To DUB or to Find Another?

I've been looking at at these


and I've been looking at these


and now RonJon is thinking of some goodies

and


All of these are great looking wheels in their own right. I'm not asking for someone to pick them for me, but opinions on my finalists for a WDP.
I guess I'm wanting to confirm my tastes with others sharing the same interests

I've seen a black TL with the Foose Speedster's. It looked good and now that those wheels have been on the market a while, they are reasonably priced. Since Foose is a well respected name-brand, they should be a good wheel. However, you don't get any lip on them though and that seems to be the current thing to do so of those three I would pick the first ones over the Foose since you get most of the Foose look but also get the lip.

Don't like the first 2 at all. Out of the RonJon's I would put the last set with the black insides on a WDP.

Point taken on the lip and I do like the Dubs.

RonJon goes ahead and throws out the machined face and black wheels and if they come as 20's..... on a WDP.... that would look sharp!

Another consideration is keeping them clean. I'm in Fl. and summer has afternoon thunderstorms daily. Dirty roads= dirty car/wheels. I'm thinking the blk. Ronjons would work out better there. Guess I'll hold off until I see RonJon pricing


Thanks for the replies

To be honest I detail cars and there is more issues with black wheels than silver or chrome .. you don't notice the brake dust as much so its not cleaned and it is acidic when wet .. so it eats into the wheels.


There is nothing out there thats going to stop it either .. no matter who says what. No substitute for cleaning .. and in reality with a good sheepskin mitt and a couple M/F towels washing drying is easy .. I know .. I do it all the time.

These 2 are my frontrunners as of....today

I'm not the rich one, so I got to get it right the 1st time. Fitment is my biggest concern. Maybe the rims are good, but what about the tire size? Anyone actually have experience w/ 20" rims and tires? What tire sizes work w/ larger rim sizes?

Don't mean to throw off your decision, but the Inspyre Raven Black only comes in 19" x 8.5", but it still looks nice and aggressive, with the spoke design and black paint, they will probably look like 20" and still provide more comfort and wheel protection with the 35 series tires.
