Which Wheels Should I Get?

I have a 2010 Lancer ES Sport. Pics on my profile. Im debating 2 different types of wheels which are:

XXR 527 18x8.75 +35 in lemon lime


Or

Sparko Assetto Gara 18x8 +45 in green


Help me figure this out please!

Pretty similar wheels it seems. I know the XXR's have a bit of concave to them (I'm not sure if it starts at a certain width or not), but I like that a lot. Not sure if the Sparco's have that.

Both look similar enough that I would suggest that you go with the Rim that can later allow for a bigger caliper [If you have that in your future plans]

the first ones would look better on the lancer because the second set looks kind of plain. the body of the lancer has more lines and curves in it and would fit better with the first set of rims

Take into account cost and availability in case you screw one up.

I like the XXRs better for your car. That said I am picking up the Sparcos for my own car this spring in bronze I think.

The style looks nice I like both as far as that goes, I know sparco is made by OZ so it is definitely a more dependable wheel. I am not a fan whatsoever though of the dayglo wheel trend so I'm not a fan of either color lol.
