If you're not blacking out the chrome on your car, I'd go with the 2nd set.

Its an 11 so the headlights are blacked at least, the only chrome would be the trim. Also another question, I read multiple articles stating that a staggered setup is bad for all-wheel drive cars, is that true?

ps- how do you black out the trim, buy black trim or paint it?

Saucemang these wheels are well priced at elementwheels.com

We have the same car color... although I like the first one better iLL probably go with the second just to give it a contrasting effect on your steel gray... the all black one will look better on a white or silver

Soo I think its 4-1 all black..... Any other opinions.... My windows are already blackout out, so it would only make sense to go all black right?

I think 19x8.5 (45mm offset) in front and 19x9.5 (55mm offset) in the rear. His car was lowered. If I can find the thread, I'll post the link. They are great looking wheels, no doubt about it.
