Longbeaches or RS6 reps?

[AbuNigel]

On this guy:



I want to get some nicer wheels and for the 300-500 range longbeaches and rs6 reps seem to be the nicest options.

or


I can't decide though.

Longbeaches

Pros:
cheaper
Will look good even if I have it raised up a bit
Cover up lame looking stock breaks more

Cons:
Potential to become boring
Very common
18s would look better if i can pull them off ride height wise
look harder to clean, lol

RS6 Reps

Pros:
Greater cool factor
Bit less common
More potential for shweet stance'age
option of 18 or 17 inch

Cons:
More expensive
17s don't look as good, and 18's might look lame if i'm not slammed, not too sure about this. (insight?)
Might look like i'm copying Tightdub lol
Reps might be more prone to bending? Maybe not, I don't really know.

Thoughts?
No money for a purchase now, but I like having goals to work towards :P

IMO RS6 18's IF the pic above of the car is the height you are keeping it.

I'd say go with the RS6 18's.

They might be more, but you'll probably be happier with the overall look, which is a far better value than the regret of not getting the RS6 18's in the first place.

18's look good on a non slammed nB. Take a look at MichelleRoze's beetle "Probie" for a bit of inspiration of a non-lowered nB. I'm sure she has some non-lowered pics of her boy.

And to have a nB that looks like Tim's beetle (TightDub), that is not a con at all! Like you said, the wheel isn't seen on every beetle, so you'll be okay. Besides the most important is that YOU LIKE IT, regardless of who else is sportin those shoes.

If I were you I would go for the RS6's.... You could always do inserts OR the cebtre part of each spoke where the grooves are color matched to you bugg!!! They would look sweeet!!!
