Wheel Advice...URGENT!!!

Well, only because I want to order some wheels for the spring...

but I'm stuck between the I-Forged TE-10 and TE-16. What do you guys think is the better choice? Either way, I'll be getting them in brushed aluminum or anthracite.

TE-10 on the GT3:

TE-16 on a 6-series:

I think the TE-10 is a classier rim that works well with my color combo (black/terra)...while the TE-16 is much more sporty.

TE-10



TE-16



I would go with the TE-16 in brushed aluminum, the TE-10 looks bland, and what's interesting about the Track Edition line is that the wheel is fully painted, no shiny/polished lips at all.

Quote:
Standard Finishes: Wheel is finished one color throughout the entire wheel. Choices are High Polish, Silver, Gloss Black, Flat Black, Anthracite, Flat Gunmetal, Race Gold. Additional charges for Brushed Aluminum.

TE-16s will look better on your car IMO. I had to do a double take on the TE-10s, they look very similar to volk ce28s.

I think the TE-10s look amazing on the GT3 I linked above though...

I agree the TE-16 looks amazing in its own right...my only concern is that it looks like so many other manufacturer's rims style-wise.

i'm not really a fan of either design. the te-10s remind me too much of the hartge rims which i hate and the te-16s are not bad..
