Default Which wheels should I get?? (With PICS)

So I'm getting closer to getting me some wheels for my IS 350, I am really going back in forth on 2 sets of wheels.
The first set is the Volk gts in flat black....

and the other set is LC 818 smoke chrome...


I am looking at the pros and cons of each wheel..
For the Volks I love 5 spoke wheels and these are hott! Pricing on these are not cheap at all and they are a 90 day wait and who knows if longer now...
For the LC 818 Smoke chrome ,I really like these and think they will look sick on GFM, and they are cheaper. I could get rims and tires cheaper than just the wheels from Volk. But... I love the black on white look and have not done that before on a car.

This is my car now stock just tint...
..(that is my boys house in the hood)

This is my old supra....



So u see where I'm coming from with my love for those Volks. Plus I will need a drop but don't wanna tuck the rims just be somewhat flush and have to consider the cost of coils or springs...

What u guys think

I would go with smoked chrome, silver or polished wheels over black on a white car.

Volks all the way!! And you are very lucky, a member has these in the classifieds https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=548357. They're less then a couple hundred more the the LC818's & you don't have to wait 3 months.

EDIT:sffd beat me to it.

Volks! Just get a good offset because that's all that matters.

Love the LC818s but I see them far too often so my vote is for the Volks!
