Cool Wheel Change please!

Ahh.... I thought I had decided on wheels and then someone comes along asnd says something and now I am unsure again, haha. Could you do a side by side of the car comparing 18 inch black chrome saleens (AM has good pics) and 18 inch hypercoated 2010 gt premium wheels (also from AM)?

Thanks so much whoever can pick this up!!

Pic of the car.

here ya go; it was actually kind of hard to find those 2010's at that angle (the saleens weren't that easy come to think of it )

The Saleens look awesome! I was trying to find black saleens to chop for you but I couldn't find any with good angles.

no apologies needed; sometimes there simply aren't quality pics of what you are trying to chop, so improvising is necessary

anywho, as far as which wheel goes, you don't really see 2010 wheels on a new edge (even though those wheels did just come out), but you do see saleens all the time; imo, i'd go with the 2010's

xeno, that was my thought when i picked the 2010's. i may have to strick with gut instinct. they are both very similar, and compliment the car and what i wanna do... the 2010's have a little more detail to them as well... guess we will see what ahppens come spring!!

I was just thinking too, there is a customer image or image when you click on the wheel of the 2010'a on a black new edge on AM. it is in almost the same position as my car, just the facing the other way, hah.

IMO i dont like the 2nd wheel type at all...very out of place

I'd stick with either the 2010 GT500 wheel or nothing from 2010...
