Analysis paralysis - which DPE to get?

I thought I had a decision..but found out the DPE GT7 doesnt come in 19X8.5 and 19X9.5. Would have loved to do the titanium asphalt centers. Ugh...so its back to the drawing board. Leading towards the S20 in brushed aluminum...or possibly the titanium asphalt. considered the new gunmetal..or mat black...Decisions ...decisions... Why do these cost so much again? The most I ever spent on wheels before this was $400/wheel when I was sponsored by someone (those wheels retailed for $600/wheel).

Since they cost so much..I really need to be sure I get something I am gonna be happy with. I am really in analysis paralysis. Ugh.

S10 or S20 FTW.

personally i like the S10 better...but I like both.

in terms of a finish for a white car...i would go:

1. titanium asphalt
2. platinum graphite
3. brushed aluminum
4. hyper gold.

in that order of preference.

Between those two, I would go with the S20s hands down. I love the design and the 3 Piece Forged design is really something to think about. The GT7s are gorgeous, we have one sitting right in our office but I do prefer the signature series.

Im in the same boat with you.If Im going to spend that much on rims I need to be sure.Way too many decisions.Im getting flustered and might just keep my csl,s.they look good just not as strong though.
