ATTENTION (lol) - need opinions on wheels

So I need a lil help here, I am leaning towards the 855's because they are different but love the 818's too.

Keep in mind I will be running open faced red Blox Lug conversion with these as well.

Zoeb feel free to throw your opinion in here as well!

PAKMAN thanks for the pics! LOL

Here is my car:


I am either going with the LC 855's (Satin Black):





or the 818's (Hyper Black):

thank you....... ummm.. does one look like a csl rep?
I assume you are implying that the 818 looks like the CSL?
So you are recommending I get the 855?

sorry, everytime I see anywheel which resemebles CSL rep or mesh type rep I get sick. I gues I'm saying get the 855's. it may be harder to clean, but the long black spokes on the 855's makes the wheels look bigger than they are.

thanks for the clarification.... I agree with you about the reps, however the 818 is so concave it really gives it it's own look I think.

But yeah I like the 855's.

Here are some satin black installed pix





I would say LC855 only because of offset

choosing between the 2 is a difficult task as they are both great looking wheels

I had no problem with the 885 in the first pic but satin just looked "dirty".
I want to get rid of my black wheels personally but the effort of trading wheels with someone seems almost impossible as nobody can drive and has curbed wheels, and mine are 100% perfect.

The concave look still seems like a fresh look in my mind which is why I have a bias to the 818.

That is a tough decision.

All those damn spokes to clean ugh

yeah going to have to experiment with some different soaps with maybe some additives in it.... maybe some spray wax and such.... It will be all good! Gotta be careful not to make them shiny tho.

818's all the way...and you're wheels should stand out. They should be a focal point to add contrast to a car, not be drowned out. Dark wheels make cars look bland and it just looks like you have dirty ass wheels. Why hide the beauty of a wheel by painting it black? Just my two-cents
