Default need a hand deciding between these two wheels

Looking for decent quality 1 piece staggered wheels with lips and it came down to these two. I like the directional wheel look. P'chopped on my ride.








1: Vossen VVS 086 Matte Silver (chrome Lip)

Rims- front: 20x9 +38 rear: 20x10.5 +45
Tires- Falken452 front: 245/35 or 235/30? rear: 275/30 or 285/30? Suggestions on best tire size?













2: Roderick RS-4 Brushed face / black windows / Chrome lip
Rims- front: 20 x 8.5 +40 rear: 20 x 9.5 +40 not exactly sure on best offsets, was told they offer 20-40mm on these
Tires- Falken452: front: 245/35 or 245/30? Rear: 275/30

















opinions welcome

I think the Roderick RS-4 look better bc they remind me of the Vossen VVS-083 (which I think are pimp).

hahha, you did... my bad, computer acting up from all the x-rated sites LOL. Anyways, I like the vossens size and specs, but I do like how the Rodericks style. I guess It all depends what look your shooting for? From what I see, the vossens has that sporty but luxury appearance and while the Rodericks has that luxury vip finish. I like'm both. Good luck on your choice

Can't go wrong with either one they're both equally appealing I can see why you can't decide. I'm leaning more towards Rodrick more details in them...

Go for Vossen, as for tires, go for 245/35R20 and 275/30R20, I think it is the proper FAT setup.
