Can't decide on these 2 rims?

Should I get 18x8 Racinghart C2's w/50 offset, or 18x8 DAZZ Matiz w/51 offset?

I have the money, the shop has them both in stock, but I just can't decide.
any thoughts ?

Thanks

I think both are badazz wheels, but I would get either in 19" I have 19" C2's and they look like 18's so imagine the 18's they probably look like 17's I think a larger wheel looks best on big cars like the TL

here's a pic of my TL on 19" 3-piece RacingHart C2's

i would say the C2's

and wheel size jus depends on personal preferrence, some ppl might not want such a large wheel...or for me wheel size is due to parental restrictions so i'm also lookin for 18" wheels...

slammed ... the reasont they look smaller is cause they are a 3 piece design and that extra lip makes it look smaller... the1 piece design of the c2's looks real big in 19" espically on a slammed car

if your car is lower it makes your rims look bigger also

I'd say do yourself a favor put the two rims together , stare at them until you make your own decision. Rims are relative really, even though I'm overwhelmed here I'd pick Dazz Matiz for you , but really decide it yourself, otherwise if you are sorry in the future you'd blame people in this board for picking the damned rims , my 2c.

I think I will go with the C2's. Those were my first choice from the beginning, but the shop had the Dazz rim right next to the C2 and they were both the same price.

Thanks guys for the opinions..

Hondaman, I say you should first photoshop them on your car or look at others cars, then go look at each rim in person.

I'd have to say the Matiz in this case.

I was considering the 3-piece C2's before too but after taking a really good look at them.. the spoke stops short of the lip creating a smaller look for the rim...

If you look at the Matiz they extend all the way to the lip... but like most others said... it depends on the kinda look you want for your car... if you want a mean look to the car u should always go with long solid spoke type of wheels like traditional 5 star..

If you want a clean look then something more meshy... but thats just my opinon on it...

I'm definitely struggling between one piece C2's.. which i've heard has there fair share of problems on our cars... or the matiz if i had the loot...
