Prefer the contrasting color of the XXR 513's.

Those aren't 10 AE wheels, those are just regular 88 TII wheels.

can you fit those XXR 513's under the front end w/o rubbing? If so, I'd go with those.

here's a pic of my 10AE with the correct wheels:



the 10AE was a TII and had the TII wheels..they were however painted crystal white on the 10AE as opposed to being polished on the TII.

and another pic for compaison:

xxr 513, I even like the color. The red on white reminds me of my favorite race car color combo, bold red wheels, on white, or light colors, the only example I could find (via google1forall).



The only off for me is the chrome lip
