Opinion Needed: Which Wheels Look Better?

I have a 2000 Acura TL in WDP. I already have a set of CL-S wheels that I bought recently but I came across another set of wheels a few days that grabbed my attention. They kind of look like A-Spec wheels but not completely. The seller says there is a very slight bend in one of the wheels but it shouldn't be a problem if it's on the rear. Is that true? I'm not to familiar with wheels so I'm not sure. He said it would not even show up on a picture. This guy is local so I can always take a look at the wheel if I decide to purchase. WHICH WHEELS SHOULD I PUT ON MY CAR? Also, could someone possibly Photoshop these wheels onto the picture below (borrowed from the WDP thread)? Thanks for everyone’s help.

They are 17x7 and they are missing the center caps. He is selling them for $325.

I second or third - where ever we are at with the vote!

No center caps, and a bend... F that! They were probably stolen. Its not often that the center caps are ALL gone - they get broken when the wheels are jacked - often its the center caps that have the lock to protect the lug nuts for wheel theft.

KEEP IT FACTORY: UPDATED - CLEAN - SEXY

If your looking to modernize your ride and look more hot - I have a new set of the 07 TL wheels, NOT the nasty TL-S ones, the stocks! They are in M.I.N.T flawless condition --- 17x8 w/45mm offset, Silver, they look sweet on the 2gens!
I photoshopped them on your ride - check it out:



Im sure you could sell the CL-S's and get a few hundred bucks + back in your pocket to put toward new wheels. Anyway - if your at all interested let me know... Thanks~
