Default Which wheels should i buy??

Cant decide on which set of wheels to buy. Both sets are BBS RF's, both sets are same size and price.

Set 1:



Mirror polished dishes, freshly powdercoated centers

Set 2:



Mirror polished dishes, half polished faces

Just like to hear peoples opinions on this before i go and spend all my wages again!

The polished ones. There's a very nice corrado in the same colour as your car and they look stunning. Well done for being different

Sorry mate but they both look terrible.
Seen your build thread and fair play to you so far, but these will completely ruin the car IMO.

Because ive had enough of running fake wheels lol

Decided to go with the first set, because they are in immaculate condition. Freshly powdercoated, freshly polished, havnt had tyres fitted since refurbed

Should look ace when they're on!
