I like both. I would cop a set of the diamond cuts.

The tires look big on the advance wheels compared to the diamonds.

Out of curiosity, which is lighter? I like the
Diamond cuts but the tires seem a bit narrow. Is it optical illusion?

I prefer the Diamond cut design over the Elite. In my opinion, the Diamond cut design is classy and sporty at the same time. The Elites make the TL look beefy, if that's the proper word to describe it, almost like an SUV wheel. And just like Echodigital, which wheel is lighter? Although, if the Elites are lighter, I would still go with the Diamonds. My Good luck.

I prefer the Elite wheel design over the diamond cut. Of note the diamond cut is significantly less weight per wheel if I remember correctly.

Diamond cut for sure. The other wheels don't really set you apart from the others.

I just picked up a set of Advance/Elite wheels to replace the 18" Techs I have. The Diamond Cut just don't look good.

I am partial to diamond cut wheels due to light weight and not as common factor. Also, $500 price tag for 4 wheels/tires made it easy choice to swap.

$500! I would have swooped at that price as well.

I prefer a sporty look so diamond cut would be my choice; plus they are the light. Elite/Advance wheels for a more upscale luxury look.
