Help Me Choose the Wheels

Hey guys, I narrowed down my selection of wheels to these 2 and pretty much stuck on which one to choose. Rota RT5 and Enkei EV5. Both in hyper black. Love the 5 spoke design, going for flush, stance, looks. No track what so ever. So which would you choose?

1. Rota RT5
Staggered 18x8.5/9.5 +44mm offset

2. Enkei EV5

IMO the Rotas look better.

I have Enkei Raijins in the same exact sizes as those Rotas (45 offset) with 245/265 tires and it's almost perfect fitment. Perfectly flush in the rear, and the fronts would need 5 or 10mm spacers to be perfectly flush.

Rotas. More of a tailored look and less bling.

Rotas would be my choice between the two.

rears will poke stock height.

Source: I have same wheels.

OP: If you want flush look go staggered and get some springs, the rotas will be good.
