Default Foose or Racing Hart (Also, staggered setup)

I am very indecicive (in addition to being a terrible speller) I just can not make up my mind! I figure you guys (and gals) can help me out...

Choice 1:

Foose Lusso (chrome) 20x8.5 in the front, 20x9.5 rear

Choice 2:

Foose Lusso (chrome) 19x8.5 in the front, 20x9.5 rear

Choice 3:

19" Racing Hart S15's

So far from search I have come up with the following information about foose:

"The speedster rims are ghetto"

I was wondering if someone could shed a little more light on Foose, and the Lusso.

its all up to you, but Racing Hart and Foose are two TOTALLY different wheels. I think Chip Foose (the founder of the company) is a hot rod builder by profession (in additon to bikes and stuff), I think his designs are more function follows form, rather than vice versa(like Racing Hart). I think the Lusso (if thats the one with the skinny spokes) is pretty cool looking, but if I had a shot at some Racing Harts instead, i'd jump all over the Racing Harts.

Foose is more like Giovanna, Neeper, etc and I think most of those wheels are 'trendy', like who wants to ride around on Neeper Neptunes nowadays.

By the one you like, but I just thought I would shed some light.

The Racing Harts definitely say 'performance,' wheras the Foose say 'bling bling.'

I'm relatively sure that the heaviest Racing Hart wheel is lighter than the lightest Fosse wheel- KMC makes the Foose wheels, and they aren;y known for making a particularly lightweight wheel. Something to consider... but in the end, style is the real reason most people buy wheels. Which ones do you prefer? I think your answer lies there...

Thats the exact point I was trying to make, thanks for supplies more specific manufacturing info! As I said before make your choice, but look at KMCvsRacingHart to get a better perspective.

Nothing wrong with Bling, as long as its classy bling
