Default Wheel poll! Help me decide!

*WTF* how do you add a poll lol... can't find the feature

Okay dudes and dudettes...
I've narrowed it down to 2 wheels. Both will be 18x9" all around.


FR500's (silver finish)
I like how subtle they are nothing too catchy but far from dull and unnoticable. They really bring out the red IMO and brighten up the car. Very clean looking.


OR

Saleen replicas (black finish)
I love the menacing look. The way the flat-ish black finish on the wheels really meshes nicely with the flat black spoiler, rocker stripe, hood stripe, and shaker. Along with the tint I think it looks great. It really makes the red look darker too and it's not the lighting either, IMO. I think I could really pull these wheels off though because of all the black accents and red + black do look flawless.

I saw go for the FR500's. I am not a fan of all black wheels without a polished lip. I have black FR500's and I love them.

TO be honest, I'm sort of bored of seeing black with a chrome lip. THat's why I'm looking at the silver FR500's

I think with the Saleens... I have to be 100% committed to these wheels and how they are all black.
I'm leaning towards the silver FR500's though.

edit: Also, since these will be 18x9... I don't think the black FR500's would look good simply because of the minor but obviously small lip for the rear. I don't know.

I try and picture them on my car in real life but I don't know.

Actually, I lied... it doesn't look to bad with 18x9 all around.
