I would go with the first one. I never really liked the machined as in number 2.

thanks for the reply, my local dealer only deals with some companies obviously and I found those two, I never really liked the second one, it does remind me of ghetto'd out cars too haha
anyways I gave XXR a call, let me tell you....they really have a terrible customer service, if the lady i was talking to was infront of me i would've choked her to death twice...anyways back to topic...the first choice doesnt have our bolt pattern but I found one that does---> http://www.xxrwheels.com/sportmax_502.shtml#

the chromium black is the only wheel that has the pattern, which is what I thought is the sexiest of em...I made up my mind on these one's...let me know what you guys think.

btw im planning on running 20's

18's....With more rubber on the wheels you get better track times

Wow those 502's look great..

I'd go 18s..More rubber, and I think 20's just look too big on our cars

18s because 20s+ are murder... Also less weight, more rubber, better for track, etc. I was going to downsize to 17s (or more radically, 16s).

If you put 20s you gotta put Lambo doors too.

its nothin wrong with 20's and lambo doors if you're going just for looks (maybe it's just me) but if you're taking it to the track and plan on doing alot of racing then go 18's
