Personally ( not because i have them), i'd pick the 19 gunmetal RTR's, this car looks OH SO MEAN.

I like the RTR's but the offset is too aggressive IMHO.
On that white car, the photoshop image of the 20's looks pretty nice too.

RtR's look great! Much better than the chrome/silver on a white car.

They both look good to me, but different styles. I personally prefer the RTRs on a white car, but that is just me.

What do you mean? I haven't heard of any rubbing issues if you go with the right tire.

What do you mean? I haven't heard of any rubbing issues if you go with the right tire.

I mean, they stick out from the wheel well a bit too far. You know how many Mexican's like to take their trucks and put wheels on them with offsets (or spacers) that make them stick out several inches from the wheel wells? Well it kind of has a bit of that look to it.
The RTR's don't stick out that far, but they def stick out a bit too far for me and remind me of the look many Mexican's like on their 1986 Dodge trucks.
It also alters the suspension geometry too much from what they were set up for and therefore can affect handling. It also can F up the braking system and more as the rotational mass if further from the hub than what was intended.
IIRC the offset of the RTR wheels is like 33, stock wheels are 48.
The RTR's are also 1/2 inch wider so it's really more than the 15 mm offset difference too.
The RTR's 19 x 9.5 wheels would be ideal if the offset were around 45 (42 max).
That's just my view though, others may like that look.
