Default Wheel choice

These are two of the wheels I have in mind and was just wondering which one you guys like better. I can get the Billet Specialties for $200 cheaper for the set over the Centerlines. Just looking for some thoughts.

That's a tough one... the Centerlines appear just a bit beefier...

After looking at the pics several times, the Billet Specialties give the wheels a larger appearance. There is less material on the outer rings so it would give an 18" wheel the illusion that they were actually 19". I think I like the Billet Specialties better for that reason alone and you save $200.
2 good detailed pics would help a lot. Those arent the greatest comparison pics.

Adam because of the size limit that is the best my non computer skills could do on the Billet Specialties.

Here you go side by side comparisons. I still choose the Billet. They will also let you see your disks better.

Between those 2, I guess I'd have to vote for the Centerlines.
