Both are badass ass wheels. I have been thinking about these same wheels also.

I was torn between those 2 exact wheels as well. I went with the rts with the black center because IMO the all black wheels get lost in the tire. But those black chrome darkstars are badass. Its a win win decision.

It's a tough decision for sure and I will post pics in the morning of the car if I were to go with the rts I would do black face and polished/chrome lip.

Some polished rts would look bad ass on there with that purple

What width wheels are you looking at for the front and the rear?

Is the rear end stock width? If so you want a 7.5" backspace. . Anything less will cause the wheels to stick out excessively from the wheel well

Yes stock width rear and that's what I thought. And I was wanting to run a 10 inch in the rear and haven't decided on fronts yet.

The 7.5" BS works with the 10" wide, 5.5" BS with the 8" in the back. This is a 10" wide Weld w/ 7.5" BS.

If you go with the rts and you are going to run the 15x4 up front, the medium pad with 1.5 bs did not work for me. They stuck out like 2 inches from under the body. I sent them back and got the low pad with 2.5 bs and 0mm offset. With a .25 inch spacer they fit PERFECTLY.

I agree with Dawdaw, all polished would be effing sweet on that purple car!

Are you looking for a true "skinny" for the track, or are you looking at a wheel you can run on the street?

Either one will work and I love that 10 inch in the rear! I was thinking about running something kind of in between the true big an little set up and street because it will see the street a couple days out of the week.
