Default Down to two rim choices

Well I've found two sets of rims that I like and I'm having a hard time deciding. They both have a 2.5 inch lip and are 18's.

Heres the First ones, Hyperblack




And here are the Second ones. (sorry no on car pictures)



Please let me know what ones you like better and why. Thanks a lot, Drew

This is probably not going to be a lot of help, however I like the spoke design of the first wheel, but the black finish of the second....Especially if it's going to be on a black car.

Either would look good, but the first would be better.

I actually like the second ones better. They remind me of SS wheels a bit but with a nice lip, if only they made a 10.5"! Any idea on the weight of those?

I'm pretty set on the first ones, but i'm waiting on a side shot from the owner of that SS. I think i'm going to go with 18's and i'm not too worried about them not being wider because it'll make them easier to tuck when I do my airride (sorry if some don't like this).

Hey those wheels in the first pic look familiar ! I had the black C5 Z06s with a machined lip that are in my sig pic, and even though they looked great and drew compliments from everywhere, i got sick of looking at an all black wheel. After a while it just starts looking like a huge void in the middle of the wheel. Those puny LT1 brakes make it look even worse. That's why I decided it was time to get something with a little bit more personality and went with the hyperblack ADR M Sports.

Thanks, I hope you don't mind that i borrowed the pictures. I wanted to make sure everyone had a good picture of them and yours show it better than the manufactures.

No problem mang! I didn't like the manufacturer's stock picture either that's why i posted my own.
