I like the resin centers, gives a little more 3D to the wheel.

Resin center.
Did you modify the vent for the rear wheels?

Yes, I did. I opened it and removed the fins inside it. I like this look much better.....

Thank you for your votes everyone. I decided to go with the Machined wheels. I should have them by the end of the week!!!

Resin center, but not black. Go polished aluminum.

Re: Help me Choose my wheels..NEED HELP!!!

I like the resin centered ones better, only because they look more substantial. Though, honestly, both look too spindly to hold up to the punishment a car like that will put them through. The all machined ones are cooler looking, though, perhaps with spokes a tad thicker?

Polish the machined wheels, that would look awsome.
