I personally like the design better, mainly because the fronts are not DD like LMR's but I've heard that OE's quality and finish is top notch.

I just bought a set of the anthracite ones from LMR. I happen to like the lip on the front wheels and didn't like the OE ones at all. But I'm also planning a 6 wheel rotation. 315/35-17s on the back during the summer and 275/40-17 all seasons on the back during the winter. The summer wheels are sitting in the garage. They'll go on this spring.

im pretty sure though that OE's anniversary wheels are only 10" in the back while LMR's are 10.5 if that matters.....

OE's are only 10" but the Nittos run narrow.
These are the 315 NT555's on a 10.5", so I should be fine with them on a 10".

They definitely are. I placed my order yesterday and their "sales technicians" really seem to know their ****.
I'll post pics of these babies when I get em. Should be here Monday or Tuesday. Won't be on the car until probably the end of March or later depending on the snow situation.
