Default Which one looks better

So selling the XXR's...........now looking for some quality wheels

I have come down to 2 options

1) Enkei RPF1 (silver)
18x9 +35 all around
225/40 tires
17lb/wheel !!!!!
***IN THIS CASE, I CAN USE MY EXISTING TIRES, NO NEED TO BUY NEW TIRES***

2) Avant Garde M510
19x8.5 +35 -- 19x9.5 +40
May run stagger 225/35 and 265/30
May also run 9.5 all around, 235/35
~24-25lb/wheel
***IN THIS CASE, NEED TO BUY NEW TIRES

Did some photoshop work.........which one you guys like more?
Also, in terms of quality, which one of the two is better?

***SIZE/SPEC ASIDE, JUST IN TERMS OF LOOKS AND QUALITY ***

Thanks

avants look a lot better on your car.

i say go with it, the tires are a bonus too

even though the enkeis are 19's they look way smaller cause of the design of the rim

The lip you have looks a bit more tuner to me and that's why I say go with the Enkei's. not a fan of 18's and how small they look and the brakes show so much with te Avant Gardes.

Hey. You mean my front lip looks more tuner? I may change it up soon but its true I'm more into the tuner style bc my friends are all JDM Lol

I like the enkei more. I know enkei is not big on CL but its VERY popular here in Toronto hence better resale value

As well I like wider wheels so 18x9 not so bad
My brakes are tiny anyways nothing to show Lol...

I don't really want to stagger on awd as safe as it may be....so 19x8.5 is a little narrow

The car comes stock 17 so 18s are still an upgrade ;p


I still have some time before Canadian winter is over so I'll see maybe I can sell my tires and go 19 on the m510
