Arber you have to face the fact that the former "inspirees" are now the "inspirers", and keep on track with your build knowing that. I'm sure us "old heads" got a couple tricks up our sleeves to keep it competitive lol.

if you are going to powder coat them anyway why not get the ones you want and if you don't like the way it looks powder coat them gold like you were going to do the ones you were going to "settle" for

i thought you were running crazy offsets and widths?
cuz the first is the same specs my vs-xx were 18x8 +38, and 18x9 +38
which is weak offsets for the style you are going for, need lower offsets forsure, this isn't even going to require any kind of major fender modification, maybe a roll or cut, but not much
second one is not much better, at the same 8 and 9 inch widths and +35 offsets front and rear, and by the looks of that one centercap, the wheels aren't in mint condition, and will probably all need some kind of refinishing, depending on what you plan on repainting.... you're still not getting anywhere near fender flare territory, you're not even gonna be close to what flip is running currently
and those prices seem crazy for the sizes and offsets, i'm not gonna say how much they are, since you may not want other people to know... but the black ones, that's just way too much IMO, and he's had them for sale for like a month, so it's not like they seem like they are gonna go anywhere anytime soon.
Wasn't there a specific wheel you were looking at? cuz these seem very different from eachother, you can PM me a couple different kind of wheels you are looking for and i check with a couple of my buddies to see what they have
good luck, and i hope i didn't come off as too harsh, just tryna give an honest opinion

btw: black on black wheels with a black car looks dope, but in pictures they look terrible, because you can't see any definition.
but get what you want, so you only have yourself to blame if it turns out bad.
i was going to go with almost the same style as those. Matte black face, and gloss black lips, but was going to do the bolts gold, i still think it was a good idea IMO
