I'd kinda like to have both, but the Taco is my first choice.
The taco is definitely more subtle, the MK2 is much more aggressive.

Both look great though!

Thanks Matt. Can’t take credit though. The car came with the wheels (aero is factory) when I bought it 2 years ago.

What wheels are those? They fit the look of the car perfect. I have the turbo wheels on my car and like them, but yours are on a different level.

They’re Champion RG5s. 19”. Funnily enough I’m actually debating about changing them out for 18s. Liking the idea of bronze wheels on the black.

Keep me in mind if you do decide to make a switch, I really dig those.

I will for sure Matt. I love the rears. Huge deep lip on em. Rides great in the canyons but LA roads aren’t the best and I’m thinking 18s may be better, especially with my M030 suspension.

Who doesn't love a good factory taco? Especially with the Sport suspension, LSD, Porsche ordered BBS rims, Sport seats...
