    Re: need opinions on wheel choice

    Ehhh on both but I'd definitely vote for the first ones if it came down to having to pick between the two. I would never put black/chrome rims on a blue car... It's like wearing black shoes with blue pants, just doesn't really work...

    If I got them I was going to blast the black off of them. I too hate all black centered wheels w/polished lips.

    Re: need opinions on wheel choice

    If I had to choose I'd go with the 1st choice but if you could find those in 18 I think it would be best, I like the wheels a lot if you are going for the low and slow look.

    #1 in 18's if possible as stated above. Make sure you have a nice drop with first set of wheels otherwise it will look ugly as phuk.

    Santorin FTW!!!!

    They are both ugly.
    The first ones in 18's would look like 16's.
    There is someone on this board that had those wheels for about 2 weeks before he decided to sell them.

    Re: need opinions on wheel choice

    I think they would look dope on an Avant though. A fuller body will work better with a full faced wheel.

    Re: need opinions on wheel choice

    with the correct et i think 9.5s in the rear can fit. i have 8.5's and theres definitely and inch left for some tires between the rear quarter panel and the upright.

    Re: need opinions on wheel choice

    I've seen people run the 9.5 et30 with 235/35/18 with no problems. I was going to stretch mine even more with 225/40 on the rear.
