Default Opinions please (photochopped rims)

alrighty guys... I've got 2 sets of wheels on my hands right now... and I can't decide which to keep

so i photoshopped the second set of wheels i've got on... and lowered it while i was at it

Old School Blitz rims 18x8.5 and 18x10.5:
- rare factor
- old school factor
- lip action in the back
- need to get it polished


Rare set of Work Rims 18x8 and 18x9:
-rare factor
- new school factor
-LOTS of lip action front AND rear
-brand new

I love the lip and shine on the Work wheels, but hmm... the Blitz looks better overall on the car. Tough call... maybe two of each?

I was going to buy the Works Wheel myself, but they don't make them in a 19". Very nice wheel though.

Like others have said I like the Blitz wheel overall, sporty but still retains a classy look for the SC. Both sets are nice though.

How about you keep the Blitz wheels and give me the Works

the exhaust i bought off another board member... had them custom made in japan... (they sound REALLY good BTW.... i'll provide a clip for Intellexual when i get them nice and shiny)

I love the lip and shine on the Work wheels, but hmm... the Blitz looks better overall on the car. Tough call... maybe two of each?
.... thats exactly what i love about the works... lots of lip action! I should just put blitz on one side and the works on the other

I say keep them both. But if you put a gun to my head, I would say the Blitz
I would have had my head blown to pieces... i am really having a hard time deciding.

The work rims are blingtastic (OLT copyright)... and if I decided to keep the blitz... i would be refinishing them in a high polish instead of the dull silver..... so i dunno

this is tough....

**edit** can i post this on the Tirerack board to get some more feedback?

Cool, I look forward to it. Send it to info@intellexual.net or if the file's too big let me know and I'll set you up a temp. ftp account.

Hmm, I would do that just to see how long before somebody noticed it

Maybe sell both and buy a set of Work Equip 19s
