Default GWG Flare Wheels

What do you guys think of these wheels?
They are 18 inches I believe...

Conflicted. The silver looks too busy for me. Oddly enough the red doesnt bother me and I rather like it. Not sure why the color changes my opinion so much, but that's just my quick take on them.

I like the Red design the best, and then you could also use Red Lug Nuts too.

Not my style, but between the two, I share Bumpin's comments. Silver seems busy (I think because it has a red ring) and the red seems less busy (no red ring).

Personally I would use black lug nuts.. Just my two cents..

Im wondering tho, do you plan to lower the car? I bet that would look good..

Budget friendly option is swapping the springs. More expensive option is coilovers. Most expensive option is air bags.

Main upside between springs and coilovers is that you can relatively easily adjust the height from slammed to stockish.
