Default Which Ones?
Just like the title says. The price difference kinda has me going one way anyway but I am just curious what you guys/gals think. Just for fun. Sorry about the crappy photoshoping but it gives you the idea haha.


Cragar Soft 8's



Procomp (not sure if its to much bling for me or not)

I like the second ones much better. Soft 8's are cool but the second ones are different.

Soft 8's are used a lot but, they do look less sporty, I guess. My opinion..


Voted Soft 8's.

Voted for the 2nd choice. I'm not big on bling either, but that little bling does a lot to break up all the black.

the only bling you need to worry about is the mud you get caked up on that silver trim. stick with the soft 8's.

x2 89eliminator... the reason i voted for the 2nd ones is because they are different! jus bout everyone and their brother has soft 8's just saying...they are nice rims but i would go with the pro comps if i was you.
