Ok, here's a big view of each wheel
Envy Graphite think i'm leaning toward the Envy's at this stage, not 100% sure yet tho.

Graphite for sure. Envy's look to thin/weak. Graphite's look tough.

First wheels, envy, i've seen the others in person and they look average. Those other wheels posted look too much like a holden wheel, newish clubby or r8 or somthing, not a fan.

I haven't had anybody tell me they don't like them on my car after they've seen it in person. Hell, even my grandfather said he liked them :P |
