I think the silver wheels on the silver car, but the black wheels on a black or blue ( darker colors ) car. Both are clean looking. How heavy are they?

The 2nd set (Ruf Racing) look better due to the deep lip. Although, the 1st set (SSR) are probably lighter... I say keep the 2nd set.

Oh I am keeping both. I am trying to sell the tires off of the SSRs so I can put track tires on them. I just got a set of 17 x 9 black ZO6 motorsports with 17 inch MT ET streets for the drag strip. This way I have wheels for the street, the strip and the track........

Curious as to why you say that? Seems almost everyone else thinks the black wheels look great.
