Help on rims selection

Between this:


and this:


They are both 18x7.5 48+ offset. The FN01R-C is aluminum cast and weighs only 17lbs. Not sure about the weight on the Super Six. Looking to mate it with some 235/40/18's. What do you guys think?

I like the 6 spoke as well. I almost think that a lot of the 5 spoke designs almost look dated because the 5 spoke style has been around for a while.

yeah, the pics are all 4x...but, they both are available in 5x114.3.

i do prefer the Super Six from the "look" standpoint, but the other one is so light. then again, this raises the durability question - how strong/well does aluminum casting hold up to forged?

the Super Six's come in silver and gunmetal as well, but i think it would look pretty sweet in hyperblack. looking for the same finish for my anthracite.
