Default Which do you like?

On a whim, I picked up a set of Enkei CDR9 18" wheels from a dude who had them on Craigslist. I got all four rims, two of which are brand new and have never had a tire on them, the two others, one has a couple very small, minor knicks on it but you can't notice unless you're really looking. The fourth looks just as good as the two new ones, nothing to mention about it. Looks new. Two of them came with pretty decent Kuhmo Ecstas with about half life left in them. So basically, three wheels in perfect shape and a fourth with only minor defects and two pretty good tires for $200. Now, I already have my Enkei EV5's and really liek them although I need to take them somewhere and get the chrome lips on all four fixed. Former owner driving on salted roads messed up the clear on them and I need to have them redone. Otherwise, great shape. I do need tires before I put them on in the spring. Basically, which do you guys like more and think would look best on my silver LX?

CDR9's






EV5's





Can anyone photoshop them on?

I would say the CDR9's but that lip with all the holes weirds me out. Keep the EV5s

Here is a quickie I did. Barely know how to operate photoshop. Keep the ones on your car, they look much better, imho.

I think I am going to stick to the EV5's. I never have been a fan of the thinner spoked wheels anyways, just saw a deal and took it. I'll be selling the wheels here soon. a5ylum5150, it would probably cost a small chuck of cash to ship them 3000 miles.
