Default Black Ruger Mesh or Silver 808's????

enlisting your help. Which wheels do I go with???? Ruger Mesh in Black or 808's. I can paint the black ones silver, so which wheels do you like better? I can get the Rugers, with Porsche center caps and black lugs for $1000 shipped to me. And you can see the price of the 808's and shipping would be another $200 and lugs $100, w/o Porsche center caps. Decisions decisions!

Black on a red car.
I'd stick with 18's

It's your car, so my preference (silver) is irrelevant. That said, I've never been nuts about all-black wheels. Black center and machined lip, IMO, looks better.

Also, I'm with 808Bill on the size -- I'd probably go with the 18's unless your roads are pretty smooth.

I for one like the 19's and like the silver. The roads in your area (I believe your in Las Vegas if I remember) are not bad. I put 19's on "even with allot of criticizem among other rennlisters and after 1000 miles do not feel much difference on the road. The only thing is that the rear 11" with et 56 may not fit. i have an offset of 64 on my 11" rears.
