Default Black FR500s or Black Saleens???

I may be ordering new wheels this week and I'm torn. Some of the things I'm going to do to compliment either wheel is tint and I still wish to take out the remaining isos on the springs (only 1 per spring).



(Obviously with the DD in the back)

I usually prefer the fr500s......butttt the saleens look so sick. It really shows off the brake caliper/region.

But, either way....can't go wrong

i say fr500. i like the chrome lip on those, makes it look really good. But like you said, DD in the back for sure. not a fan of all solid black wheels.

I'm a 5 spoke or die sort of person.
I think the Saleens show off the stance of the car more. Or, perhaps
they were just better pictures.

Me too. Saleens are my favorite wheel on the New Edge. Something about them. But I like the look of a DD and the chrome lip contrasts nicely with the reflections on the paint.
