Default Which wheels do you think would better on SC430?

I recently ordered 19" EXXE (by Work) wheels at a great price. It was a such good price, I could not pass it up so I just ordered it.

Here is my plan

I currently have 19" Maya(Maido) GR5 on my SC430 which one wheel has 2 1/2 inch curb rash and one has few very minor nicks/dings on the lip.

I am think of putting Exxe wheels on my Lexus SC430 and get the Maya wheels repaired/polished and put them on my other car which is 350Z Roadster.

Fortunately, when I got my Maya GR5 wheels, I made sure that I got an offset that would fit both of my cars (SC430 & 350Z) so I can interchange the wheels between two car.

I know that Maya (Maido) GR5 is more known/expensive/quality??? (we'll see) wheel than the Exxe. Exxe wheels are made by Work. Other than, that no one really seems to know anything about the wheels like their quality, durability, & how they are made. I am assuming they are good quality wheels because they are made by Work but I could be wrong.

In my opinion, GR5 is great looking wheels but I think on a SC430, it needs little more bulky style wheels.

I want your opinion on which wheel do you think would look better on my SC430(looks only)?

GR5 or Exxe?


Your vote, thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The thing with GR5 is u don't get to have big lips, even with low offsets and low disk set up.

I maybe selling these wheels soon. I just bought some used 20" Maya DTS at a great price. Its on its way right now and I will have them mid next week.

It looks like I am going through quite a few wheels on this car.

There is no end. Everytime I get something, I want something else.

You wanna trade cars?

I orignally wanted to get white but could not find a decent deal so I end up getting silver.

I love white cars. Most of my previous car is white including my 350Z Roadster which I currently own too.



I am thinking of selling my Z in about 6 month and getting another White Car.

GS430? Acura RL or Infiniti M45. We'll see.
