Default Which Wheels?

Ok, I had a 2000 WS-6 that had a set of Simmons FR90 wheels (17X9 & 17X11) and I was hit by a guy who ran the red light and totaled the car. I have the wheels off being repaired right now and so i can put them on the '98 that I bought. My old car was Pewter and the new one's silver. I've really been wanting the American Racing Torq-Thrust M (Anthracite) (Series 105MA) for the car. The Simmons wheels I have were just under $4,000 for the set and the AR wheels will cost about half that. Which ones should I go with?

stick with the simmons is my vote, you dont see that style as much as the ttm's and youve already invested a lot of money into those wheels.

x2, the TTM's are a dime a dozen (not saying I don't like 'em, actually I have been thinking of getting a set), but those Simmons really stand out of the crowd!

Sweet! Thanks guys, I'm gonna stick with the Simmons!! They are a bitch and a half to clean but they'll look good. I'll post some pictures of them on my new T/A when I get them on.
