Default New HRE 792's or Iforged aeros?

Much confusion in my head right now as to what to do for my wheels. I used to like an old set of twisted spokes I saw some company make, but they weren't perfect. Now HRE has made the wheels of my dreams.

They however only make them in 19's. I know 19's will be gorgeous in this design, they are not ghetto wheels. But tire selection will be a problem. I am building a LS7 and drag radials are really really necessary as my wife will be driving this car and I want to make sure it sticks. So do I suck it up and just get the 792's, or settle (if thats what you can call it) for 18" Iforged aeros with the 335 nitto DR? Help me decide.

those are some gettoe wheels. especially in 19's. says bling bling look at me i have a glock and glocks are the most ghetto associated pistol even though law enforcement readily uses them. hahaha.

that was sarcasm but i don't like how the spokes curve but you do. i've got 19's all around now and don't like 19's up front. they look too big for the front. it's your money and a lot of it here for either wheels.

Is the Glock hat and shirt I wear worse or better than the wheels for the ghetto factor?

I dig the newest styles of directional spokes. Check out these new Boze ZE Forged wheels:

Those wheels are bad, but I think they've been making them for a while now. I think I saw a Trans Am with those on it in a car audio magazine like 6-7 years ago.

They announced the 790 series in February I believe, or a little earlier. its been less than a year. They had the curved spoke 542, which I liked but wasn't quite as cool.
