Default Decision on wheels

Just purhchased a white 2006 SC430 with 25k miles. My stock wheels are pretty beat up. I don't really care for the looks of them even if they were brand new. I'm thinking about getting the non-chrome 18" G-Spider or non-chrome 18" TSW Cadwell ( http://tsw.com/ ). The price is the same for both. I know its lame for not getting 19 or 20's but I don't want to buy new tires and don't want to have unexpected problems with bigger rims. Any thoughts? What rim is better quality wise? I'm assuming the G-Spider's will be better for resale purposes?

Based on looks I would go with G-spider

I vote for the TSW Cadwells. But either choice wouldn't be a bad one. They're both great looking wheels

I say do the TSW Jarama's in 19 or 20".

Are you just limiting to the TSW brand for some reason?

I put the TSW Vortex on mine and am pretty happy with them. Didn't want to go bigger since I just bought new run flats a month before I decided to get the rims.

G-spider has my vote, looks particularly good on white SC's!

Love my Spyder-G's. They don't show dirt at all.
