Default UPDATED: WHEELS INSTALLED!!!

OK...I've narrowed it down to two wheels. The Tork Icon and the Tork Switch. I like both so it's really tough to pick one and decided to leave it up to voting.

The Switch looks sick when it's rolling and has that choppy effect due to the chrome spoke accents; that's a selling point for me. Although, I prefer the deeper lip of the Icon. So hard to decide.


Both wheels are in 20x8.5 and 20x10. Icon has 5" lip(rear). Switch has 4" lip(rear).

I got my Toyo Proxes 4 in 245/35 and 295/30 waiting in my garage so all I need are the wheels.

Pic of my car to help with decision making. Thanks!



EDIT 3/14/09: I just got the wheels installed this morning. There was an issue with the rear wheels' spokes hitting the brake calipers just barely. Argh! The tire shop had to install spacers for the rears and that made the wheel/tire stick out past the fender lip slightly but it still looks ok. I now need to buy a panhard rod since I can see the left side sticking out a little more than the right. I didn't notice this with the stock wheels since they were tucked in the fenders. Anyway, here are the pics...

I personally like the second ones, but I think the first ones would look better for your car, especially in white.

Maybe I'm getting old but I just don't get the black wheel thing. They always look dirty to me. Moreover, if there is one color I despise black wheels on most it's white. Not trying to hurt your feelings, I just don't get it.
