Default Need a little help in choosing Wheels

I picked up a set of OEM wheels off of eBay and now have to decide which is my winter rims and which is my summer ones.

Any thoughts you have would help.

Have a look at the 2 sets and let me know.

I really like the Premium Painted Cast Aluminum style but think the Machined Cast Aluminum are brighter...

Does it really matter? Why don't you alternate wheels each year? One year use the Bullitts for summer duty(for winter you use the machined finished ones) and switch it around the following year. Should have bought some polished 18" Bullitts for summer duty IMO........

I hear you on the 18 Polished, But I got the Machined Cast Aluminum for 100.00 plus 100.00 shipping.

I would have had to pay 400.00 for black stamped winter rims here in Calgary.

I get the swapping part, but I am lazy and thing once I decide the tires will stay on until I need to replace them.

Thanks

Every 3 months flip a coin, and you could possibly feel like you are driving a new car every time you changeover.

Now, there's a great idea.

Sell them both and buy a nice set of aftermarket wheels.
