Both are nice I'd go black with machined face for sure I've seen these in silver and silver doesn't do the design any justice. The top is my favorite but they'll be a ***** to clean.

Thanks for all the feedback I have been thinking about the 82s black machine face lip. Just seeing what people think about these wheels also cleaning is not something I am worried about. I have some BBS wheels on my Evo. Those are a pain to but with a orbital it isnt to bad lol.

They both look nice, but look at some others as well as $2k+ for made in China wheels is a bit much..

I like the 82's but I have never been a fan of rims with black accents or black rims on a white car
