Default Opinions?

About to order some wheels from OE wheels, and am trying to decide between either the deep dish y2k wheels, or the deep dish c6(big stars). Black with polished lip on a white car with black accents. OE wheels doesn't have pictures of the black c6's but they have the gunmetal ones up.

I think the c6 ones look more unique, but the y2ks kinda look ccwish, and the thinness would allow more view of the rotors and whatnot. A photochop on the c6's would be cool too.

I was looking into those also but I am not sure if they offer a black finish. Also, I'm pretty sure it's a machined lip unless they now offer polished lips. Are you going with a 18/17 set or an 18/18 setup?

I wanted 18's all around.. looks like I might be screwed. I would do 18/19 but my set up is going to be putting too much power to be running without drag radials imo. Gonna call em and see what I can work out.

That would be awesome cause the lips are bigger on the 10.5 wheel anyway.. but a 10.5 wheel on the front of my car sounds like much unneeded weight, and fitment issues.
