They actually are the same wheels. When I replaced my rear wheels with the 18x10.5 DD ones, I ended up eventually selling him the leftover 18x8.5's I had. He went with a staggered setup with the 18's up front and the 19x10's in the rear

I instantly fell in love with the blacked out look for the wheels when I had them powdercoated. gave the car a meaner look, yet also a simpler overall appearance without the contrasting lip.

personally I'm still not a huge fan of these wheels in general (never have been), but don't plan to buy anything else anytime soon. I'm content
