Rim change, which ones should I go with?

OK currently my APB is on Bronze 18x8 SSR's.


I know most of you wont agree with swapping to non-JDM rims but oh wells.
So which ones do you guys think I should go with? Think of these as my "winter" set up

Rim A:


Rim B:

The 2nd set... but only if you blackout the chrome trim around the windows. Otherwise, the 1st set... although you've already done the bronze thing w/ your wheels now.

i like the black better, but seeing the two sets on the car could change my mind. I do agree though if you are going with the black you're going to need some black out tape.

black.
The Gold will look nice as well but they are similar to the ones you have on.

Neither.

If you have to go with one, then the bronze works because the red stripe on the black doesn't match at all. You'll also have to black out all chrome because the all bronze just doesn't look right... unless you're trying to look like an STI.

They both look great IMO, but I just don't like the contrast between black/red with ABP.

Everyone brought up a good point, if I go with flat black I at least need the black Euro-R window trim.

More thinkin is needed.

btw, the black rims are ALT rims.

Still debating, Gold or Black hmmmm....

I didn't see that post... I think you should just save up and get some volk or gram light rims instead of having "winter" rims, IMO.
