Default LE37 or SF Challenge?

ok guys, i have a silverstone Z and im stuck between Gunmetal LE37 and SF Challenge rims. Im buying one of these rims by the end of nov. and i have no idea whcih i should buy. If i had the money i'd buy both and keep switching the rims once in a while. What are your opinions? LE37 or Sf Challenge?

If price was no object, which would u guys prefer?

LE37's =19x9.5/19.10.5 Mercury silver? or Gunmetal?

SF Challenge = 19x8.5/ 19x10.5 Mercury silver? or Gunmetal?

Are the TE37's the same as the LE37 look and weight wise?

Please help, i cant wait till the end of the week to make my descion and finally buy my Z some new shoes!!

LE37 vs SF challenge, thats almost an age old question. Really up to you... do you like more bling or more go. I vote for SF challenge, just looks a lot fancier.

damn, the Sf challenge looks reallly good with a combiniton of big brake kits. Without the fancy caliper, it looks a lil weird cause the rusted rotor and caliper shows alot. With le37, u cant hardly see that. I think im answring my own question.

Anybody got pics of silverstone Z with Sf challenge rims or Gunmetal Le37's??

it doesn't matter what others think. You're getting the rims becuase you want them NOT because someone approves of them. So go with what ever you like best.

Maybe this will help you out...when you think about your car with rims on it. What is the first color that comes to mind? What color are the rims when you're day dreaming about your car? Go with that color because you'll be happier. You already have a picture in mind of how you want your car to look, so go with that image.

one thing you might want to consider is the fact that the TPS sensors will fit like stock on LE37 but will not on the SF's.....
that's the reason i went with LE37's myself

They work on SF challenges as well, you just have to band them!

Well, the general population happens to disagree with your opinion.

jokestrap, ur car is silverstone with gunmetal SF rims right? From ur pics, ur car looks a lil darker which makes the rims look identical to ur rims. U have anyother pics u can show me. Im definetly gettin the Sf challenge but im puzzled to whether i should get gunmetal or mercury silver. /the gunmetal has a polished lip right? How bout the mercury silver?

To match the gunmetal as close as I was fortune enough to do you will have to have the Silverstone paint. The rims do have to polished lip. The choice of color depends on the color of your car obviously. I chose gunmetal b/c I know it was close to the SS factory paint color. It looks great. Can I help you with anything else?
