Which Wheels would You Choose?
I'm in the market to switch wheels since summer is rapidly approaching. My car came with 18" Classics (made by BBS) with black centers and a polished lip. Although I like the whole black look, I'm not very fond of the spoke design. Plus, maybe having black wheels on a black car with black interior is a little bit of an overkill.

I'm looking to upgrade to a 19" application, I know how some frown upon 19s, but I'll be using my 18's for the track anyways. Let me know what you guys think, I'm having a tough time with this, as I love all four of them. (oh and before you guys jump the gun, I have clear side markers in and suspension is on its way! this is an old pic)

Thanks for your help, guys. ps. my p-shop skills are lacking, so pls bear with me!

1. HRE 841R
2. HRE 542R
3. BBS LMs
4. Techart Formulas

All look sweet.
This is my order
#1= LM's
#2= Techart
#3=542r
and I am not sure that I like the way the 841r's look for my 4th choice.
Later,
Luis

The 542's are my all-time favorite wheel, but the LM is classic, never look old, and ultimately would look great on your car. I vote for the LM's!

Jon,

I personally like the BBS LM pattern but with a deeper lip.
