In my opinion, if you are car is slammed, go with the one in the bottom.
If you car is either stock or 1.5"-2.0" dropped height, go with the one on the top.

I like the top one the best!! I would make a better judgement if i could see your car! I never really liked black wheels because they don't seem to stand out enough.. I would check out something in gun metal if i were you!

why would the height of the car have any bearing on which wheels to choose? i have to hear the logic behind this one


to the OP, personally, i would choose neither

The drop is pretty much for the looks of the car plus if the rims are too big and you do a drop it, the tires would rub against the car when you turn.
Basically lowering the car changes the look to what most people think is nicer which i personally think is nicer too

slamming a car makes it look really aggressive, so an aggressive rim should be paired. The lower rims the OP selected kinda looks like te37s, which are aggressive rims IMO.

Slightly lowering the car makes a car sporty but not quite aggressive IMO. Therefore a somewhat sporty rim would work well. The top rim with its multiple spokes make it look less aggressive IMO.

those dont look like TE37 in the least bit lol

that still doesnt make sense cause if you got the "sporty" wheel then slammed the car, then by that definition wouldnt it become an aggressive look?

I think all the opinions in the world really comes down to your personal preference. Just because half the people like the top and half like the bottom down help you much in ur decision. Maybe you should request a rendering on the Photoshop portion of the forum asking someone to place both wheels on the car so you can decide...
