Need Opinion -- GFG or Lorinser

Hey everybody, wanted to get your opinion on wheels. I currently have 2 sets of wheels and I am trying to decide on which ones to keep and which ones to sell. I am usually pretty good about analyzing things and making a decision quickly, but this one has me stumped. Please let me know which ones you like as I do value everybody's opinion on here. I have posted 2 pics of each...the GFGs are color-matched and the Lorinsers are chrome... Thanks !

I like the white gfg wheels better beacuse of the color. I not a fan of chrome wheels at all so I would like the Lorinser's better if they were painted white or black centers ..but the gfgs are already white and blow the the chrome wheels away.

Tacky?!? Black on bling bling chrome wheels is tacky. This man has multi-piece GFG colormatched to his car, thats called BALLER! Keep the GFGs bro the Lorinsers are played out. You cant beat beat white on white unless maybe your black on black.

tacky to me means too much of something, like wearing a red shirt with red pants...................i dont think chrome is too much on black it actually brings out the chrome trim around the car, i personally think white on white would look good, just not those rims, there not my cup of tea as you guys say, he asked for my opinion no need for the hater comments bigbody6, i personally think your rims look too small, but never bashed you on it...

Small? Why thank you I take it as a compliment because I chose to do 19s versus 20 or 22s because of performance and weight issues. Having big heavy wheels on a performance car doesnt make sence.Good move with the new wheels in your sig, they look really nice.

First your car is very nice
and either way you cant go wrong but if it were me id do the Lorinser, sometimes to much of one thing can throw off the look. add some contrast and do the crome.

BigBody6,
Your car is bad to the bone, one of the hottest on this forum period. wheels too small ? lol.. The thing I see most on the road and on the forum is "the car is too high" who likes the look of being on stilts ? .... 20's are ok if you have the AMG kit or some other brand kit and get it as low as you can, anything other than this tends to have the dreaded chuck wagon look. S-Class looks its best when you get it low to the earth, you can really see the beautiful lines of the car that way.... 22's on a w220 is a joke, total chuck wagon... 22's are nice on the S class w221,bmw 7 series,300 C etc.

I appreciate the compliments Nodubs. I see your from the old school of luxury cars which is "slammed and tucked". Even though I have the Lorinser front bumper and sideskirts 20s would not let me lower my car as much as 19s did. Your car is pimpy as **** and I love your custom exhaust I was going to do the Quad exhaust on my car but since its twin turbo they wanted big money to do it.
