help me decide between these two rims ....
Looking to put some rims on my black s550 (has amg sport factory kit).
I have been on the quest for some nice rims that woun't break the bank but the more you search, the more you realize the best rims are definitely by no chance cheap at all.
Anyways, i love a nice simple 5 spoke rim that doesn't make the car look ghetto or childish. Just nice and classy regardless of its color or style.
So, after months of searching, I have narrowed it down to these two:
Option 1: Vertini Drift
Size: 20x8.5 (F) / 20x10 (R)
Offset: 35mm (F) / 35mm (R)
I really like this rim as it fits my ideal choice( nice thick straight spokes with decent lip action). However, it only comes in Black, Matte Black and Gold. I would have preferred hyper silver. Am concerned the black rim on a black s550 will garner too ..or "three"
more attention than I really want. I have to admit that the black on black look will look good though.
i don't want every cop paying me attention at every turn. To refinish them to silver would probably cost an addition $1,000...so thats out of the question.
They cost $1500 and fit right into my budget for rims.Not sure on the quality of the manufacturer though but they seem to be pretty reputable in their category.
Also, i have to buy them online albeit free shipping is offered. With tires probably total will come to $2300-$2500
Option 2: K3 Projekt wheels
Size: 20x9 (F)/ 20x11(R) ...aggressive. Rear has alarming 5 inch lip with about an inch sticking out of fender. Am sure the rim guys on here know that stance/look
Offset: No idea but the seller (local company seller/installer of luxury rims who has same car) guarantees they will fit my car with no need for modification.
i like these rims too as they are silver, simple and classy. But the aggressiveness concerns me as my car is my daily driver. They are willing to give them to me for $2250. With tires, I am probably looking at $3250-$3300 total.
So, help me decide people.
Which would you pick?
Thanks

This style not my cuppa tea..
Difficult to help decide in a personal choice but personally I am a fan of the Lorinser turbine ones.
Which will exceed the budget just for one wheel+tire ..
or replica's then, you can do it easily ( that I have in 20's )you can have them in 22's too.. hard to find (Ebay.de) thought.
Good luck!!
