F14. No...F05. No...
Sorry...I can't decide either
I'm thinkin that since black spokes don't really show up that much once they're on the car, the lip on the F05 might be the most striking feature, even though I don't really care for the spokes themselves so much..
Just my .20 worth....

black wheels dont look clear at night, do you think about getting white pin strip on those black wheels?
i think you have matte black, not piano black right? what do you think of piano black?
