I think both look just as good. This would be a tough decision. But then that's YOUR job.

I think the SSR ones look way nicer. There is something about ruff wheels that I don’t like . . . I think it may be the style of their lips.

If you are talking about looks, it’s all about ones opinion . . . if you are asking about quality the SSR’S are on a whole different level than ruff wheels when it comes to quality, strength and weight.

I usually lean towards the silver wheels, but the black are by far the best on your car.
