Exclamation Can't decide between these 2 wheels!!!
I've narrowed my wheels choices down to 2, and I can't decide at all between them. So I'm asking for help. Both of these I've photochoped on my car(first time I really used photoshop so excuse the poor quality).

18" Hyperblack Ruff 278s



18" Chrome Speedy Envys
