591R.

My 0.02$, get something with the same finish as your Z8 HRE's and without rivets + PCCB's and your golden.

I like both, but I'd get the 591r's just to change it up from your old wheels. Just to get a new look.

591Rs. I like 7-spoke rims a lot more than 5-spokes, especially when it comes to HREs. IMO, 5-spokes are boring.

He didn't want to take the first depreciation and he enjoys buying and selling cars, according to other thread that I read.

The rims...HRE 591R doesn't look bad so maybe you should give it a try since you never tried(?).
both will look good

I ike the HRE 597R (my old wheels) black with chrome lip better,because you can show off the Brakes more. Also th contrust between the chrome lip and the inner wheels is hot.
