Please Critique These Wheels! (Pics)

[Chuck1986]

This is a rather unique topic, but seeing as howing this is the "tires & wheels" forum - I thought I'd post it here.

The top picture is my car with "stock" wheels. The bottom picture is my car with a set of aftermarket wheels. Both are 17". My question for you is, which set of wheels do you find more attractive? (Do not worry about offending me, I just want your honest opinion.)

Bonus question: You like the stock or aftermarket spoiler better? Obviously the high rise spoiler in the bottom pic is aftermarket.

Bottom looks better to me...

Bottom rims look far better. I prefer the stock spoiler, the aftermarket one looks too ricey.

Bottom wheels, stock spoiler.

I like the stock pictures best! Never thought black wheels looked attractive.

 

[xxch4osxx]

I dont think they are black, they look like a dark charcoal-grey kind of colour.

Stock wheels and stock spoiler.

 

[mpvue]

you need some beans to go w/ that rice.

I don't like either wheels. But between the two I would go with stock. The bottom one looks like the wheel gap is more pronounced. Also, stick with the stock spoiler. Your car has a lot of curves and the aftermarket spoiler is sticking out like a sore thumb.

Bottom rims for sure IF you can lower the car.

I like the black or charcoal centered rims, maybe if you tried an eighteen inch with a different wheel it would look good.

I don't like polished lips, so stock. Get rid of the shopping cart handle.

The bottom wheels look nicer but not enough to warrant the cost. Spoiler - the top one.

Bottom

 

[eljefino]

Bottom looks goofy with the shadow of the empty wheel well, black rubber, one chrome ring strip, and more dark colored wheel.

I like what the OE did with "stripes" on the bottom door matching the rims.

Me,I`m a stocker all the way! I think stock Eclipses are beautiful cars.

 

[aquariuscsm]

The only aftermarket wheels I`ve ever liked were Centerlines on muscle cars.

Stock wheels, aftermarket spoiler. The angularity of the spoiler matches the stock wheels.

Now if those aftermarket wheels were a different color like gray, I could see them. Not with that black color.

The stocks looks more elegant to me, but I would prefer 2 ribs 5 spoke design like Ferrari rims to the stock 3 ribs ones.
