Which wheels should i get?

I can not decide which wheels i want to get for my white camaro.
Either one i get i am going to powder coat them white. It all just depends on the design.

if you are painting the whole wheel white, i would like the right ones better.

if you paint only the centers and leave the edges polished, the first ones would be my choice.

overall i prefer contrasting wheel colors, dislike wheels that match the body color!!

your car, rule it!!

the first wheels front = 36 pounds and rear = 37.8 pounds

second set front = 26.3 pounds and rear = not available (cant be much more than front)

so second set is defiantly lighter

Easy. Left.

Too much happening on those right wheels. Look like import wheels to me, but you asked.

The right. They weigh less and they will look much better in all white the the 5 spoke. If you paint the ones on the left all white they will look really chunky.
