Default Leon Orden or Work Euroline SL Opinions?

Hey guys, I'm kind of torn, of which wheels to get. I'm downgrading my 20" rims to 19" rims, due to driving the car everyday, drive ability, and a bit thicker tires.


I have a Chance to buy a set of Chrome Leon Hardritt Ordens 19x8.5 +35 and 19 x9.5 +39 or Silver w/polished lip Work Euroline SL's size 19x8.5 and 19x10 +40 offset all around, both for the same price.

I was wondering if anyone notice any differences between the wheels? To me they look EXACTLY the same.

But I wanted to get the wheels redone like the Work Schwert SC2....the inner spoke rim is painted black as well as the inner rim where the rivets are.

Like this:


any thoughts?

the only differences I see are the 3 bolts vs. 4 bolts, the spokes flare out a bit on the Ordens and the splices or splines extend a bit further.

The specs are pretty much the same, I prefer the SL cuz there discontinued and everyone else is rockin ordens. Also depends if you like the chrome over silver too.

oh yeah, If you thinking about that color scheme the chrome will be more expensive to get it the way you want.

Ordens are more VIP, they look great and they are a right of passage, if you can afford them it's like owning a lexus instead of a honda.

SLs look nice but I wouldn't call them VIP. They are sporty and sexy. But I don't like rims that expose too much of the GS's rotor. Just not the GS

Edit: whoops I thought u were talking about the Schwarts... I would go with Leons...

Im surprised they are the same price.. Ordens are normally more expensive since they are more vip but the sl's have the same look and the sizing is a little better.. Regardless you will need spacers to fit them right since the offset it so high. It depends on what other mods you have on your car and what wheel finish would work better with the current mods you have

I agree however, unless you have the BBK to show it off...

The SL spokes don't go in flush with the lip... they stick out. Also for some reason SL spokes seem shorter. Are SL's delivered faster? I got LS-406's and they needed to be made and shipped from japan.

HMM, thanks guys for the opinions, My car isn't really done for VIP and my VSXX are already Chrome. So I Kinda of wanted to go a different route. It's Just me, im not into those really low aggressive offsets or vip look, I'm still Old school hahaha.

dark knight, thats what I was going to do to the SL's; Brushed Finish, Polish Lip, Black accents, like those Work Schwert's posted up top.
