s. I apologize for not being able to provide pictures. (work computer) but if any of you are willing to post any pictures of Black ISX50 with either of these wheels would be great!

I would personally go with the LC818 they give a much better and aggressive look to the IS. I also have an Obsidian Black IS250 and I wouldn't personally go with black wheels, IMO it looks sort of ugly with black wheels.

Replica LM's are played out. The authentic ones will never get old.. Such a timeless masterpiece.

I've always loved the LM style but I think the LC818 looks better on our cars.

I'm getting the impression that majority of the folks here are not a big fan of the "BLACK on BLACK" look. But I'm also starting to grow on the hyper silver color scheme. Especially with our chrome housing headlights and window trims...with the hyper silver it will give it a little more "FLOW".
