Torn between 2 volks

Hey guys, I have a Wheel question for you guys. Which should I run on my car? BTW its WDP..

TE37's
17x7.5 +40
Gunmetal

CE28's
18x7.5 +50
Bronze

I will be running 20mm spacers on either wheels to give them that hella flush/agressive look. But my main question is which should I go with?. Not too much ppl run the CE's and only a handfull run the TE's. So its possible that I could be pretty original with the CE's. Heres the catch. TE's are flawless CE have some curbs. oh and they are going for the same price.

17 vs. 18. To me, not that major of a difference. However, 18 is the ideal size for a wheel that I would put on a TL. Maybe 19s but in NYC, that'd be too risky. Anyways, back to your situation, either way that you go would look good. I just prefer the color of the TE37 over the other ones. If you go 17, at least you don't have to really worry about always curbing your rims and what not.

Yah i think i actually kinda like the 17's tho. i mean i can run some HUGE spacers and put fattie tires and gain back my smooth lux ride that the TL was made for. IDK. that guy with the CE's is kinda flaking anyway

Oh. btw someone local is "kinda" intrested in tradeing my SSR's for his 8Mo old 19 Ti gunmetal TE's, plus cash my side. THIS would be ideal. i hope he goes thru with it lol.

neither dont buy used undersized rims haha. But if you want my opinion between the two probably the Ce's and an A-Spec kit.

If you're not going to get AT LEAST an 8" wide wheel...it's not worth it. Why go thinner than stock?? I would even venture to say it is not worth it to get aftermarket wheels unless you get 8.5" or greater width wheels.
